I Struggle With My Body Image

This seemed like a fine group to join. As I've aged I have worked extra hard to keep my body fit. Diet, exercise and more.

But it doesn't look the same. I see gray hairs on my chest and my first inclination is to shave them off. But I don't. And my stomach doesn't seem as tight, even though I put more effort into it than I ever did before.

My arms aren't as toned anymore. I get creases in them and other places. Damn those creases.

It's who I am now but I struggle with it sometimes.

If your happy, it really dosent matter how anyone else feels about the way you look , if you have a good heart that's all that counts , that's what I believe anyway .

I hear you. But I'm in the process of change. I never really excercised regularly or ate well until just before my 50th Birthday.
I was self conscious of my body all my life but now finally feel happy to walk around without a shirt. But you're right, keeping the tummy toned is incredibly difficult.
Good on you for keeping up the fight. 👍
