‘I wished for curves’
Cim Ashton, a single mother of three, from Cardiff, says she feels great in a bikini. The property developer is wearing a little black number similar to one she wore in her 20s.
You’re never too old to look good. I feel more body confident now than ever. I feel very sexy at my age. I know my body looks good for 59. My waist and legs are my best assets. I wear a bikini as often as I can. I would never wear an all-in-one. How would I tan my belly?
In the old photo, I was a size-six and very skinny. I was modeling at the time but I didn’t feel as comfortable about my body as I do now. No matter what I ate, I never put on weight. I’d been teased at school for being skinny. They called me Twiggy. I wished for curves and to look more womanly. After I had children, in my 30s, I started to put on weight, ended up a size-14 and wasn’t happy. So I made an effort to exercise. Now I’m a size-10 and weigh around 8st 7lb.
