15 mistakes everyone made in their twenties

6. Over-Indulgence

In your twenties, if you have a mind to, you can find all manner of delicious things to eat. Unfortunately you also learn the hard way that your metabolism doesn’t quite kick in the way it used to and your gut is getting rather round-looking. It’s terrible, especially because you were getting pleasantly used to washing your meals down with frozen mudslides. Who could have known that liquid had calories?

Weaning off these habits and learning that excessive intake of anything has consequences is tough. You have to make a concentrated effort as you age to stay away from all things dipped in other things and then fried. You have to close your mind to the allure of that kebab truck at midnight, glaring at you like a desert mirage.
