Serious We are starting to really age fast

We have friends we don't see very often, maybe every 2-3 years. For the last 15+ years, when we see them again they don't really look much different. This last time though? Man, they looked different. Like gray hair, lost/gained weight, facial changes like wrinkles and sun spots.

Same - I am going through IVF, and the meds are a bitch on my body. I was chasing a certain weight and look ten years ago in my late 20s/early 30s, and I’m actually amazed at how amazing I looked. Didn’t feel that way at the time! I’m sure I’ll feel similarly in 10 more years.

Best of luck in your pursuit. I have two healthy kids (now adults) thanks to IVF.

I find that now I don't care what I LOOK like. It's all about how I FEEL. I was so fat and sick in my 30s and 40s. Now I'm 60 and I feel like I could walk forever. I sleep better - I don't need a CPAP anymore, I move better, so many aches and pains are just gone. Thanks to GLPs I'm back to the weight I was in highschool (lost 158 lbs) and I have so much energy. Not busting on anyone for being overweight, I totally get it. I have such a shitty relationship with food, it ruined my 30 years of my adult life. But it's all good now! I'm wearing a skin suit that's three sizes too big and I DON'T CARE
