[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Age is just a number. I'm 40, look young, feel young, act young, I don't hurt, I have energy. But I know people the same age who are none of those things and it's like we're at least a decade apart. It shows how self-care, attitude, discipline, privilege play a big role in aging.[/quote]

Yes, it’s definitely your discipline. Nope. There is a cliff at 45. You don’t see it. You simply fall off of it. You can think you’re the same but it’s not true, not true at all. I’m 49 and the difference between 40-49 is crazy and sad, especially when compared to the difference between 30-39.[/quote]

45 here and yes, this.
40 felt young. 45 and I’m starting to feel old. Haven’t been able to run due to knee issues, need reading glasses, grays are starting to appear, gaining weight and losing muscle despite stepped up efforts to combat that. Friends are going through the same and our conversations are about physical therapy and perimenopause and keeping teens on the straight and narrow. I’m now seen as the older/wiser parent at work and with extended family. Also am now the boss at work and the person others look to for decisions and guidance, which is mostly good but also stressful - and makes me feel very old.[/quote]
