What happened?

What the hell happened to my body? I guess I have officially hit middle age. Greaaat. When I was younger and sporting a 25 inch waist, my Mom told me when I got to my 40's I'd get 'thick in the middle'. Mom said she never had a small waist, but it just got bigger when middle age set in. I didn't believe her. Stupid girl.
I can deal with the white hair. I found my first one when I turned 21 and my Dad got white early, so that's something I can hang with. Now at 25 to 30% white, my daughter Laura is telling me to let it go. I told her maybe when I'm 50 or become a Grandma. No hurry, Laura or Kristen!
The waist is something else. I've gone back to the gym after being sporadic for a long while. It can't possibly be the wine consumption or the kick ass gourmet meals I make, right?
Mom was right. I'm just getting older. Kicking and screaming all the way.
PS. Mom, at 81, looks great. I hope I look half as good as her when I'm an octogenarian.
PPS. My Mom is always right. I hope I'm half as smart and cool as her when I'm an octogenarian.
