I'm a 73 year old man. I was never much to look at even when I was young so I don't worry about it so much now, but I can be depressed by the strength and stamina that I have lost. There's a line from a movie called Mr Skeffington that goes something like this...a woman is beautiful when she is loved. As long as someone in your life loves you, you are beautiful! Never judge yourself harsher than you would judge someone else.

@kjoed53 Yes, I am more upset about the loss of strength, stamina, foot pain than I am about my looks. But having had some physical therapy last year that surprisingly resolved a long term nagging knee injury, I found out there are things I can do - should do routinely - to improve.
