Thank you, Dako, that was really inspiring. I suppose part of my problems are my health issues an inability to do things I would like to do, which makes the image in the mirror look much worse. But you are so right, I should stop worrying if I'm good enough for this world – instead, I should ask myself what in this world is good enough for me to enjoy. Thanks

Thanks guys, I missed the deleted post but I'm sorry if I caused problems. Maasikus, one of my problems is that due to old injuries, I can only do very light exercises. But I'm trying. Dako, I'm coping too. Somehow. But is that all we can hope for? Maybe at some point I will admit that I'm old but I still look at it as 'giving up'. I don't want to give up yet, but it seems I'm loosing this battle...

I'll be 43 in a few months. I'm getting old and I'm having really hard time accepting it. More and more wrinkles every day. I'm starting to sag. I'm getting fat much easier that ever. I became an old bag. And there is nothing I can do about it. I always thought, when you pass certain age, you simply accept you are 'old' and don't care how you look any more. But it doesn't work that way. Especially when I catch my husband looking at young perky things. That makes me feel so helpless. The whole situation makes me so feel so depressed. Has anyone else had similar problems?
