Chubby or Diet face

I really must do something about my weight. I am 67 and a bit on the plump side. I keep threatening to do a diet but seriously I don't want A diet face. What would you choose.

What is a diet face?

MooMoo I know exactly what you mean! I have lost 4 stone this year and had a "melted" diet face, to the point that I regretted losing the weight as I looked awful.

There will be negative comments regarding what I am about to say, but I'm now as happy as a pig in poo - I had fillers! My face now looks back to normal . Some may think it's mad to lose weight only to pay to have your face plumped back up BUT I looked so old, sad and saggy I hated it, whereas now I look like me again.

It wasn't pain free I'll admit, and as I only had it done a few days ago I do still have a bit of bruising, but then I do bruise easily. It wasn't as expensive as some may think and, for me anyway, worth every penny.

I'm not saying this is for everyone but it was the answer for me.

All the best

Dontaskme that’s a commendable loss, very well done.

To me diet face is what Timothy Spall has at present, he does not look well.

If anyone saw Davina McCall on the programme last night that was another " diet face " and she looks awful !! She looked sick too with her dragging skin.

I could do with half a stone coming off - but I know it would come off my face and leave my belly unscathed!

The saying is 'your face or your figure after 40', isn't it?
I try and steer a fine line between looking gaunt and ill or chubby and featureless... either way its a pain.

I know what you mean - what my mum used to say "when you get older, it's either your face or your figure".

Is there a happy medium, MooMOO?
I'm aiming for that (and hoping not to get what my mum called 'a scrawny neck' as well).

I do hope that Timothy Spall is well and that his weight loss is deliberate.

I think it's gravity, Luckygirl - I know the feeling!

I saw a picture of Celina Dion, she is not ill but has deliberately lost weight. She thinks she looks sexy.

Widen...or wizen.

Agree about Timothy Spall, he looks awful poor man. Was shocked when I saw him on tv couple of weeks ago.

Chubby ... no wrinkles

I think Timothy Spall looks better. More distinguished. Must be healthier too. That's the most important thing.

Which looks healthier\/

?

Davina McCall looks awful anyway. And she's paid too much.

Davina looks unwell, seriously . I love Timothy Spall, he can convey so much without words. However I think he looks unwell.

Davina looks awful. My daughter had the most beautiful face, very much like Nigella Lawson. She has lost tremendous amount of weight now ....does not suit her....she looks haggard , but who's to tell her? She wont listen to me.

I would use the word haggard, not slimmed down, and it's so ageing.
I like chubby cheeks not drawn-looking.

Relieved that Timothy Spall has simply lost weight, presumably dieted. I thought he was ill, didn’t he have leukaemia a few years ago? Sadly the reverse isn’t always the answer. I have gained weight recently due to meds. Still look an ugly old hag even with a fat face. There’s no justice.....

It is a very long time since he was diagnosed and had successful treatment, Alima.
I do worry that you can be too thin - if you do become ill there is no weight at all to lose.

I saw a picture of Celine Dion, Jane10 and thought that she looked terrible - either very ill or anorexic.

Looking at the two pictures, I would say somewhere in between, Gonegirl
