HRT Diary - Month 3 - Day 10 - SKIN!!!

 Here I am.  Day 10 of month 3 already. Everything good. Still wondering about the brain fog thing. I think it has got better. So difficult to determine. According to the time of the month I should be due for my eyes to start playing up shortly...

Reason for this post is its suddenly dawned on me how good I feel my legs are looking. I know they are brown, but this time last year they were also brown.  But I wasn't going out in cut down jeans like I am now.

I am 5'9. I was never a boobs girl. It was all about my legs and something I have definitely felt the loss of as I have aged. I had a conversation about 4 weeks ago with my best friend in John Lewis when I saw a lovely short dress and commented I just wouldn't wear it anymore as my legs weren't good enough anymore. She said I should wear what I want and I get the point.... but I wouldn't have felt happy.

Last year, I had been running consistently and they had a good shape.  They were also brown. Because last year we had amazing weather and I wasn't working. But, I certainly still wouldn't have gone out in short skirts or short, shorts. I can even remember looking for longer shorts to wear and having conversations that my legs just didn't look like they used to. Having conversations that the skin just didn't seem as firm and holding the flesh in its place like it used too.  I wouldn't say crepey, but certainly lumpy bumpy. Maybe cellulite....  Like the difference between a fat girls bottom wearing a pair of cheap leggings instead of a thick pair of levis that hold you together.

My legs are a little fatter than last year, but I feel they look so much better. No lumps or bumps, smooth. Like they did in my 30's (ok late 30's LOL) . It has to be the HRT!!!  OMG I love it!!

I am questioning a little if they look better or if because I am more confident I just don't care?  Does it matter?
