Getting fit, loosing weight and fighting the ageing process.

So it's not easy fitting in trips to the gym, diet club meetings and reading labels on all food and drink purchases with a house to run, three children, a husband, a dog, a cat, a hamster and four German students in the house but I'm giving it my best shot.
I haven't got a problem with having periods in my life of being overweight and fit, after all I can diet and work out BUT what's all this with the wrinkles and pigmentation? I hate it. I don't want to be showing my age so much on my face. Because inside I'm still about 19 (mentally I'm still 5!). I have never used commercial face creams etc and only used to wear make up for special occasions until now. I can't the way commercials try to convince me that their latest creams and potions that contain all sorts of bizarre and alarming ingredients will just halt the ageing process but actually reverse it. Poppycock! We all know it and yet still we spend loads trying all the latest stuff and ignoring the ingredients list because we cant stand waking up looking like our mums. I simply have to wear make up most days now to hide a multitude of age revealing lines and blemishes.
And why oh why can't I find reasonably priced natural facial products and make up (credit crunch and all that) I used to use virgin organic coconut on my face overnight and in my hair weekly to condition but at £14.99 a tub I just can't justify it. And most of the natural make up I've tried is pricey and not even very good.
I wish I could accept the wrinkles and furrows but when I have to see them in the mirror every day it's pretty hard.
So I'll carry on working out at the gym and counting weight watchers points and hopefully the results will be seen in a few weeks but with regard to my face......
....is botox cheating?
