I'm in my early 40s, and up until a couple of years ago could pass as being under 30! I'm very active so also have quite a sporty physique. The parent that goes trampolining or rock climbing with her kids rather than sitting at the side drinking coffee and eating cake type of person! But I hit 42 and something happened. My…
