[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a 36YO mother of two. When I see twenty-somethings with their smooth skin and cute clothes, athletic bodies, etc. I feel sad that I am no longer that young. My hair is almost completely gray, my teeth are yellowing, my skin has lots of age spots, etc. My body isn't as flexible as it used to be, I don't have the athletic stamina that I used to...just 10 years ago, I was playing six or seven 90-minute soccer games a week -- a typical weekend would include three (and sometimes four) soccer games. I also find myself looking at my children, and their perfect little bodies, and I inwardly sigh at how perfect and young they are, and how old I am (and continue to get). I don't think that I will be one of those people who embraces the aging process...I think I will always look longingly on my earlier years. When I am 50, I'll probably look back to now and say "What the heck was I complaining about at 36?!" :) 
Does anyone else experience this?[/quote]

Haven't read responses yet but OP, you are not old - 36 is still young! Of course, I'm 42 so it's all relative but most of my friends who are my age look and feel very good.
Gray hair and yellow teeth are an easy fix. I'm wondering if your loss of energy and stamina isn't more related to having two children - it really changes your life and your perspective, not to mention your energy level.
