I confess I am having a serious I CAN'T EVEN moment with one of my best friends right now. I love her to pieces but she's trying to tell me what I need to do to lose weight. Not only is she more overweight than I am, she's not actively trying to lose weight right now, either. Nor has she successfully lost weight in the past since I've known her. Her advice is so much crap, and I'm too nice to point out my success an her lack thereof.
Just smile and nod. And wen she falls back off the yoyo wagon and you've added more pounds loss to yr 71lb loss already, laugh inwardly cause u new it would happen and just think how amazing u are!

I confess i'm so desperate to get out of a friend event this coming Friday that I offered to take my mom to church. I'd rather take the torture of sitting through that sort of thing than having to listen to one of our friends criticize me, hubs and my boy and explain to me how wonderful and advanced her child is. Just her one child though because she's in private school and the other isn't. Where's the logic there
People like this drive me crazy. Urghhh. Never any logic. I just don't even try to understand the whys sometimes.0 -

I should let her know her daughter got into her private school because I asked a friend for a favour.

I confess that this morning I allowed my employer sponsored wellness program (that provides my health insurance) access to my Fitbit readings. This is something normally in the past I would be extremely resistant to allow. They offered me $300 in my HSA and I really don't mind giving them the information unless they hike my insurance rates (which is going to happen regardless).
That said I am still paranoid they will use this information in a harmful or detrimental way against me (or other insured people) to justify higher premiums, deductibles, co-pays, etc.
This is the world we live in now. Big Brother and Big Skepticism. How did we get here?4 -
I confess, it's a bit scary and un-nerving getting older. I was blessed with very good athletic skills and overall health, and probably took a lot of that for granted when it is given and things happen very easily like that. But now with my health issues, eyes fading a bit, and loss of movement like I used to, I do get scared, and honestly really mad at this body. I am working hard to cope with it, but there are more days than not I focus on the negative instead of the positive...no matter what I say.4

HEY YOUNGER MFP'ers!!!!! ^^^^^ Did you read this?
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh, never mind
You will never understand the power
And the beauty of your youth until they've faded
But trust me, in twenty years
You will look back at photos of yourself
And recall in a way you can't grasp now
How much possibility lay before you7 -
In twenty years I'm expecting to have cybernetic implants, if not a completely new and improved lab-grown surrogate body.

I think what @Timshel_ said applies for many of us regardless of our chronological age. You get older. Things change. Growing up and getting older can hit us all at different stages.
I'm 33 and feel ancient half the time because of the physical strain I've put on myself by being so overweight for so many years. At the same time, I prefer where I am mentally over where I was 10 years ago and I'll take me at 33 over me at 23 every time.

You know what since turning 40 I have been in what is likely the best shape of my adult life, I was told by coaches I had as a kid while competitively training that I am probably a better skater at 40 than I was at 16. I have learned a new sport which I'm actually pretty good at. yes I'll never be the athlete I was but age is just a number and as it creeps up recovery might be a little slower than it was 20 or 30 years, falls might hurt a little more but I can honestly be proud of what I have accomplished with my advanced age.
I skate with people with artificial hips and knees and who are 80 or 60 and trying to better themselves and learn new things. Anything is possible. I'm sure my 62 year old friend 20 years ago wouldn't have dreams she'd be lining up beside me and skating alongside people a third her ago and keeping up.1 -

For me it's all about recovery.
I don't heal like I used to.
I can't put myself into high gear as frequently or as long as I used to.
I'm not as fast as I used to be.
I played basketball this winter and hung with kids half my age. But I assure you I felt it twice as long as they did after the game was over. And I didn't have any of the pizza, beer, or late nights they had in between games.
It is what it is.1 -
We trade youth for experience. I don't think it's a bad trade.2

I think it just takes retraining. I admit I push myself too hard lots of times amd ignore signs that maybe I should take it easier. It's a combo is adhd and stubbornness0 -

Pretty much this.
I'm just half a step slower which means I just need to cheat more or be willing to throw a cheap shot or two.3 -
I like to think that what I have lost in my physical ability I have more than made up for in my emotional stability and wisdom... Although I am now working harder in the gym.. I find that it's a poor substitute for the physically demanding jobs I once had... sitting in an office sure makes a person soft :P3
