What has changed on your body now that you are over 40?

[KnottyAuthor]

I swear I used to have a high booty that stuck out for days!
Now, I look and it's FLAT! What the?......gravity is a powerful force I tell ya!

What has changed on YOU?

This didn't happen when I was 40 but 38 I started getting all kinds of hair growing on my chin and neck and since I turned 40 it has gotten worse.

Yeh, me too....I thought I'd hit ya up with one thing at a time, lol!
Silly me used to think chin hairs were and OPTION and why in the world would women do THAT?
Geez.....
Looking back, 38 was also the start for me. Then, by 40 I couldnt ignore it anymore, sigh.Keeping cute up is turning into hard work! lol!

My metabolism has slowed down but my appetite is still that of a 21 year old, and so the scale numbers go up and up, decided this year to do something about it. Exercise is now longer a luxury its a part of life, junk food is now a part time acquaintaince and no longer a friend. Have to change this apple shape body back to a coke bottle.

Awwh man, don't them hairs just drive you crazy! I told my husband as soon as we get ahead on some money, I'm getting it lasered off! I pluck it today and it's back in two days. What really bothers me is that it's just two long hairs on the chin! Uggggh!!!

I agree with you Denny 100%!!!! I'm all about a healthy lifestyle now (preventative) and the rockin body is just the goods that comes with it.

Starting from the top and working my way down:
- More gray hair (esp. in the last couple of years)
- Bushier eyebrows (I barely HAD eyebrows until I turned 40...then POW!)
- Lines under my eyes (which apparently only I can see; everyone's still raving about how perfect my skin is)
- One (1) chin hair that makes its appearance once every three months or so
- Breasts that still pass the pencil test but aren't as perky as they used to be
- A belly that's not only full (with fibroids) but is also starting to sag a bit; I fear what will happen when (if) I do lose this weight
- Like you, cheleski, a butt that's not as bubbly as it used to be
- A private area that's now about 50% gray

Who was it that said "Getting old ain't for sissies"? lol

LOL oh Ladies ..I was so tickled reading this!

I not only have chin hairs but they are white and appear as soon as I pluck them out!
and I am so in tuned with the gray in the private area...man, Mama didnt tell me there would be days like this!

My eyebrows are no longer thick...I pluck just to keep it clean looking...
if I wasnt so chicken I'd have the tummy tuck...really...

I totally agree with the exercise and healthy eating...
