lalalazzz

Well, I'm one of the people who doesn't relish getting older and who doesn't embrace every birthday. I had a really hard time when I turned 30. Something about no longer being in my 20's made me feel instantly less cool. I don't know why this is.. it just is. I don't feel 31, nor do I act it but yeah, I miss being in my later 20's.

I just turned 45! I love my 40's so far and my 30's were AWESOME! I don't think a woman really knows what fun is until she's at least 30! Great post. Thanks!!

I just don't understand people who say the best years of their life were high school or college. That sounds so sad. The best year of my life is whatever year I am currently living! Besides, when I am a senior citizen I will get discounts, and I can pretend to be senile while deliberately cutting people in the grocery line. "What was that, sonny? You were here first. Oh no, I was here with my husband's medicine. It is very important to him..."

I am much better at 41 than I was at 21!

After living through my 30's, I welcome the rest of my 40's, 50's, 60's...
If we can't expect to appreciate our lives more and more as we go along, then let me off the train now.

Great Post! I couldn't agree with you more! Even though I am only 25 I love each new year that comes! More excitement, more adventures, more experiences and more memories to add to my already very memorable life I have a friend who has been complaining that "we're soooo old" since we turned 20 and it drives me crazy! I hope I never fear getting old and that I will always continue to view it as a currently do - more time to do more stuff

41 and loving it! I am in way better shape (cardiovascular) than I was when I was 21 and a fitness instructor.... BTW, also dating a man in his early twenties, and we are having a wonderful time!

Yeah I'm the same, I'm annoyed at people whinging about getting older, my husband died aged 47 and he would love to be getting older.

I always say getting older is better than the alternative!!!

You know, if I keep at this, by the time I am 50, I will be sexier than I've been since I was in my 20's....but I was pretty much a drunk then, so I will safely be able to say that when I am 50, I will be sexier than I have been in my adult life...I hope...

I often forget what my age is because I feel so much younger. I actually have to remember to "act my age" sometimes, but it's just an act. I go back to being a kid as soon as I can.

heather7marie

Things just keep getting better as I get older, so I'm loving it!

However, I'm not looking forward to being put back in diapers when I get real old. :laugh:

Oh that is so true! (Well not the cutting in line part). My husband is on 7 different meds.........cholesterol, blood pressure, blood thinners, heart rhythm etc. Of course some is genetic but he eats like crap and certainly isn't on MFP. I have tried and tried to work on the diet but we basically each cook for ourselves these days.

I cant wait to have children and then grandchildren, and grow old with my husband...

I am 55 and I don't feel a day over 25.....I believe that people are as young as they feel. I've always been a big kid at heart!

I am 19 and will be 20 on the 6th October and I am actually not worried about getting older as I look like I am younger any way so it doesn't worry me.

ladylu11

I love life! I am 44, I have three kids in college, and I am attending college myself! I can do more now than I did in my 20's. I just don't want to look my age. LOL

rml_16

I'm 34 and I keep thinking about how old I'm getting and getting kind of sad about it. But then the other day, I realized it isn't the number that worries me. It's the getting "old" part, and I have control over that.

I don't ever have to be the frumpy, grumpy old lady as long as I keep myself mentally as young as possible.

Whenever I hear somebody say how difficult it is getting older, I just respond with "Yeah, but it sure beats the alternative!". I'm 51, and I enjoy each day!

BeeElMarvin

I am growing old disgracefully.

THANKS! My new favorite saying!

chelekaz

Could not agree more. My husband is going to be 40 in October. We are all so excited. As a two-time survivor of cancer and dealing w/ an ugly blood disorder for the last 21 years we know how precious each year is.

letstrythisagain

LOL! Your kidding right? to the original poster.....check back with me 35 years from now....see how u feel then. Lets try to have some empathy. Life happens, people don't chose to not feel well or have progression of disease.
