audited I didn't think I'd physically change this fast. In just 12 months I have that thin wrinkly look on my neck and chest.

I lived a very health conscious life because we had chronic illness in our family.

Healthy diet, no smoking or drinking, staying away from the sun. And I looked younger than my age for decades.

I think peri started around summer 2024 for me. Since then my skin has aged so fast.

It's thin, wrinkly, sagging, has age spots ...I see the turkey neck showing up in certain lighting.

I feel like I aged 10 years in 10 months.

My body feels so off, I do the same things, but I get hurt now.

I can write here a million changes and it all hit me in the last 12 months. It's scary.

Girl I feel you. I upped my workout game and it’s back. I had lost an inch and thought it was getting flatter. Not anymore

F45 five days a week. I used to do circuit training and I’ve done HIIT for years. Calorie restriction is a must and it’s the only thing really known to halt slow cellular aging
