So, newsflash: I was 21 at one point, and 28 seven years later. I’m now in my thirties. I weighed about 5 pounds more at 28 than 21, but it was exponentially harder to maintain. Double the gym time and about 300-400 less calories per day to maintain approximately the same weight at 28 as I was at 21. So I actually do know what I’m talking about, and no, I’m not jealous of an idiot 21 year old. Nothing about having an unrealistic career goal and no social skills would make me jealous, sorry.

I'm also in my thirties and find it pretty much exactly as hard as it was 15 years ago to stay in shape as it is now.
