I'd mentioned in an earlier post that I was considering having a minor procedure done under my chin. This is an area that is a tell for a woman's age. I had the appointment last week and the doctor (a very reputable one - maybe even the best in my city) said he could make an improvement.
Would I be as interested in keeping youthfull-ish if I was with a man? I'm not sure. I think he'd help me determine whether it was important to him if I did or not.
There are a lot of misconceptions out there regarding cosmetic procedures. Many people seem to believe that you'll look unnatural, freakish even. If you have good mental health and a very good doctor I don't think this is the case. You'd have to work pretty hard to convince me that most of Hollywood hasn't had work of some kind or another. The invention of fillers for the face has stopped women and men from going under the knife perhaps, but they're still getting interventions.
I'd recommend staying out of the sun without sunscreen, eating healthy, drinking lots of water as fairly natural interventions.
I've begun to whiten my teeth as often the mouth is one of the areas that will give away age. I had molds made for my teeth, I fill those babies up with whitener and sleep through the night while my teeth get bright. I've been for IPL laser treatments for my face because I have the tendency to get tiny little red veins in my cheeks and around my nose (rosacea) and triggers like the sun can make them worse. They are permanent improvements as long as you don't do the things that caused them in the first place. I take a very strong medicine for my rosacea which has caused my skin to look quite clear - I'm not complaining.
All this work won't stop the natural descent of the face. I'm going to go ahead with the procedure and try to halt the sands of time. He's very booked and it looks like the Spring before I can go. Shitty. Hopefully the cancellation list will help me some.
The reality is I'm vain. I don't want to accept aging lying down if I don't have to. Keeping myself healthy and doing minor aging preventative measures is okay in my books. The good news is I'm not trying to attract younger men. I have a healthy reality when it comes to who I could or should attract and if I have any doubts I just need to visit Roissy.
The truth is I get turned on by objectification. If I can't at least look close to objectifiable then its not going to happen. By the way that's a big confession and it seems weird to admit it. I'm not the barbie type. I'm not skanky, slutty or trampy. I don't look particularly hot. So why the thrill of being a sex object if I don't seek the look? Can't answer that really. Hmmmm.. Food for my own thought.
Speaking of food I'm on day two of my new regime. No sugars, no dairy, no excess salt. I am peeing a lot, which means my carb intake is down, carbs hold water. I plan on eating salmon, skinless chicken, eggs for my protein and have high fibre foods like brown rice for carbs. Salad consumption will round out the equation. I like that I have an eight week goal. Clio talked about perseverance on a post of hers and I'm concentrating on that word as a way to get me to the end date.
