@dederickve thank you for your honesty! My weight has stayed the same, I work out consistently, weights, walk/running, (though I will admit here that I am embarrassed how slow I walk/run and regret ever complaining about a 12 minute pace years ago) biking, and yet my body has changed and I don’t like it - or the marionette lines on my face. Yuck.

I do know self-acceptance is in order - lots of it - and lots of gratitude, also, that has been mentioned. Not liking parts of myself isn’t a nice thing to do to myself, is it?

What’s funny, is the post that re-started this chain is from 2020

One consolation is that as our face and body change, so does our eyesight, so the aging isn't so obvious to ourselves.
