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.
