What part of your body are you shocked by now that you are older?

Older can be any age. You can be 20 years old and answer this question.

I’m moving into my late 40’s and I am shocked by how big my boobs are and how big my thighs are. Mostly, it is because I need to lose 10–15 pounds, but some of it might be hormonal or diet changes that affect where fat sits in the body, I don’t know.

I also didn’t expect to have so many problems with my hair, which is thinner, dryer, and falls out more than I would have anticipated, even though I never had thick hair per se.

Lastly, when I was young my lips were so read I couldn’t wear pink lipsticks without putting foundation on them first to cover the red. I looked like I had lipstick on when I didn’t in old photos when I was very little. Now, my lips are extremely pale, lack of iron is probably the culprit. My mom just called me a day ago to tell me she read a study that showed people low in iron are less likely to get cancer and serious infections. She didn’t want me to overdue the iron I take.
