You look great in all the photos!. But I agree with what you say, if you are too skinny it doesn't look good!. I can't remember who it was that said it, but the line was 'once you reach a certain age it's your fanny or your face' lol!. No-body should get too skinny though, no matter what age they are!.
P!.S!. You get down to the weight you feel comfortable at, not the weight your husband wants you to be!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A healthy weight is a healthy weight!. Age should have little or nothing to do with it!.
In college (many decades ago), I wrestled at 142lbs!. That is still my optimum racing weight (triathlon)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, I agree!. On a lot of "recommended weight charts," the recommended weight does increase with age!. So around 35 and older, it's around 10lbs heavier than, say, a 20 year of the same height!.
You are asking a lot of questions about your weight lately!. I hope that this isn't bothering you too much!. In NONE of your photos were you "fat!." I think you're right; your husband DOES need to understand, that you are beautiful already the way you are!.
You also make a good point about the face!. We do tend to have leaner faces as we age!. I personally would rather have a beautiful face than body ANYDAY!. You can play up/down your body with clothes no matter what it looks like, but you can't your face (unless it's w/ surgery - like Demi Moore!.!.!.hint, hint!.!.!.) I will definitely gain weight if it meant making my face fuller and a bit more attractive (though honestly I don't need to right now LOL! I'm already kinda heavy, but oh well!) But I'm rambling on about the logistics of it all!. I actually think you have a very pretty face in all the pictures that I've seen of you!. Remind your husband of this when he mentions something stupid like weight (yes, I hate when men do this too!)Www@Answer-Health@Com
