I have a different experience of aging and my relationship to my body. I just can’t quite accept it. I am 66 and wrinkled and skinny and have a big belly, flabby arms, and age spots on my hands. I am a widow and would love to be married again, but I don’t see how a man would find me attractive. I was gorgeous when I was younger, and that makes it harder. I don’t feel feminine because I am so thin. My breasts sag, because even though I had two pregnancies, I never had children that lived beyond infancy. I am a college student and feel like a kid, and am treated by the other students as equal, but frankly, all I feel is old. It makes me feel guilty that I am not embracing my elder beauty. Help!
