I too was finding myself into larger pants. Up 3 sizes. Then I took stock of my eating habits and decided to exercise control over my APPETITE. In 5 months I am again down to my former weight and size and feel wonderful! No exercise, no pills, no special diet. Just good food in moderation.

At age 38, I still have a tendency to skip through the house (and occasionally at work, I'm told) and imagine being an athlete, astronaut, and a few other things I wish I were 30 years ago. When making photocopies, I'll "stretch" by imitating a pitcher. I never exactly tried to stop doing that, but I'm trying to give up being embarassed, when I'm caught.
The great thing about having children is that gives me an excuse to watch cartoons again -- not that I ever stopped. And buy toys again. Give my kids a few more years and I'll have grandchildren to do the same with.

Very well written with incredible "insight". Thank you!

I share your experience! I too still feel like a kid, although the calendar says I am 50 years old. This is proving to be a wonderful time.
As part of my gift to myself, I started studying Tanya. Wow is that better than the typical mid life crisis!!!

My moment of knowing I was getting older was at a wedding. I found that I fit in with the circle dancing with one of the mothers, not the bride.
But I still feel like "me". So how do I prevent being old before my time, and yet maintain dignity? I think Chuck might be on to something. I think I'll forget about embarassment, and just be myself.
