So I was happy to stumble across this quote in O Magazine that gave me a little perspective:
"People who lie about their age are denying the truth and contributing to a sickness pervading our society - the sickness of wanting to be what you're not. Denial leads to delusion. I know for sure that only by owning who and what you are can you step into the fullness of life."
OK, I don't want to be delusional, so I'll give some thought to Ms. O's take on the whole thing...

I feel this way occasionally, too, and I just focus on the fact that, the older I get, the better I look in relation to my peers. That also has something to do with everyone in this country leaping into obesity. I live in the third most overweight state after all. In a rural area. It's not all that difficult to feel like the sexiest girl in the room. And yes, I realize how unbelievably shallow, insecure, and vain this whole rationale is, but hey, whatever works, sister. Whatever works. ;)
I was going to give you a little comment about how 35 really isn't bad in any way, mind over matter, and I don't even remember 34, but feathernester's comment totally has mine beat!
