When should I start feeling old?

[expat]

I'm 44 and still free pretty young. My body is simply not keeping up with the reality in my head.

I do free weights, swimming and skiing. When I first started doing weights (mainly to protect my neck from slipped disks - see the "worst pain" thread), after a couple of weeks the muscles in my arms, neck and shoulder had toned up wonderfully. As has already been said, being physically fit feels *good*.

Having said that, once you reach a certain age, if you wake up in the morning and something doesn't hurt - then you've died during the night.

Sounds amusing but I respectfully disagree. I'm 62 and not sporty but nothing hurts when I wake up. I actually feel in better shape than 30 years ago, it probably isn't literally true but it feels so. Maybe because being lazy appealed to me when I was young, but now keeping moving until I die, or indeed to postpone it, appeals more.

I thought you were younger than that :creep

[NotAllThere]

I think the fact that you had a grown up son made me assume you were more mature in years. Which is very hypocritical, as mine's 28 and I'm 45. ...

But only in years.

Sign the confession and we'll go for the humane burned at the stake option.

46 is the age one starts to feel old apparently ..... well according to my other half who read something in the Wail - so must be true

You're feeling old about the time you fancy a cup of Horlicks at bedtime.
