Is Menopause Making You Insecure? Here’s How To Reclaim Your Body & Style

You’re not alone.

I’ve been there—and so have so many of my patients.

Over the course of 10 years, I gained 70 pounds. Slowly, almost silently, the weight crept on. My body changed, my confidence shrank, and my wardrobe shifted to one shade: black. It was the only thing that felt safe. I stopped going out. Turned down invitations. Hid from photos—and from myself.

I’m short-waisted, and nothing ever fit right. I’d stare at my closet in frustration and end up in the same oversized black top again and again. One day—I was digging through clothes I hadn’t touched in years—and I found a blouse I used to love. I held it up and said to my husband,

“This looks like it belongs on a Barbie doll—what happened?”
He looked at me gently and said, “Menopause.”

It felt like my identity had disappeared underneath layers of fabric—and under the weight of something I couldn’t control.

But Here’s What Changed

I started weight loss medication, fully optimized my hormones, changed my diet, and hit the gym. That combination changed everything. My body stopped fighting me. I started to feel stronger, clearer, and more energized.

As a medical professional, I believe those four steps—medication, hormone balance, diet, and movement—worked together to create the shift I had been chasing for years. The weight came off. My muscle tone returned. My metabolism improved. And most importantly, I came back.

Now, I don’t just dress differently—I live differently. In color. In motion. In confidence. I’m no longer shrinking—I’m showing up. In ruby reds, deep greens, even bold blues. Color has returned to my wardrobe and my life.

A Style Reboot: Out of Black, Into Bold

Once my body began healing, I had to learn how to dress the new me. Because the old rules? They didn’t apply anymore.

Here are a few tips that helped me ease out of black and back into color:

• Jewel Tones – Emerald green, sapphire blue, and ruby red gave me life again. They added richness, energy, and confidence.
• Wrap Dresses & A-Line Skirts – Perfect for short-waisted bodies like mine. They created shape and celebrated curves instead of hiding them.
• Soft Textures – Ribbed knits, flowy fabrics, and structured layers added dimension without adding bulk.
• Accessories – A statement necklace or scarf drew attention upward and made me feel put together—even on days when I wasn’t feeling 100%.

This isn’t about fashion trends. It’s about feeling good in your skin. Style became part of my healing—and it can be part of yours too.
