Love Handles

LINK: "Why your love handles may be GOOD for you" article in the Daily Mail newspaper MY COMMENT:

I agree with the reader comment in DM: "There's a lot of research available showing that carrying extra weight as you get older leads to longer life. Sadly in our society the ideal shape for older women is seen as the shape of a teenager. Many post menopausal women diet and exercise to get down to this size and shorten their life in the process..." And I'll add for me a healthy regime is better; keeping fit. From personal experience, with all my health conditions, I cried buckets at the thought of not being able to exercise to keep in shape, but have now managed to find alternatives. And the priority of looking after myself in how I present myself in 'appearance' is also good too in middle age for self-esteem, but I'll leave my youthful looking body behind in the past and am taking on a graceful looking one instead (admiring glances by men still occur, which means the effort is appreciated even if remaining single in status out of choice).
