Not easy at first, but worth it in the long run. There's a huge difference between 35 and 45 for sure.

You don't know that. I started lifting when i was 30 and over the last two years ive been going for strength and size. The compliments are always nice and I feel great. I think it is a mentality and a lot of people seem to "give up" or let their body dictate how they feel in regards to being tired or motivated. When really, they can.
There's nothing wrong with throwing in an unhealthy diet with a healthy one. We are all going to die regardless of what we eat, anyway. People want to prolong their lives but dead is dead and with what we have in our food nowadays cancer is almost unavoidable.
People worry about eating perfect but yet they get cancer and someone who smokes 100 packs of cigs a day is healthy in their 80s. I understand this goes both ways; Life is a bitch. Enjoy it for what it is.
