Omg my boobs!!!!! They are really upsetting me I cant even look at them. Is it a hormoanal thing that they have gone like this?
I really hope I start getting used to these changes.
Also I change my patch on Tuesdays and Saturdays and I noticed on a Sunday morning my symptoms and mood are always worse than any other day? Could it be from changing the patch?

Don't forget that when we look down at our body, it's a different view point than from side or straight onwards ;-)

Time to treat yourself to some really gorgeous undies, Lisa JT?  Can look fab  :-* & might make you feel a whole lot better.  I've amassed a vast selection now  :o in late 50's & love buying new sets.  Not being able to get out to buy any more in lockdown has given me withdrawal symptoms  ;D.  Probably own more bras, knix & camis now than the total I've had in my entire life!  Maybe try some new styles to see what suits your changing shape?  You might surprise yourself.  Lots of lovely ones out there - no need to go for the Norah Batty thermal bloomers CLKD wears  ;)

Hello ladies.

My bingo wings appeared one day when I was washing my hair in the shower and about a year later my bottom deflated and I wondered where the fat had gone. Mystery was solved when it all appeared on my belly.

I have really noticed my greying hair since Lockdown plus my once dark eyebrows are becoming paler.

My eyesight is increasingly dodgy and I have a cataract in one eye so everything looks misty and out of focus. Which is handy for looking in mirrors. 


Lisa JT -  your  moods could well be related to changing your patch. Hopefully one of the ladies on the same regime will be along to advise you. If not perhaps start another thread on the subject. For my boobs I find wearing  a sports bra does wonders and French knickers are gorgeous.

Take care ladies.

I wish I could wear nice lacy knickers,I have a drawer full of them but I hate my belly, it just kinda hangs there all covered in stretch marks (big baby 9lb 4oz 🙀) so if I'm wearing a dress I need control knickers,not the most sexy of things  :'(

Thermal bloomers freshly laundered and put into the drawers  ;D.  I HATE skimpies too  :-\ .......... comfy for me ;-).  Don't wear bras anymore, even though I love matching sets. 

Lace itches jaypo - had you forgotten  :D

I'm sure the image will fade in time  :o. But with a sense of humour like yours it doesn't matter what you look like  :)

Just read that back and realise it could be taken as an insult. It was meant to be a compliment.
