Menopausal Madness

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in posting but the very warm temperatures merely added to my already overheated body, the flushes were bad enough without the HEATWAVE (well, it was, for here), the menopause is not kind, it doesn’t stop to think, hey, Winter would be better, no, it thinks 28 degrees outside and flushes inside, no big deal , well, it was and it is, thank you very much, you bitch. If menopause and flushes came in Winter, well, that is a bit more sensible, we wouldn’t need central heating, given the hike in fuel costs that would be a blessing, we would have our very own Ready Brek bodies, (some people may have never heard of that, it was a breakfast cereal that was mean to give you a warm all round glow, ok, so you have never heard of it, no need to get snippy about it – jeez) , so anyway, …… I just wasn’t in the mood to be sociable!!!!! Give a girl a break.

I have now given myself a good

And…….. I’m

Ok, so enough of my nonsense. If any of you are going through the mentalpause, sorry, menopause, I feel your pain. It’s absolute crap, flushes, moods, brain fog, tears, weight gain, yadayadayada, etc,etc,etc.

So, we need to focus on something else. Let’s disperse of all the negativity that this brings and just try and focus on getting through it, we being kind to ourselves in the process.

I will start this off then…………..

So, I will never be that weight I had coveted and worked so hard to get to again, I will just need to live with it and adapt my wardrobe to fit my new found curves………………… and……………… get rid of the clothes that I so depressingly try on every week and every week they still don’t fit…. imagine, not losing a pound and them still not fitting, who would have thought it??? Take a positive from this Val, you will have a less cluttered wardrobe at the end of it, meaning you don’t need to iron everything again as it’s all been crammed in, find things, even things you forgot you had, with the price tags still on them!!!!! EEJIT.

Okay, so there’s a negative banished right away.

YOUR TURN NOW – GO ON!

Clothing and styling have changed a lot over the pandemic. I rarely see anyone in heels now, even going out, maybe it’s just people of my age but, as a bit of a voyeur, I do notice these things. The days of the skinnies, bodycons and heels are gone. We are more relaxed in the way we dress now. We can literally dress any outfit up with make up, accessories and a decent hairstyle. HAVE A GOOD DIG AROUND IN YOUR WARDROBE, IT’S AMAZING WHATYOU’LL FIND THAT YOU CAN TOTALLY CHANGE THE LOOK OF, WITH JUST A CHANGE OF ACCESSORIES.

We can still have a bit of retail therapy as well, I haven’t went totally mad. YET!

As Autumn will be with us before we know it, why not treat yourself, you deserve it, you didn’t ask for this middle aged madness and if you did….you deserve everything you get… are you crazy??????????????????

Autumn 22 is all about
