I'm very lucky I'm still at the stage where I get ''noticed' ... so not invisible quite yet..although there has been a couple of occasions while waiting to be served somewhere , where I've been ignored so maybe that's the start of the slippery slope lol
 

I have learned to be happy in my own skin. I've forgiven myself for my character faults and couldn't care less anymore about my figure faults. If anything I am grateful to my body for having served me so well all of my life.
 
A pleasant countenance is all I hope to maintain

I am still working on my weight, and it seems like it is much harder to exercise and lose weight than it was when I was younger and could do more. I am more sensitive to heat and cold now; so except for spring and fall, it is hard for me to go outside and do much of anything.
We do go to the fitness center, and then I can swim and do water exercises, and I usually go for a short walk with my husband every day, except when the rather is really bad (hot, cold, wet, etc.)
My hair has been grey for a long time now, and I got tired of coloring it; so I just let it grow out in its natural color. Eventually, I got tired of that, too; so I used one of the Féria Pastels in a lavender shade, and I actually like that. (As a side note, when you have lavender hair, you become un-invisible again). Now, I just use one of those purple toner shampoos and conditioner, and that keeps it from turning back to completely grey.
I try to eat healthy foods, and to do even better was my resolution for this year. So, I am one of the ones who said I am happy with some things, and would like to change some of them.
 
Men can only do so much to make themselves look attractive. I keep my weight where it should be and I also keep myself well groomed. That's about all a guy can do. I do wear acceptable clothes for my age when I go out in public, unless I am in the middle of a project and have to run to Lowes to pick up something for the job that I am working on. Guys can't fix their hair like the ladies, nor should we be wearing makeup and some of the jewelry that only women wear.

Women that take care of themselves and wear tasteful clothes and fix their hair and wear an appropriate amount of makeup and jewelry always look much better than any man does. When I go out anywhere with my wife, she will at times say things like, "I like the way that lady wears her hair. " Or, maybe, "I really like her necklace." I have never heard a guy that I have been with ever say that about another guy.
