今天的故事相信很多朋友都有同感。作者年过六十，不再有纤细的腰围。一方面觉得软软的肚子手感不错，另一方面，穿不上原来的裤子，心里还是有些不舒服。

I’m thickening around the middle. But I’ve lived long enough to be okay with that
I have lost my waist. It has been slowly disappearing through menopause, the pull of gravity on a 62-year-old body and the fact I am no longer a workout junkie.
It has been replaced by a soft Buddha belly that rests overtop the shelf made by my low-waisted pants. It becomes a jelly roll when I bend over. It is uncomfortable. It gets in the way. My feelings about it are mixed.
I do like the softness and roundness of it. I find myself touching it, cupping my hands over it. That feels comforting. However, it is uncomfortable when I try and do up my pants. It gets cut off by the waistband reminding me I don’t have the figure to wear low-waisted jeans any more.
