[quote=Anonymous]I'm 46 and have had a very rough couple of years. I haven't focused much on the right kinds of self-care and am in the worst shape of my life mentally and physically. I'm really shocked by how much my knees hurt and how little I can keep up on hikes and activities that used to be easy for me. I feel old, and it happened so quickly. I don't accept it but am sort of forced to act accordingly for now. My DH and his parents have always prioritized fitness even through the worst times of their lives. My ILs still road bike (mostly on rail-to-trails), walk daily, hike, ski, etc. in their 70s. I come from a "comfort first" type of family who really retreat and indulge during tough times. There's probably a balance but I now acknowledge as we age it's use it or lose it, even if it's very hard.[/quote]
