At what age or stage of your life did you feel like the best version of yourself, both physically and mentally, and why?

I don't think of it in terms of bests and worsts. Healthy people grow and change and leave some things behind.

Dylan: “Those early songs were almost magically written. Well, you can’t do something forever. I did it once, and I can do other things now. But, I can’t do that.”

I'm doing a PhD now. If I had done it when I was 22 it would have been more math and at a top 10 US school. But I've done other things. I worked. Raised children. Good children. And when I approach a PhD now its all about what can I do that is interesting and useful, rather than what can I do that will launch me into an academic career that I don't really want, and I guess never really wanted enough to do it when I was younger.

That probably makes no sense at all... but it wouldn't be the first time I've typed nonsense on this site.

[ElenaLena]

Definitely not nonsense 🙂

Right now! Shortly after joining GAG I decided that I was over socializing and other people were the source of most of my issues. I resolved to be solitary for a year.

I am more stoic and more emotionally regulated now and see no reason to stop being solitary. GAG has been very good for me in terms of seeing how people think and thinking of how I should think..

Two years on I am a better version of myself in many ways.

[ElenaLena]

Apparently gags has some benefits after all 😄

[RavVid]

It has had for me. :)

[queenofcardio]

So many good moments, but I feel like my best is truly yet to come. I'm excited and hopeful for my future, whatever that might look like

[ElenaLena]

The best of luck to you 😊

[queenofcardio]

Thank you, I appreciate it 🙏🏻

[ElenaLena]

You’re welcome 🤗

[FunkyMonkee]

Most of the past 25 months! Thank, mostly, to a VERY special "little girl" that I love SOOOOOOO VERRRRRY MUCH! I was already pretty good but she made me even better!! I love you, sweetheart!!!

[ElenaLena]

Who is that 🙂

[FunkyMonkee]

She WAS my fiance. I can only hope that she will be again, soon!! I just DON'T understand how someone who's got the greatest replationship they've ever had, one they've been looking for all their lives, can just throw the whole thing away once they finally get it JUST BECAUSE THEY don't think they're good enough for their lover!!! If their lover has no issue with them, there's NO POINT AT ALL to break up with them over it!!!

[Simslover92]

Mentally... now
Physically...24
But I'm doing something I've never done before which is train for a 5k marathon so arguably it might be 35 next year.

[ElenaLena]

That’s amazing.. best of luck 😊🫶🏻

[Simslover92]

Thank you! 😊

When I was 27 or 28. I was benching 300 pounds and could run a 26 mile marathon in a little more than 3 hours. I had gone back to college and was doing well and i was married with two kids and was having a new house built.

[ElenaLena]

That sounded very nice..

[exitseven]

Yes, now i have two fake hips and a cranky shoulder.

[DryGermanGuy]

Do you think your hips problems were directly related to your running sport?

[exitseven]

@DryGermanGuy yes, I was really too heavy for the sport and it was only through insane training that I got good at it.

[Nikki1989]

My life continues to improve year after year, so I still do not believe I have reached my peak.

[douride2]

Physically & mentally the best years of my life was 25 to 35 years of age.

[ElenaLena]

So.. I still have a chance 😄

[Pedromanx2]

I'm actually better than I was before.

Twenty-five though 55 because, though obese, I was ox-strong and still handsome despite the excess weight.
