Fear of aging out of my “aesthetic”

I know, I know. First world problems. And I’m not that blue about aging itself…I thought I would be, but 27 feels a lot like 17 but smarter, and I’m not upset I don’t look like a teen anymore.

There’s this one thing, though.

I love the sort of girly, “babydoll” type of fashion. Socks and Mary Jane’s, pretty bows, even childish details like little animal shaped accessories and charms. It’s just so fun and easy for me to get excited about those outfits.

- Especially after recently losing some weight. I’m finally letting myself have fun with fashion and I already kind of have this fear of changing. In 3 years, I’ll be 30. Is it okay after that? Or when I’m a mom? Just looking for some support/advice/experience from some other gals.

(None of these pictures are of me, they’re just examples of what I mean)

HR hit 192 on a jog, resting won’t go below 85-95 range

Happened twice, I can’t tell how long. It’s my first time jogging AND my first time tracking.

It makes me pretty dang anxious. Trying so hard to keep calm, but really struggling.

I’m obese - 200lbs at 5’5. Worried about sleeping tonight and not waking up in the morning.

Hacks for “eating out” meals?

My mom and I are gonna be away from the house during lunch a lot this week. We’re both on a low calorie, high protein diet.

We have access to most chain restaurants…do y’all have any recommendations for meal hacks for fast food/chain sit down restaurants?

It doesn’t have to be delicious, just edible and accessible.

How to look good in a picture if you’re overweight? And have bad hair? And have just finished a 5k? (Help needed!)

My husband is running a 5k for his company. I decided to join, just to be supportive…his boss found out and thinks it would be fun to put us BOTH on the company magazine! I don’t want to give out personal information, but trust it’s a big company and thousands of people will see it :(

I’m 5’4 and nearly 200lbs, which is the biggest I’ve ever been. I don’t like how it looks on me. A lot of it’s in the belly. I took some photos with my little cousins at Easter…if I hated the mirror, I hate the camera more.

On top of it, I cut my own bangs too short. I’ve got black hair and tiny bangs :/

I know it’s what’s on the inside that counts. And I love to take pictures for memories sake! But the idea of not only being seen by all those people, but kind of representing my husband too? I threw up when I found out 0_0

Does anyone have any outfit suggestions? Pose ideas? How to look cute candidly running across the finish line? I really need some help here. All the people in my people life either think it’s funny or passively tell me I look fine/it doesn’t matter. But it matters to me :(
