Is it normal to miss my teenage body?

Present day I am a 33 year old man. When I was 16/17 I feel like I was in my best shape. I was very good looking, very popular at high school, was the best at any sport I played, dance in parties, dated the hottest girls in my class and wasn't over burdened with responsibilities that I am today. Today I am become kinda fat, cant hardly get a date or do many things I could do as a teen like climbing trees and have a permanent back pain and am diabetic. Ofcourse it is possible to be in good shape in my 30s, and even later in my life (we live in a age where 80 year olds can win marathons). But what I could never have back is my good looking slim teenage figure and all the fun stuffs a teenager enjoy (I still find teenage girls attractive, but its completely immoral and unethical to engage in relation with them, let alone dance with them something I used to enjoy so much). Also many activities I do now were much easier to do as a teenager, staying fit as a teenager is far easier than staying fit at later age.

Now what I really miss is my teenage body, not my teenage self. I know how arrogant and stupid teenagers are, and I was no different. I did extremely stupid and hateful stuffs that I truly regret ad can never forgive myself for them. I would never want the mind of a teenager again and never have to engage in the stupidities I did back then. But if it only were possible to return to my teenage body of 16/17 with my present mindset and knowledge of the world along with all the degrees I have earned ad stay that way for the rest of my life (never physically aging past 17, but aging only mentally), then life would truly be wonderful.

    You and the rest of the planet. Why else do you think Cortez was looking for the fountain of youth?

      Don't you mean Ponce de Leon? Why do you think old geezers love Florida so much?

    I think a lot of men are very attractive in their 30s and many look even better than they did when they were younger.

    There's no reason a guy in his 30s can't have a slim/lean figure, it might take just a bit more work than when you were a teen/in your 20s.

    Is more fun the older you get. For men at least.

    I feel the same way sometime, but there are many things enjoyable with being a man, so move on bro.

    Normal I would say. I was in my best shape and condition at 19 or 20.

    Learn to laugh it off. Much younger friends saw a photo of me at age 18 and they said "that's not you!". I had glorious hair, lost "best-looking" by two votes. Now I'm bald with age spots. The mirror is a laugh riot. Without a sense of humor you face a miserable existence!

    The kids who were athletic and cool as teenagers always seem to end up fucked by their 30s!

    I can't relate, due to being 19. It'll be a few years until I can see what you mean.

    I think that you are completely normal. People want to be younger. That's life I'm afraid
