    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.

    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:

    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..."

    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 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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.
