for the record:

sagging - I have breastfed three children. that entails going from a B-cup to a DD-cup three times so not only do I have sagging, but I have stretch marks, too

cellulite and fat - When I went back to school the summer before last, I started putting on weight, 15 pounds, which resulted in my now having cellulite on the back of my legs and fat on my stomach. Obviously I wasn't showing my stomach in the photos you saw and the amount of cellulite is such that when I'm in certain, uh, positions you can't see it. But as an anecdote, the other day I went to school in a pair of shorts, not too short - just a regular length, and when I happened to glance down at my legs, I was not so pleasantly surprised to see a nice display of cellulite ripplage smashed against the seat. nice, lol.

what's more, I have wrinkles and extra skin on my neck.

All that said, I'm still pretty comfortable overall with the way I look, I held on pretty long relatively speaking, heh. But I know for a fact that many women would run over their own mother in the rush to get to a plastic surgeon to have these 'problems' fixed. I find 'vanity' cosmetic surgery to be distasteful - but that's just my opinion. Even though sometimes I look at myself and go 'what happened?' I accept the new me and, at times, even revel in it. Sometimes I feel very womanly.

Plus, my grandmother had her eyes done when she was about 60 years old, and I was never able to coalesce with it. She looked so different. Bizarre to me...I think that, combined with people's unrealistic attitudes towards aging and having bodily imperfections is the basis for my opinion on the subject.

so there.
