Speaking from someone who has not even reached middle age, yet, I have to disagree. I exercise, every day. I belly dance for an hour and a half 5-6 days a week, walk about 15 miles a week, lift weights, and still, I am not as small as I was when I was 20. Age slows down your metabolism. It’s not really fair, but there comes a time that you can’t really expect to wear a size 5, any more. I really don’t see myself as fat, considering I am in better shape than anyone else I know, but I am definitely not a kid, anymore.

Sorry, just my 2 cents.

Speak for yourself, Fox, not for others. While Fox is to be commended for much, his generalizations on the maturation process leave much to be desired. Sure, we all get wrinkles and thinning hair, but not all of us succumb to allowing fat to just grow and hang about. Some of us do exercise to keep fit, both physically and mentally, regardless of the age.

angelstar seems to have said it best in observations noted of those that do care, and those that use age as an another excuse for slacking off.
