You Are Not Your Dress Size

Your dress size is just a number. But somewhere along the way, you let that number decide how much of your life you get to live. It's time to draw a line in the sand.

What to do if you have a bit of a jelly belly? You are not defined by your size. You are not your dress size. You are not what the scale says. That is just what you weigh.

When it comes to our bodies, yes, we need to be strong. We need to be confident. We need to be fit and well to live well and live long. We have a lot of love to give and a lot of life to live. So don't sacrifice your life at the altar of man because of this.

Nobody obsesses about your body as much as you do. And we've all done it. But it's time to draw a line in the sand on that beach in your hot bikini or your swimsuit.

It's about shape. It's not about size. Every body is beautiful. Every body can be dressed to look and feel incredible. Style is just a skill — and I can teach you. Start with your body shape and build a capsule wardrobe that works for the woman you are today.

You stop living because of what a stranger might think? Come on now. Stop sacrificing real life because of what people might think about your butt or your forearms. Think about it. You literally stop living.

It's time to break those chains. Get the key that is action. Walk out of your own self-imprisoned state of mind and let's do some life together. And if you have been feeling overlooked or invisible despite your experience, you are not alone — Why Women Over 45 Feel Invisible at Work gives it a name and a wardrobe solution.

Nobody obsesses about your body as much as you do. The kids on the beach carry on playing. The couple over there carries on tanning. Drop the coverall. Walk to the water.
