What age did you start to feel/look old....body starts to change etc....

[sangie]

it's the overall sense of feeling older that well kind of bothers me

Yep I have that feeling too, started feeling it in the last few months (I turned 35 last month). I think finding a couple of grey hairs hasn't helped And I definitely can't eat like I used to without putting on some flab. And that flab is WAY harder to shift now.
DH wisely says 'well you can't change your age so just go with it' lol.

btw I think your gorgeous and you look years younger that what you are!!

I think that my joints and muscles etc felt older after about 33. That is not to say you can stop doing things, just that things tended to feel sorer sooner.
As for skin changes, it was really in my late 40's. I think skin changes are environmental but mainly also genetic. My mum is almost 80 and she has two sisters that are 85 and 90. Mum and the 90 year old still have good skin with limited wrinkles but the 85 year old has so many wrinkles but I remember their mother had no wrinkles and their father had heaps so they have taken after different sides of the family.
I have been dyeing my hair since my 20's - again genetics.
Body changes, I am lucky again genetics on my side. The secret with putting on weight as you get older, seems to be to not put any on as it is really difficult to shift and it goes to different places! I know, easier said than done but it is really hard to lose.
But I am 51 and I seriously still feel (and sometimes can kid myself that I look) like I am in my late 30's - apart from the ugly creases around my mouth. Until a few years ago, I could never understand the botox thing but sometimes i think I could be tempted!! LOL
You have the best years still ahead of you - enjoy

I still don't Think I must be in denial! But I weigh the least I have in 12years and I am running faster and further than I ever have before too. I'm fitter than I have been since I was in my early 20's. the only thing I have noticed is some grey hairs recently arrived ( and not just on my head!!!)
