What part of your body do you dislike now you're older ?

I eat healthy food and I do plenty of walking and exercise. No problem with me and I don't hate myself. Actually, I'm pretty glad to be up and about. Almost everyone that I grew up with are dead. Me, I'm planning my next trip.
 

I will say the hair thing is making me crazy. The weight gain, the wrinkles etc. not a problem. I just want my hair or maybe @hollydolly could give me hers!!

I will say that I have noticed that aging of my face has really increased the last six months. I think this is from lack of and messed up sleep patterns.

lol..it's my hands I hate..you can have them, but not my hair... :ROFLMAO:

Seriously tho' you're probably right about the lack of night time sleeping that could be causing your rapid ageing.. :confused: it happens to Night shift workers a lot according to several studies I've read..

I was just thinking... I really have ugly hands. It's not a new thing it's just got much worse over the years. I didn't think it was possible for them to get even uglier, but they have..I inherited my paternal grandmothers' working hands.. , and they are just really horrible now with age.. OA .. and now loose skin which takes about 20 minutes to bounce back when you pinch it.. oh, ok.. 20 seconds.. but hey..it's a long time.. what happened to springing back instantly.. ?.. anyway they're UGLY!!...:rolleyes: I'm going to start wearing gloves everywhere I go like the Queen..:sneaky:

What about you what part of your body do you really dislike.. and try to hide.. ?

My midsection. I can't eat whatever I want because when I do, it gets bigger. I have to eat right, turn down the foods I really want in order to make it go down in size so my pants fit better. And the doctor is happier about my BMI. I have found a lotion that makes my lines not so apparent and I love that. When wrinkles are so visible, I looked for a cream that would work. Found it. ROC line smoother.

Do these "deleted" messages mean deleted by the person posting or by the moderator?

It means that the poster edited their own post, if Matrix deleted it, it would be gone.

Edit: on some forums users can only edit, but not delete their own posts. Some choose to leave their original words and use strike out tags to show their changed post. Example: I meant to say this ->->-> I now mean to say that.

Gotta say I don't really mind that my hair is mostly white/gray, but the texture has just gone to sh!t. I keep it short so I don't look ....mangy.

I deal by growing it just long enough to pull back (usually into a ponytail).

Appearance wise, I used to dislike certain parts of my body, but not any more. I do cover certain parts so others won't hate on them.

I only wish some parts worked better.

No, not for free, but for $25, plus a $5 tip. I know it sounds like a lot and some of the guys I talk to said I should get the same tools she uses and do my own. I have no problems reaching, I have issues with the cutting because for whatever reason, 2 toenails on one foot and 3 toenails on another foot have double thick nails. I have no idea what causes it, but I find them very difficult to clip. She (the Podiatrist) uses a tool like a small pair of pliers and cuts them and then uses a sanding board to get them smooth. It takes her a good 20 minutes at each visit. My first visit, she even polished my nails, but I told her not to do that.
 
The OP's intent was obviously not meant for internal body issues that all seniors increasingly need to deal with like presbyopia. But rather external visual or mechanical. For this person, I've lost many of my back teeth. At least those teeth in front allow a normal aesthetic appearance. Can only chew tougher foods on one side where I have bridge/crowns. Remember how Mark Wahlberg moves around with a rock musician style in the 2001 movie Rock Star?

During the pandemic lockdown I was letting it grow long, but then I decided that it just didn't look all that swell, so I went back to a # 2 on the sides and a #6 on top.

I don't have to worry about the top, just use a razor if I see any fuzz, but I wore the rest of it in a pony tail for quite a while, especially while we lived up in the hills. And I always wore a hat, so you'd have to know me pretty well to know the pony tail was it...that's all there was.

I started losing my hair after I had the first surgery on my back. I was 36 or-7, so I've never been sure if it was natural loss or the drugs.
