Turning 28 in a month and in the past year everything has gotten drastically worse.

Is this just a normal part of aging or am I unlucky? I mean I am almost 30 but it just seemed kind of sudden idk.

Like for example my varicose veins have gotten exponentially worse this year, I feel like my skin is sagging a lot over my whole body, and I feel like I’ve lost muscle mass, like significantly. To be fair I wasn’t as active as usual but in other similar situations I was never looking this way.

Doctors said I’m fine btw. I’m just so exhausted and it’s depressing seeing this shit.

    When you’re younger, all it takes to be healthy is just to not do a lot of unhealthy stuff. Around 30, health becomes something to upkeep. You need to eat healthier and exercise regularly. Good enough is no longer enough.

      Yeah I noticed the only people who don’t look bad for their age are pretty much obsessive with their diets and exercise, or just have freak genetics

        It’s not that hard to eat better and work out. After a couple weeks it becomes routine.

          It’s not hard but personally, as a habit based person, it was VERY hard to start. But like you said, once the routine starts, you’ll hate yourself for not doing it lol
