When I was 25, some Korean ajushi (middle-aged man) told me a similar analogy - he said I was Christmas cake and that as soon as I turned 26, I'd be stale. I was SO offended. My peak was 25.

@Mrs. Cowgirl: Forgot to mention. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!! Hope you're doing something fabulous for your birthday!

@Mrs. Cowgirl: Happy Birthday!

That Christmas tree analogy is really sad and @Rubies Christmas cake one is awful!

I think I peaked just before I got pregnant last year at 29. I was in the best shape of my life, eating well and taking really good care of myself. I did have bad acne on my forehead but other than that I think I looked pretty good! I just got bangs again and I am loving my hair these days but I wish I had my old body back. Then I'd say I'm peaking now!

Well, I'm 25 now and unless you have a pregnancy fetish, I am definitely not at my physical peak right now at 37 weeks pregnant. I peaked at 20 but have big plans for a renaissance of that look post baby

I don't think I've peaked yet

Uh 19. I was so skinny and still had my D boobs. Hot. I plan to get back to that size after I pop this kid out. I can do it!!

When I was 20!

Now at 24 I feel frumpy after baby.

I'm hoping my peak is yet to come.

@Mrs. Cowgirl: Happy, happy birthday!

I'd say my peak was 28 - 31. I was so fit and healthy, working out 5 - 6 days per week, and it paid dividends. I was in AMAZING shape (yet still thought I was fat, go figure), had copious amounts of energy, luminous skin, and never needed to worry about make up in order to look good (good being a relative term of course).

Now at 33, I don't feel too different, but the circles under the eyes show up pretty easily and my skin doesn't have the radiant look it had before. I still don't wear much make up but I tend to look a bit tired and washed out so I'm trying to use it a bit more when we go out. I don't think I'll ever get back to that same level of fitness but I'm working out again now post-baby and am pretty happy with where I'm at now.

Hopefully I haven't peaked yet!

@Mrs. Cowgirl: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As far as my peak? I hate to say it, but 25. I was exercising a lot, DH and I were planning the wedding, I wasn't working full-time yet (still in college, I took what I like to call the "scenic route";) and had time to really keep myself put together. These days I'm lucky if I get out of the house with concealer and mascara on...and no baby poop! I was actually in the best physical shape of my life right before we got preggers, I was running about 10-15 miles/week and doing some light weights to just get toned. Now my belly is a jello mold and my double chin is just...ick. One of these days I'll get back out there................

I'd say right after college, when I started my first job. I felt attractive and got the most attention at that time in my life. I still didn't appreciate it enough though - I recently looked at some pictures of myself from that time and I was like, 'Woah! Why didn't I know how good I looked!'

@babyjmama: Haha, exactly!

Ha! This is interesting. I think I peaked in my mid-twenties--I was tan, blonde and had killer legs from running around all the time at work.

I still like the way I look, but now I can't get any sun (my punishment for too much tanning --> bad moles) so I'm pale and I have to wear glasses because in the past I always left my contacts in too long and got corneal scarring. Gross!

Definitely when I was 22.

I feel like my peak is right now @ 25. I hope it stays or gets better. haha.

Wishful thinking, I think!

I don't know if I peaked yet...I would say in the past year (30-31) I've really settled into my own style and been happy with myself. And I think I'm a pretty hot pregnant lady. We'll see how I feel after I pop this kid out.
