I have just finished my second fast day and last night I dreamt that I had lost so much weight my stomach looked like it did when I was twenty - concave with hip bones showing. I can still feel the delight I felt in the dream. Not sure I want to lose quite that much weight but perhaps my subconscious was telling me I could if I wanted to.
At seventy and 5'9" I started off weighing 16 and half stone, a weight I have been at for many years. My concern is that if I lose too much weight my skin will look pretty scraggy. I don't want to look like a hag. I recently made myself some Comfrey Root ointment for a sore on my leg. It not only helped with the sore but improved the skin around it, removing redness (from thinning skin) and age spots. I might try it on a few wrinkles elsewhere and see if it helps. Will keep you posted
