Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | countrygirl, Wisconsin isn't that far away. don't make me come kick your butt.

a) i'm only 33 and i'm not old. so you're young, too.
b) my hair is thinner than it used to be, too, from being sick. so i cut it off. now it's quite chic and sexy and ya wouldn't know it's not as voluminous as it used to be. (ps: short hair doesn't mean matronly or stodgy!)
c) my hormones went out of whack in my late 20s and i got the acne i never had in my teens! PROACTIV, baby. i swear by it.
d) i am not the skinninest i ever was (nor do i want to be, honestly) but curves are pretty, too! my hints to "work it": don't wear hipster pants (no one should, anyway) and DO show some cleavage. at least, wear an open neckline. it does wonders for the overall look, i swear to you!
e) the bloaties will pass. they do make you feel rotten, tho, don't they!? grab some fennel tea, do some yoga moves, experiment with cutting out various foods that may be aggrevating it, take your soluble fiber. this too shall pass (hopefully). if not, invest in drawstring linen pants. i swear by them on my "fat days."

listen, i am the most beautiful i've ever been and it has to do mostly with knowing who i am. and i had no idea who i was before - in my 20s.

shake off your PMS, you crazy girl! look in the mirror with your well-earned 34-year old perspective and get real. you're beautiful!
