I used to. But not any more. I keep myself physically and mentally fit. I am growing in confidence with age. I'm glad that you are putting efforts to be in good shape. What I realized is that if we stop worrying about aging, we grow wiser. Life provides different challenges for all age groups. Do just enjoy every moment :)

I'm 78 and loving it, I now look at 50/60 as being young...I go to the gym four times a week and I'm in pretty good shape...I actually don't dread anything, it's our 60th wedding anniversary next year and we have been planning our party..as long as you stay as fit as you can and stay happy together, then you have so much to look foreword to...

At 55, I went through a midlife crisis, so to speak, getting a full physical, realizing that I'm not 28 and bulletproof😔 but I'm 60 now and embracing the best years of my life. Beautiful wife and happy family. 💕🤗
Welcome to SW.😊🤗🌹☕️

Oh and one more thing my parents seemed to be happy in their 50s and early 60s . Only recently my mother developed wrinkles which makes her feel bad . Hopefully she can get Botox soon . Her health hasn't been great which caused her problems because she's been diabetic since the age of 42. I'm trying to avoid that myself but I love food and it's hard .

One day at a time. You will grow old together.

Okay so you're probably gonna laugh at me because I'm just 22 but I feel the same way! Every year I dread getting older

Lol but what I realized is that life is very precious and also brief so each year we are here is a blessing. Some people never make it to experience old age and have their lives taken too quickly. I would cherish life and the age you are, never take it for granted.

Look at it positively, every year you grow, get wiser and have more to give to the world, have more to experience :)

Welcome
I’m new too. First congrats on a happy marriage- I’m sure you’ll stumble across the endless laments about unhappy ones so cheers to you both. As for aging-I’m in my 50s and although my optics are getting hard to maintain (hair, wasteline, etc...it’s s battle) you just have to go with it. Embrace it. There’s nothing wrong with acting your age. Nothing worse than acting like your still 20! There’s a coolness and sexiness to maturity if you do it right especially for woman! As trite as this sounds everyone loves an attractive smart mature woman! I know I do! Have a great day!

By the time I was 50 I was looking forward to retirement and it has proved just as good and enjoyable as I had hoped. I have been lucky, so far, to have good health and enough money to make the most of it. Not everyone is so lucky, of course.

I don't really care for now and I'm in my 40s, everyone gets old . I haven't ever enjoyed my life . You seem to be happy and healthy with a good husband so you should not worry much .

I turn 61 in Aug. I have never felt my age at all and have never dreaded getting older. Because if I keep having birthdays it means I am still alive...lol

Im 56... and yes, that is a recent photo in my profile pic. I donr have many aches and pains, but i do struggle with PB a little. Ive been workinf out consistantly for probably 15 years. I dont have the body i had when i was 25 (and probably a good thing since i am now so uninhibited) but i am confy with my image.

Yes, but as you grow, you will find new and more exciting things

It really depends on your mindset. Being 50 or 60 can be just as fulfilling as being 25. Just don’t try to be 25 at 55 because that’s where the fear of aging is coming from. Whatever age you are,just embrace it

Hello - welcome here - hope you enjoy it.

I'm 56 and had some real health issues lately - led to me having to give up work late last year. So I'm struggling with it

Don't dread aging, it can be wonderful! I am sure your husband will continue to enjoy your company for another 40 years!

Keeping fit and healthy is all you can do. There is very little one can do to stop time.
(Unless you have a blue box in your attic)

i 100% identify with you. I am in my 40s and am in great shape... but I know it wont last forever and decrepitness is but a few years away.. terrifying

ha! very good question! I spent most of my 30's making babies with my wife and we are the proud mom and dad of 4 amazing boys! We did not sleep at all throughout our 30's and this continued in our 40's...I just turned 50 this year and I lost about 25lbs leading to the event and I feel the most alive ever! I love every minute of every day!!!! Something for you to look forward to! However...I do have friends that never had kids and they have turned 50 maybe about 50lbs heavier than when they were 30 and are looking towards retiring and death...not good!!!!!

Certainly, we all struggle with the idea of getting old, to varying degrees. But it’s just part of life. I’m trying to learn to embrace it rather than fear it.

I have grown old gracefully it has never been a problem. It is far better than the alternative.

You should be okay with getting older. Just stay active and be prepared for menopause it can be a bitch.

Stay busy and stay happy, at 61 I have not even started slowing down.

Will be 40 in less than a year and no anxiety about it yet LOL

You’ll be fine I was the same way. Just keeping it shape helps a lot
