Have you let yourself go?

I always envy people with nice feet and can wear heels. I have very severe case of bunions, probably genetics... and it is most painful for me to wear heels. Not just the bunion, but the ankle, the legs and back would also get quite painful. The doctor's advice is that I can only wear Crocs (the big fat head one), or the likes of Birkinstocks. So here I am, wearing my Birkies to work everyday - with whatever choice of pretty or not so pretty dress. A perfect mismatch... but then, what can I do? I keep a pair of heels at the office but I always end up cursing myself after wearing it.
Actually, I don't have nice feet either. My feet are wide and most of the nicer shoes are rather narrow so what do I do? On the occasions I wear heels, I squeeze my feet in. Then when I get home, my feet are all red and swollen. -
Me too - don’t have nice feet. Mine are a little broader than most folks’ so my choice of Heels are limited. But I find that itto and Otto, Americaya and urs have broader shoes suitable for me.

I have been told to give up on wearing close-up shoes, period. Except for the occassional exercise/walking I can wear sports shoes/sneakers - but very selective shape/cuttings only. I know it is bad when my daughter commented "Why mama’s big toe looks like it wants to jump on the second toe?"… Yup… that bad. That’s when I bought 2 pairs of Birkies and said goodbye to my (flat!) closed-up shoes…

After giving birth to 2 kids, body shape has totally changed... I've got wider ribcage (coz bb like to rest high up), wider hips, saggy boobs & a tummy pouch. Even after back to pre-pregnancy weight, still cant change these.
I've never been actively exercising so not much differences.
But as I age I try to spend a bit more effort on my skin (which has never been good) & try to eat more healthily. I still go for facials at least once every 4-5weeks to pamper myself.
As for heels, I love heels! I've got broad & big feet but thankfully can find high heel designs to fit comfortably. I wear heels to work everyday but will change into slippers at my desk, so I don't kill my feet. I wear crocs on weekends if i have to chase after my notti kids. -

I try to maintain by exercising and walking more. Take bus/mrt to fetch kids. Move more so to burn more:)

Me too, after the 2nd kid, i almost can’t bid goodbye to my tummy pouch. Gain about 6kg, tried exercise but never be able to substain the schedule, keep coming up with excuses not to go jogging, never really able to control diet which I did years ago during park-tor time. Everything go haywire, slack and lazy. But i still will care about my skin, go regular facial session.
Sometime looking at the past photos, i am wondering can i ever resume back to those days? Sounds a difficult task now. -

Surprisingly I can get shoes from shops such as Charles & Keith, Pedro, Tangs Studio & Fiore... The leather ones will be more comfortable than PVC ones as they stretch to fit my feet better. I also skip those pointy types & strappy sandals.
