Well today I am 38. Starting to feel old

jjcj · 04-18-2005, 05:54 AM

I really want this to work this time and get down to my goal.
I have my first appointment today for a breast reduction.
Not sure why but feel the need to do something with my hair as well.
Anyone do drastic things around their bday?
I am off for 2 days as well so think of all the trouble I can get into.
Hubby is off with me so I guess today we will go for lunch.

Had a few kids at work tell me they didn't think I was that old ha ha so that felt good
Don't plan on any cheats as that would just defeat my purpose but do plan to have a good steak or something special like that.
The sun is shining spring has sprung ( finally )and I am going to have a great day today in the warm temps

And best of luck on your journey, try to remember 38 is just a number..
You're only as young as you feel..I'll be 37 this Dec. so I understand, but I refuse to feel or act "old"..

I am just a juvenile at heart..
And I know lots of people who make changes at certain ages..I guess I'm not one of them, the only thing I've done is dye my hair..

Take care..

I just turned 49 and am feeling better than ever. Age is just a number....and sometimes a really good excuse to be lazy, so birthday's are usually when I make my 'new year's' resolutions.

Many, many more good years ahead. Take good care of yourself and your health and you won't feel old.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY...

And I know how you feel -- I'll be 37 tomorrow.

Me, Me, Me. Got my hair chopped off really short and I LOVE IT! Color my hair, get a tattoo...you know, little stuff.

Ah...now I could do some pretty drastic stuff with dh and no kids. LOL

And you are NOT old. You're only TWENTY-EIGHTEEN.

You're not old at all, enjoy your b-day! I always enjoy a big steak on my b-day, too.

I want a spiral perm for my 43rd b-day in June.

I'll be turning 38 next month. People are always telling me since I've lost 100+ pounds that I look like I'm in my 20's. My next door neighbor saw me walking down the street with my 17-year old son a few weeks ago and she told me from a distance, she thought I was my son's girlfriend that I looked that young and thin (giggle). That comment made my day! I have colored my hair (blond highlights) and in two weeks my stylist is adding some gold accents to the blond. I would never have done stuff like this before.

I wonder if it has something to do with getting close to the big 4-0 or just feeling so good about myself since losing this weight.

navywife2jeff · 04-18-2005, 11:18 AM

I just turned 36 on the 12th. I feel a bit old as well... but I injured my shoulder in a volleyball game and I am having it surgically repaired this Wednesday. I have a positive outlook though and am ready to lose the rest of my weight and I am looking forward to feeling younger than my number.
Take care,

I just turned 37 in March. I had a hard time with it. My dad gave me a book by John Eldredge called "Waking the Dead". It helped me put some things in perspective. I also got motivated to get this weight off once and for all before I turn 38. Just learning to find some satisfaction with the life that I do have has been my goal since then. No, didn't end up where I thought I would, but you know what, the stuff I've been through has made me the person I am today. Being a single mom, being overweight, different things I've gone through have given me a new sympathy for those around me in the same situation. Being able to help others through when I can, makes it worth it all.
