Just when you start figuring out the mistakes and bad choices you made as a kid, and getting really prepared to live and enjoy life, the old clock starts trying to shut you down. Inside I feel like I'm maybe 25, or 30 at most. When you feel young, vital and enthusiastic, it's really rotten when life starts handing you wrinkles, sags, bulges,aches and pains. I made a conscious choice to go out kicking and screaming, grabbing on to every shred of youth I can muster. I can't condemn someone else for their liposuction or facial nips and tucks.
Cosmetic surgery is a public service .
You know, transsexuals describe sex-change surgery in terms of correcting a mistake of nature, and bringing their exterior bodies back into line with their inner identity and self image. Plasticsurgery is not so different. If a doctor's scalpels, sutures and lasers can make my outsides match up with what I see before I look into the mirror, that doctor is a hero in my book. And when age starts trying to wrest control over your body away, working out and staying active keeps the ball in your court. You can set your goals as modestly or as outrageously as you choose, but you definitely have it in you to achieve them.
