If you could change one thing about yourself....

Yuffie said: "[QUOTE=Charity]w00t to the hyper kidz!!!11one I get that way at work all the time when everyone else is hyper. It makes things kinda fun.![/QUOTE] Woot! See my problem is I'm VERY ADD but not ADHD... I wish I was more hyper but I need to get my priorities straight!! Wahahaha!"

Yuffie said: "Hm... I'd make myself even MORE hyper to the point where I'd WANNA workout! *laughs*"

Megan said: "hmmmm Its hard to say. There are of course several small things. I guess things that are not that important. I guess right now I would say to lose weight and get toned as well. I can do something about this though and I am really trying to. Once I do this, I guess I will see what other thing about myself I would like to change that can be changed and work on it. I guess I should do it all at once but im no good at multi tasking. lol I should probably work on that!"

Heather said: "Wow.. lots of good replies here. I'm not sure what I would change. If I changed something I wouldn't be me! As for "the weight" I've got the power to change that with some hustle.."

Darren said: "What would it be? And why can't you can change it?"

spectrachic311 said: "Yeah, no kidding...I have broad shoulders and I love 'em. I can wear lots of clothes that would look weird on me if I had really tiny shoulders. Plus, you can get away with having bigger hips! They don't show up as much :) Now, as far as capri pants go, those are definitely still out of the question for me. Unless I get to change the length of my legs...I got cursed with my Gramma's legs (but so did my cousin, so I feel somewhat better, lol)."

spectrachic311 said: "I used to want bigger boobs too, since mine are also tiny. But the more I think about it, the more I like my small boobs. I can run and jump rope and do all sorts of stuff without them flopping around. And when I want to go braless, I can. There is always the WonderBra. I have one and I also have those inserts (chicken cutlets, they call them), which are MIRACLES. Actresses in Hollywood use them all the time (hey, you don't think most of those skinny actresses have REAL boobs, do you? :) )"

spectrachic311 said: "I'd change the length of my legs. They are too short. I can't change them because that would probably be impossible unless I had some sort of bizarre surgery. I'd also make myself more patient and a little more assertive. Also, I'd make myself less of a control freak. Other than that, I'd say I'm pretty happy with myself. :)"

badbrat2005 said: "i would change my patience with my two year old for one.:angry: also, i would like to change my body so i could be happier."

ExManiac said: "Completely superficial, but I would love slim upper arms, perfect teeth and victoria's secret model boobs! Wait... I only get one thing?? :D Honestly, about myself, I wish I was more of a people person sometimes. I'm envious of people who have that natural ability to connect with other people."

DBrew said: "I would change my boobs too. I want boobs and I have none. I have two kids but no boobs! Very sad ,very very sad. I also would love long legs! But there are many things to be thankful for so its not the end of the world I do not have those things."

DBrew said: "Yes I guess there are some advantages. Thanks for the pro smallie talk, Spectra."

klynnfosh said: "If I could have my wish for any one thing it would not be material or to change something for myself it would be to insure happiness for my two boys in the future! Guess that is impossible to do! As for myself I want to change my weight, and the way I look at myself, and the way I feel! Why I haven't achieved that is emotional issues, family problems, work issues, there is always something that gets me sidetracked. I have made progress though because of this site I am able to refocus and to get re-motivated and try to move in the right direction instead of just giving up altogether."

missred said: "Physically, I would change my "pooch" which is more like a pouch these days! Otherwise, I would like to be able to remember things better, pay better attention and not be so, well ADD. I think my life would be a lot easier. But sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for..."

Gymgoddess said: "i would love my self....not beat myself up about my weight..no continually tell myself how ugly or stupid i am. I have gotten SOOOOOO much better though!! I am happier right now then i have been in a looooong time!! I just wish i could stay that way!!"

HDales said: "I would change my nail biting bad habit. Its something I do when I am in deep though, when I get nervous, during an intense movie.. etc.. The worst is at work though if I am stuck on a coding problem and I am concentrating so hard on it. Nothing I have tried has worked.. I've started wearing bandaids around my thumbs to remind myself not to.. haha.. since I always seems to start biting my thumb nails first. I want to be able to have nice hand and nails and I want to be able to go spend 40 bucks on a manicure.. haha.. I'm not really a severe case, I don't chew them so I only have a tiny bit of nail on my finger. that would just be painful... I will let them get longish.. but for some reason I just can't let them get past the stage where it looks like I just clipped them.. Maybe the bandaids will do the trick.. here's to hoping!"

cyndarella said: "Someone mentioned this recently on a post and I think that this would be the first thing I'd change. I need to stop comparing myself, my life, and my circumstances with everyone else. It's damaging. I don't know that it's something I [I]can't[/I] change, but I know that there's a whole lot involved & behind why I do this. Self-esteem, self-doubt, etc... etc..."

angel_rising said: "I would get rid of scars on my face from a dog bite. I have tried the creams but they can only do so much. Unless I could suddenly affored to get plastic surgery the scars will remain. Oh Well. I still am happy with myself so it does not really matter. Angel"

