Lol my mother never uses age as her excuse. She went from being about the same as me (98 lbs-100 lbs) to a blown up 230 lbs on a good day. talkin the whole upper arm hanging over the elbow type fatness. Anyways, she uses "being content" as her excuse. I guess she figures she don't need to look good cause her 60 yr old husband ain't going no where else but 6 ft under.
But,
As a side note, When I saw the first pic of her in a bikini I KNEW she wasn't a lifelong fatty. Lifers don't wear two pieces. Only new fatties. They don't know how to be fat yet.
