Default Woohoo for maintainers

Since Ive been post meonpausal Ive avoided the mirror...my stomach fat..arms and full bust..have been disconcerting to me...today I decided to look at my arms..Ive avoided sleeveless tops for that reason..today at the store and at home I looked closely at my arms...they look slender with little of the infamous "batwings" I shocked myself..what was I so afraid of? I could easily wear sleeveless tops and KNOW I didnt look weird..or fat or old..

I also realized that my stomach wasnt inordinately big and with a little work It would be fine..my bust? 34 c+ isnt awful..and could go down a bit...if I just keep going... a good bra works wonders!

what wooohoos do you all have today???

So happy for you!

I can't add to this as I do have some serious issues with my upper arms and thighs...that I try to not dwell on as its not someting that I can do much about barring surgery...which is not an option for me.
But I do try to make sure that I look as well in my clothes as I can.