TigerLilly said: "[FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]i would change my body and be more petite cuz I'm 5'7 and have wide shoulders :D i find it difficult to buy long sleeved clothes or even long dresses :S but maybe if I'm petite with a very high metabolism, I'll be from those people who can eat what ever they want and still be very skinny and i could wear heals as much as i want :D [/SIZE][/FONT]"

mahesh67 said: "Broad shoulders can be useful for many things...like heavy lifting! :th_dblthumb2: :laugh:"

mahesh67 said: "I agree. I am sorta anti-sociable at times. :wave:"

mahesh67 said: "[QUOTE=help6363]I would change my moods. I would love to be one of those people that was HAPPY all the time. Instead, I am a bit of a crabby cow! :wave:[/QUOTE] You can change your mood! Turn frown upside down :th_dblthumb2:"

mahesh67 said: "That really puts things in perspective for me."

mahesh67 said: "Thats terrible news Charity."

freestyler said: "Wow a poweful thread... Cinderella 19ib lost! well done you're well on target aren't you :) and Klinnfosh almost half way, that must be so exciting! Angel - what a great attitude to have, you must be a lovely person. If I could change just one thing... It would be my 'get up and go' I think. I'm someone that starts something like a new idea for a business or something, and am 2000% motivated about it for about two days and then it just fades into the periphery. My motivation is partly material, but more from the point of view of being able to provide for those that I care about, I have a one year old niece and I'd love to be in a position that I could support her and her mum a bit when she's about ten. I'd also of course love to change my weight! But the post was for 'one thing' - I guess I'll cheat here - and say the one thing i'd like to change is my 'ability to create' - There are many things i'd like to create in my life. Fitter more athletic body, a more successful lifestyle, a less concerned with other people perspective, ... an altogether more together and satisfying future! The one thing with all of this is that I'm lucky as all of this is doable - given the right frame of mind and patience. Now and again someone says something or I hear of something that just makes me realise how insignificant most of my 'problems' really are. An example happened to me yesterday when someone I had recently met in conversation just happened to mention that they were getting back together now after loosing their young son. Well it's time like that, that really get you. And shake you. And make you count your blessings. I think it's all a matter of perspective. Every second is an eternal gift and for that although there's a lot I would change in my life - I think the one thing i'd like to keep is a sense of perspective - and I hope that whenever I think of something that i'd like to change - I can remember this, and count my blessings!"

John_KY said: "I would change my tendency to worry about things I can't change and make myself more motivated to move on with the things I can effect. As to why I haven't done this yet: I think part of it may be hardwired into my psyche as a human being. Another part may be deeply ingrained in my habits. Never to late to change they say. So I keep pushing at it. John"

helena_brisbane said: "i really hope this is not taken the wrong way, but i wish i had had my kids later in life. dont get me wrong, i love them to death and i wouldnt want them to be any different, but i wish i had not been so desperate to have children so young, and to be so stupid as to believe that a baby would fill the void in my life and fix everything. now that i know better i went back to school and then to university, but it is soooo hard to do things with kids. i wish i had studied first and got a career and put 100% into that and then had a family and put 100% into that. but i stuffed things up and now if i want a career and a family i can only put 50% into each and i am left feeling guilty both ways and not being able to do my best at either. does that make sense? i went from school to mother, i just wanted children as soon as possible and i thought that would be my life and my 'calling'. now that i go to university and see other young people i realise all the things i could have done and experience before having children. But don't get me wrong, i love my kids with all my heart, i just wish i could be a better mother AND follow my other dreams, but you cant be one without sacrificing the other :("

Charity said: "I had to give up my kid, which KILLS me every day. I don't feel like I'm following any dreams at all yet, but I gave him up so he could follow his. There is no dream that's better than right in front of you. Now is the only existance. You can live any dream now. You can learn alot about following dreams from watching your own children. Think of it as two good things in one!"

Charity said: "Small boobs are awesome! I wish I had 'em, my surgery is just a lift, with no implants. I had no boobs when I was 80 lbs, but that's no good for me. I wanna be healthy and have the 16 year old boobs again!"

Charity said: "w00t to the hyper kidz!!!11one I get that way at work all the time when everyone else is hyper. It makes things kinda fun.!"

Charity said: "My boobs. After having a child and my body being stretched and whatnot, they are, ummm, not 16 anymore. I gave my kid up to have a much better life(looooong story) so I don't want the body of a mom and no baby to show for it. I'm saving for the lifting surgery, as well as the scar removal. My boyfriend is behind me, but doesn't think it's nescessary. But this is for me, not for him anyways. I just wanna feel good."

help6363 said: "Okay... I will try to be not so moody!!!! :laugh: Have a great day Cheers Michelle :wave:"

lakelady said: "Lilly, ARE YOU NUTS????? The fashion industry spends MILLIONS sewing shoulder pads into all their classiest womens suits and dresses, so the women who wear them can look like you do naturally! (PLEASE change your handle!)"

pinky said: "if i could change one things it wud have to be my moods. i let people affect them sometimes. well most times. i sort of feed of other peoples reactions n stuff. if people are on a downer then i tend to be. just wud like to alter my mood and not let people affect my life."

Pete45 said: "I would change my disability, can't because it is permanent. My legs are very weak, and as such, I can hardly do more than walk. I would love to run!"
