    I wish I would have taken better care of my body after the second baby.

    Also, I wish I would have invested in some stock, saved some money and realized my mom was right about everything!

    I wish I would have done more sports in HS instead of band...I only did track & field and band made it practically impossible to do more. I know that would have curbed my obesity for sure, when band seemed to enhance it! I also wish I wouldn't have listened to a jackwagon on becoming a PE teacher. I have been teaching 21 years and been waiting 6 to finally teach PE!

    I wish I would have appreciated my figure back in my teens and twenties. I spent most of those years thinking I was fat. So much angst! lol

    Mine isn't fitness related. Getting into drugs. Worst and dumbest decision I ever made.
    Turned my *kitten* around though.

    I wish I hadn't fallen and hurt my back last year ... and this year, I wish I hadn't fallen and added my ankle to the list of body parts that don't work like they used to.

    I can forget about step aerobics and lifting heavy now. And most cardio and weight classes.

    That I spent six months trying to 'lose weight', going to the gym with my bf and then 'rewarding' ourselves with 2 cumberland farms hotdogs afterwards, or a milkshake... or those weekends of heavy drinking and domino's bacon jalapeno cheesy bread.
    We were sitting around last night, tryna make a small chocolate milkshake and children's size fry fit into our daily allotments and laughing at how dumb we were.

    Yup finances for me too, wish I'd planned ahead. Also wish I'd developed a skill e.g. martial art, art or something cool

    There is always time to learn a new skill, martial arts are fabulous for both your physical health and your spiritual/mental wellbeing...I'd say GO FOR IT!!

    I wish I would have gone to college after high school instead of getting married at 19. It didn't last and now I'm a 33yo working college student.

    I feel better at 46 than I did for most of my 30s and some of my 20s. I get angry with myself sometimes for all the years wasted sitting on a couch.

    If I could go back to my 16yo self I would tell myself, say no to the ex. I'd push college to my 18yo self so I could have been a teen longer. I'd tell her to cut her mom off because waiting until I was 30 leaves me with minor baggage. I'd give her a hug and tell her when she's feeling lonely it's okay, she's alone but never lonely.

    ^^^ I know how you feel. I was curvy and the rest of the girls in high school were sticks so I felt very overweight and self conscious. Now that I'm overweight, I'm actually more comfortable in my own skin (I think it comes with age). I now realize how awesome I looked back in high school. This picture was right after I graduated. jjceziztqfzp.jpg


    This is what I look like now.

    My biggest regret is not being by my grandfather's side when he passed away. I had the option to be there when he went and I chose not be there because I thought it would be too difficult for me. Everyone in my family was by his bedside when he passed except for me. I feel guilty because he was probably wondering where I was and why I wasn't there. He knew how much I loved him, but I feel like I let him down.

    Honestly the 7 years I had to be on a cocktail of 12 pills for my mental disorders.

    I went from 135 lbs to 298 in about a year and a half.. and just stayed toeing the 300 lbs line...

    The meds helped me tremendously, and no doubt without them I'd have not survived... but I regret what it's done to my body majorly.
