jennifer, I so agree with you and I am an old timer, too. I read these articles and I look back at how I lamented over my perceived body imperfections and all I can think about is how I wasted so much time with that. I didn't really enjoy being young. I took being young and having younger looking skin and in general, my youth. Now that I will be 59 this year, I relish what I have and how I look and feel and I feel freed from all that obsessions with my body. I will be honest also and say that I do look more to the future now and think about what I will look like in 20 years, then I have to let that go and embrace today.
A young woman posted a picture on another fitness forum I go to the other day and on that post, she said everything that was wrong with her body and she was shaming herself for how she looked and when I scrolled down to the picture, none of what she said she had or perceived that she had were even in that picture. I saw a body that was fit with muscle definition without any cellulite and thin legs. Her description had me picturing someone totally different. I feel so bad that some of us women have such a bad opinion of ourselves and compare ourselves to others. It is wasted energy.
