@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor I wish I could! Maybe I'll get there I time. The saggy middle bit has happened in under a year, can stress do this?! I don't know what has happened, but feel I have aged over night.

Im not going to be guessing your age... too much pressure on women to be. My neck at 51 is pretty bad now...i hate it
..very aware of it..but...it is what it is. Menopause nearly. My turkey neck seemed to appear over night... you havent got one.

Why are you asking?

It's just your neck and it looks like it's doing a decent job of holding your head on.

Stop picking yourself apart and concentrate on something worthwhile.

I absolutely agree, while I didn't appreciate my lovely smooth neck in my youth I look at my neck now and try and be grateful for it not criticise myself.

Oh my god I just had a good look at mine to compare and didn't like what I saw! You're definitely younger than me, maybe 35?

You are so right! I saw myself in a picture, and it bothered me. I have been under a great deal of stress, death in the family etc. I feel it has aged me in such a short space of time. It seems to be a dramatic change within a year. My husband lies, and tells me it looks fine. I thought I would come on here for honest opinions from people who don't know me.

You might be able to see it better here, thank you for being so kind.

I think about 36/7

Didimum · 17/05/2024 09:42

Late 30s, early 40s.

rumred · 17/05/2024 09:40

Early 40s? It's loads better than my shocker, it crept up on me. But then I'm 59.

I really can’t tell. Younger than mine I think (I’m 43). I originally put 30 but I’m going to say 35. If this is the part of your body you are most worried about I think you must be in pretty good shape.
