    My divorce. We could've worked it out, but I was hurt and angry.

    Mine would have been not changing how I eat a long time ago. I miss my gallbladder and not having stomach problems. I miss having energy and feeling healthy.

    Not having made better education choices. I squandered a university education by becoming an administrative "professional" when what I have always wanted to do is to be a counsellor. I should have worked harder and made different choices when I had the chance. Now I am tied up in family and financial obligations and going back to school isn't really an option (oh yeah, and I am old...)

    Wish I wouldn't have taken so much *kitten* from bullies.
    Wish I would have made my fitness a high priority sooner in life.
    Wish I had been able to see the Beastie Boys live.

    Getting married young!! I wish I would have spent my 20's figuring out who I was.

    Regrets...I've had a few, but then again too few to mention.

    No regrets. That being said there are a few things in my past that I look back on and think "wow! What was I thinking?". But everything that has happened to me, good or bad, has led me to where I am today.

    This! I didn't marry young but I met my now husband when I was 17. I wish I would have truly found myself before I found him.

    I really regret not opening my eyes to the reality in front of me. The truth has always been there but i just didnt see it. If only I had known then what I know now, my life would be so different. Closer to what I want it to be.
    Youth is wasted on the young.

    Not keeping my weight loss off the first time. I had extenuating circumstances but I just gave up for a while and now I'm paying for it.

    DITTO.
    Think there might be more expletives in my version though!

    Duh. Forgot my biggest regret. My giant tattoo that I got when I was in a very bad state of mind. I broke my own personal rule of waiting a year to think about a design before getting it and it was a huge mistake. I've spent a lot on having it removed but the process is very painful. My aesthetician just got a new way of removal that's way less painful so I'm hoping it will go much more quickly now.

    I regret not taking care of my health earlier in life. Both mental and physical. Never too late, right?
