When you turned 25........

When you turned 25........

Did your face/body/metabolism change?

I was looking at a pic when I was 21 and I look like a baby... not to mention a bit 'thinner' than I am now- even though it is probably only 10-15 I feel like my whole program changed.

Also now I feel like I REALLY have to watch what I eat and work out on a regular basis to not gain weight (nevermind lose it) I'm 27 now I can only imagine what's going to happen to me when I hit my thirties!

eta: Skin problems? Never had these either when I was a teenager.

I think I have been in reverse puberty since I turned 25 in August. Suddenly my face breakouts all the time and I have the worst cramps ever. I wish I had this when i was in high school and everyone else had it too. At least then I could go to the nurse and be sent home early. I can't exactly call out of work crampy. Let's not even talk about the grey hairs Lastly when I was 21 I thought I was huge now I would give anything to fit into those jeans (I still have them, a girl can dream )

Re: When you turned 25........

Ah, to be 25 again. That was 16 years ago.........

I didn't notice any changes until my late 30's.
My skin is not as glowing and clear as it once was, so now I have to exfoliate more often but with a gentle product. Also, I started getting some brownish spots on my face, like freckles, but that can also be from BC. I used to have a porcelain complexion, never wore foundation until I was 28.

No wrinkles though, my mom didn't have any until her mid 60's, so I have to thank genetics for that.

I'm starting to get the face droop, where the eyes start to sink into their sockets and the checks are moving towards my bellybutton. Boobs are trying to get there first.
Butt drop is being kept in check with lots of walking.

Words of wisdom - stay out of the sun and out of tanning beds. I wish I heeded that advice when I was younger. I am starting to notice the sun damage on my chest. It is also very freckled and is not so smooth anymore. I also exfoliate my chest.

eta : I accept all of this as part of growing older gracefully. I can't be 25 forever, and T-G for hair dye. I'm 41 and I think I look darn good.

Wow, so funny that you mentioned this. I was just talking to DH about this the other day. 2 years ago one of my friends got married and that day I got all dolled up looked into the mirror, turned to DH and said 'I look different' he thought about it for a second and I think he understood what I meant. I looked at myself and saw a different person. I was a WOMAN. My face had changed. My body had changed. I had noticed it for the first time then. I had turned 25 3 months before the wedding. I think that was the point in my life where I said I wasn't 'a little girl' anymore.
My entire self went into a transformation. It was really incredible! Things just aren't the way they used to be before I turned 25. I am 27 now too!
Who knows what the 30's will bring!!! lol

Re: When you turned 25........

I didn't start noticing a change until after I had my son 2 years ago. I was very lucky, I was always able to maintain my shape w/ minimal exercise but those days are gone!!! And it goes right to my behind, hips and thighs!! I have also noticed the laugh lines arouns my eyes. I'm a maniac about sunscreen and trying to keep out of the sun. oh yeah, I'll be 35 next month.

Re: When you turned 25........

i would say that i noticed more changes when i hit 27. my metabolism slowed down and i found my first gray hair!ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

i'll be 28 in April and i freak out when i think about the changes that will continue to occur!
i am going to try to take control of the aging process.

Re: When you turned 25........

If i could have my body from when i was 25 i'd be ecstatic!!! I was thin...had good skin and hardly any wrinkles!! For me 30 is when i noticed changes....harder to lose weight...my puffy wrinkly eyes look like i never sleep and i have worse acne than i did in HS...turning 35 in a few weeks and fighting hard to get back to my 25 yr old body!

Re: When you turned 25........

The biggest change for me was my metabolism and my cycle. I had to go on BC to try to weaken the cramps and it's helped a fair amount. But the inability to lose weight has been the biggest challenge.

Re: When you turned 25........

Re: When you turned 25........

When i was like 21 still fitting into my size nothing clothes.. My SIL said to me ' wait Penny and see when u turn 23 ur body will just change'
I swear i was 23 and a day and my jeans didnt fit over my big a$$ hips anymore.
So in answer to ur ? Callan. YES everythign started to change as i got older. Once upon a time i could eat like the whole menu at McDonalds for lunch and then still be hungry around dinner. NOW??? i eat a big breakfast and it goes right to my butt!

Re: When you turned 25........

I'm 28 now, and have DEFINITELY noticed a weight gain, in some pictures I think I look like I have 3 chins, I have to take exercising and eating right much more seriously now, can't get away w/ eating junk whenever you want. DH though, his metabolism is still so high despite the fact he's almost 33. damn those men!

Re: When you turned 25........

Re: When you turned 25........

I definitely noticed changes. I used to have a really young looking face too, but now I notice some wrinkles popping up. I also gained about 15 pounds. The worst though is that I'm starting to notice cellulite. I didn't think that would show up for another decade or so!!!
