Midlife Crisis?



Recommended Posts

I am wondering if I am going thru a little midlife crisis? I am constantly wanting to go shopping, which I never hadvan interest in before. I have started going tanning. I am almost considering getting a tatoo (still cant bring myself to actually do it).

The only thing I am not doing is looking for a younger man :) I am still quite in love with my hubby. Even though he is not showering me with attention like I thought he would when I lost weight. Thats kinda a bummer.

Anybody else feel like they are changing more than figure?

It's called feeling awesome about yourself!!

I too have found myself getting my nails done, getting new perfumes/lotions, and just treating myself a little more than usual!!!!

Me too! And now I wear high heels. Well, not heels but wedges!

I think getting the band was part of my midlife crisis (in a good way of course). I didn't want to spend any more years being obese and frumpy! Shopping is great therapy!

On a side note: I would urge you to stop the tanning. I got squamous cell carcinoma on my nose from tanning in the sun and tanning beds.

I bought some wedges also. I also bought a cute little top in the juniors section at kmart. I think it was by selina gomez. Omg, really!! But what the heck, if I can fit into it, im gonna wear it.

Thanks hummingbird, I will keep it in mind. im basically just trying to get a little bit of a base tan so that I dont get all kinds of different tan lines like I did last summer. It was a free week, so I prob wont go after that ;)

I feel like I have been in a midlife crisis for the last 20 years. Now I just feel old. Today my son turn 31 and I feel like I should just put my hair up in a bun and find a frumpy dress. I think you are just feeling good about yourself enjoy it!

I think you are just enjoying what you are supposed too! I used to be ashamed and make excuses not to shop. But now I cannot get enough

I love dresses!

I know where you are coming from Cheri. But you see, that is where I was before loosing 100 lbs. I was the typical "grandma".

When I cut my hair, they cried! "Grandma's have buns". Well that was over 2 years ago.. They still love me, and I love me more! My baby is 37! I just celebrated my 42 year anniversary and could not be happier! I am with Hopetolose if it fits flaunt it!! My husband is a pusher, that is he likes to see me looking good too! He takes me shopping. He will tell me, "Oh that makes you look frumpy!" or "that looks good!" Sometimes he ikes things too short, tho' Enjoy!!Karen

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
