Abigail Thomas Quote
What I used to fear was growing old—not the aches and pains part or the what-have-I-done-with-my-life part or the threat of illness, none of that. I just couldn’t imagine what my life would be like without the option of looking good. I had a piece of good luck. I married Rich in my late forties and thus was eased into middle age while living with a man who approved of the way I looked. When after three years of marriage I lamented the fact that I had put on a good deal of weight, he said, Don’t worry. I love it all. You can get as fat as you want. Then, upon reflection, he added sweetly, As long as you can still get up from your chair.
