Not Sure How To React

[Guest therisa]

Last night was, one of those rare occurrence, this week, which I was able to, get out of my apartment and interact with other people. While talking with three young mothers, who know about me and my struggles, I ask them, what they thought, my age was. Their response to that question, totally floored me. Their answers ranged from 34 to 31 years old. Totally, low balling my actual age, by least 7 years.

You must realize, two dark black circles ringing my eyes, from the gift from the past couple of weeks, of not able to get any sleep. Making my eyes, look like a raccoon mask. Ugh!! Not sure, if the twilight sky, hide other flaws, which I am not aware, but quite possible. Either way, people normally underestimate my age, but never this low.

Hm, could this be, a reaction to taking Estrogen, or the fact that I do not smoke, avoid whenever possible the sun and tend to eat healthy foods. A given, if I want to be, in total control of my diabetes. Not that I really care, but interested, to find out an answer.

Everyone keeps saying that HRT makes you look younger. That combined with your other healthy habits has probably given you a gift of youthful appearance-enjoy!

All that! But HRT does a body good!

Now, Lizzy, didn't I ask you to stop passing off Sigourney Weaver's photo for your own?

Therisa, they are right on. Estrogen really does smooth out facial features and give you a more youthful appearance. People have asked me about such changes too.

Just think how good you're going to look with proper rest and a touch of makeup.

O_O Gorgeous hair, and 63? You barely look 35!

I hate when people lie to me about their age :<

When I was 22, I got carded at a Montreal bar and the legal age is 18, in the province of Quebec. Sigh. Sad thing is, I order a 7-Up and my friend, who is a year younger, didn't get card and order a beer.

I'd take that as a compliment honey bunch

Youthful appearance is on of the things I pray I retain, so that means you're doing well for the age they pegged you at

[Guest therisa]

Guess, not bad for, a 40 year old gal. That happened in 1992, Maria, when I visited Montreal, as a birthday gift to myself.

Hehe, honey, I was referring to your original post Gosh darned you for not working, Multi quote! -curses to the wind-

I don't see how it could be anything but a compliment. People spend billions of dollars every year trying to look younger. Almost no one old enough to legally buy alcohol ever tries to look older. I remember getting carded for R-rated movies and lotto tickets into my early to mid 20's, and I was always very flattered by it. Some people even accused it of being a fake. Its actually a bit depressing, now at 30, I barely even get carded at bars and nightclubs anymore. In our society, youth is beauty, especially for women. You will have plenty of time to look older in the future, no need to rush it now. Age is inevitable, but youth is fleeting.

I really believe it is the HRT, I was at a picnic today and my one friend said I looked Sexy Hot! Lol, who would have figured? I was only wearing jeans, a blue feminine top, silver necklace with a butterfly pendant and a touch of makeup, oh and my cool shades.
