Love this Maggie! I think there is an increasing subgroup/parallel universe(?) where older women are speaking out about themselves/ourselves, our real, wobbly, wrinkly, grey-haired, beautiful selves. Bring back the Matron status (with a better name)! And toss out the skinny, trying-to-be-young-older-women, which I'm convinced only exists because of the business of plastic surgery. Can you imagine being injected with botulism? Or having silicone bits stuck inside you? I go to a gym where I see a whole lot of the authentic women, who've come to realise muscle and bone loss are real. And are doing something about it! Let's do this ladies! And a final word: Calcium in real food ie cheese, is much better absorbed by the body than from supplements! So we definitely need more cheese!
One can never have too much cheese - thank god for flabby bellies and glorious grey hair, I'll take that any day over Hollywood hideous, those images make me sad.
