    After I had severe SPD (which still troubles me) with DD1 affecting my ability to walk, bend, lift and generally lead a normal life. Physio has basically told me that my body is going to be seriously stuffed in 20 years time unless we can get on top of it.

    So that's quite sobering and, for me, puts the other stuff I could worry about in perspective.

    I don't worry too much about the cosmetic stuff. Grey hair, I can colour it. No biggie. I don't have too many wrinkles, not worth worrying about. My skin isn't as elastic as it used to be but meh.

    Weight-wise, I'm much less than I was five years ago and if my stupid body would let me exercise, I'd be back to what I was in my twenties.

    So yep, I didn't think about ageing too much until my body started falling apart around 38.

    I am 31 this year and I noticed ageing around 27. Mostly my body stiffening up, not as flexible as before. I can't sit in one position for long
    My hair and skin is pretty much the same, but people always think I am younger than I am. Which is good I suppose.

    I was 35 this year and I have had grey hairs for a while, but not anywhere near as many as I do now. I think I"m blessed in the skin department though - for a person who used to roast themselves every summer with coconut oil my skin is still fantastic IMO despite having a few more freckles. I don't have wrinkles and my daily 'regime' consists of splashing with water in the shower and sunscreen when I know I will be out in the sun. Weight is definitely harder to shift too. At the moment, I feel pretty good, but that could change pretty quickly LOL.
