Elizabeth Carol: age 48 1/2 and counting down until 50!
This is how I usually acknowledge myself. My family originates from southeast Missouri.
At home, I am called Carol by family and friends. Where I live now, I am known by
Elizabeth.
I tell you this because it is difficult to have two different identities.
I often find myself asking, "Okay, who am I today?"
It's hard enough deciding who you are and how you want to see yourself. I, like many
others try to see myself as others do. I try really hard to present a happy-go-lucky how
you look SO effects how you feel about yourself. People can say all they want that it's
what is on the inside that matters but I know that if "I" don't like my outside, I do not feel
pretty and that affects my inside!
Since having a hysterectomy in 2004, my entire life has changed. This affects
everything from skin tone, metabolism, sexual libido, and among several other things;
my mood. I have fought very hard to conquer these changes and sometimes have lost
the battle. I consider it my personal goal in life to keep on trying and when I win a little
battle, "It is a Good Day!".
I recently cleaned out my closet(s).... of which I had 3 sizes of wardrobes! I have gone
up 2 sizes in less than a year. I know that doesn't sound like a lot but when you have to
wear dress pants and heels every day it can get really expensive! So, for today, I am
back in my 'fat' pants and am actively back on my diet regiment. I was very successful
with weight watchers before but with the economy like it is I've had to 'do it on my own'.
Now I do not have to do it alone!
Elizabeth
