Do I need to worry about my body image now that I am 42 and divorced?

It depends on what kind of guys you are looking for. Keep in mind that the choice guys who women really like will excercise their choice and go for the women who appear to be in really good shape.

If you make a lifesyle of taking great care of yourself, it will show, and you'll be turning heads the way you did at 22.

I think you should always care about your body and fitness level. So long as you care for yourself, you should look hot for a 42-year-old! I think feeling uncomfortable in her own skin is a very unattractive trait for a female.

If you are anything like what I am imagining, you are a 35 y/o man's dream. I can respect the fact that you care and are aware of the changes you are going through and that you want to do something about it. I am sure you are as beautiful as you are sexy. The ladies have answered very well, I agree with most of them.
People should love you for you and your personality, to me, that's what attracts me to a woman, not her age, not her looks, not her body. I would be a liar if I told you that it's not something I pay attention to, but if her mind is right and her personality is better, she will turn me on.
The reason I say this is because when women have babies there bodies change dramatically. The breast get bigger, their buts get bigger and unfortunately everything doesn't go back to the way it was. So what happens, do you stop loving that person, do you leave them? Some assholes do and they are the ones that eventually end up alone because they too are getting older and their bodies are changing to.
As far as your body, take up a workout schedule. You can meet many guys that are into mature beautiful women at a gym. Usually younger guys. I loved having an older woman when I was younger, it made me feel manly.
Stop worrying about what people think about you and be yourself. Someone will love you the way you are for who you are.
Don't worry about what your ex thinks about you. He is getting older too.

Sounds like you need a day to pamper yourself! Get a body wrap, get your nails done, change up your hairstyle to something funky -- go crazy for a day. You can also start working out to flatten your stomach and use something like firming lotion for your skin. There are even exercises you can do to firm up your boobs.

I'll bet you a million dollars that men don't even see you that way! Just love your body and be comfortable with it, be confident. I don't have a perfect body and I'm not "hot" (I'm only 20!!) But confidence it what makes you sexy. So love your body and everyone else will!

It doesn't matter how the guy thinks, you will find someone that loves you and if they really do, then they will love your body. It doesn't matter how you look, it is personality.

The gym is an idea, but if you have confidence in your body and how you walk and hold yourself, then you will stand out, and guys will take notice. There could be a hot 20 something looking down, and wearing baggy clothes, and guys will walk right by them. But if you are wearing a smile and your head high, guys will take a closer look.

If its something that's really bothering you, you could try joining a gym to give yourself more confidence, I know that works for me. =]

If you want other people to love you for who you are you have to love yourself! That comes first, you need to be comfortable in your own skin. If you love yourself and think good things about yourself, people won't care how you look like on the outside. And if a man loves you, he will not care, I know that for a fact. I'm only 18 years old, 5'3 and weight from 120-135. My mother calls me fat everyday. (shes starting to piss me off with that and making me feel really insecure about myself, but I don't care) and neither should you care about how you look on the outside. People will love you for who you are!
