Ideal Bodyweight - Smaller Butt or Younger Face?
There is an old cliché that
unfortunately is true. When it comes to losing weight,
an older woman will have to choose between saving "her
butt or her face." This refers to the idea that
if you lose too much weight your face may look more
haggard and wrinkles may be emphasized. You could get
rid of a double chin and end up with a flapping turkey
neck instead.
Jowls that have lost their pads of fat
could hang and gaunter cheekbones could create a ghoulish
or wolfish look on an older face. Eyes could appear
more sunken and the skin could lose its dewy sense of
tautness. Often older faces that have lost too much
weight appear cadaverous or as if they are continually
remembering the pain part of another old expression
"no pain no gain."
The truth is that a fatter face often
looks much much younger than a gaunt face. The extra
fat pockets plump out hollows in just the right places
creating a youthful appearance.
Wrinkles and expression lines such as crow's feet are
simply less noticeable and often the skin texture on
a plumper woman is simply smoother and healthier looking.
On the other hand, if you keep enough
weight on you could end up with a rear end or thighs
that are much larger than you originally desired. Notice
that many older women with beautiful line free visages
and gorgeous complexions usually tend to be apple shaped
or pear shaped in their lower body.
So are there any remedies for this all
too familiar paradox? Do you really have to sacrifice
your looks for a smaller rear end? Does it really have
to be one or the other?
Unfortunately the older you are the
more inescapable this sordid truth is. You either settle
for being slightly heavier or you can spend thousands
of dollars on anti -aging serums and plastic surgery
to get rid of excess skin and wrinkles caused by the
weight loss. Or you can opt to have plumper, less lined
features and spend a ton of money getting liposuction
on your tummy, thighs and rear end.
Fortunately, having a bit of "a
booty" is in as has been demonstrated by sexy superstars
such as Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez. Keep in mind that
there are also many celebrities who buy padding to insert
into their underwear to keep their backsides looking
plump and well rounded. This seems so unnecessary when
all these "stick insects with mascara" (as
Bridget Jones called them) could easily achieve this
by consuming a few good meals. If you want to be "cool"
you will go for having a slightly bigger butt and a
younger face.
Although being thinner is healthier
then being too fat, the best compromise is to be the
healthiest weight for your age and body shape. Keep
in mind too that the people that look the youngest,
no matter what their weight, are those that are the
happiest and not stressed out by things like calorie
restricted diets, painful plastic surgery or even caring
too much what other people think. It is all in the attitude.
