There is a quote from Marilyn Monroe in one of my fitness books or articles. I'll mangle it here:
"You can't have a great body and a great face."
What she was supposedly referring to was that slim women have faces that aren't as soft or young looking as the faces of plump women. I find it interesting that your comments about weightloss make you feel like your face has aged. I've seen that comment in a few other journals and it echoes what Marilyn said.
I disagree with Marilyn (and everyone else) who says a lean face is "older" or not beautiful. In fact, as we age, my friends seem to keep getting more and more beautiful as their faces change.
