    don't get involved with an ex-squaddie with no home, job or money-sense :sick: 0h, and eat less!!
  • Be absolutely, unflinchingly honest; you may not like it and others may not like it, but it means there is no ambiguity and longer-term heartbreak. White lies are still lies.

    1. Just because his friends dont seem to like you, doesn't mean he doesnt. His dateing you so listen to him and not his mates... (Hard lesson learnt)

    2. You can eat that much and stay slim now, but it will catch up with you in the end, be careful. (Still not quite sinking in)

    Other than those two, I wouldnt change a thing.

    I would say to everyone - Everything in life is a learning curve, dont live with regrets learn from them and turn them around.
  • - you are better than everyone else. someone steps up to you one hit that peasant.
    - care less about everything
    - put less effort forth in all activities
    - take advantage of all the young fresh gash in highschool dont be a beta ->> after all you are king.

    there is no single thing that gonna mess up your whole life like you think... bad exam results, getting sacked, any ofthe stuff you thik will be the finish of you, it is not.

    don't get as fat; seriously, battling your way down from morbid obesity is so hard, dont let it get so far gone, you need to listen to your sister, she is right!!

    Be yourself and dont let them make you believe you bad- just because no one in school likes the way you are, you will meet people in your adult life who will.

    *Go to college BEFORE you join the Army, get married and have children
    *Your first husband isn't what he seems
    *Neither is your second
    *Yes, you CAN wear that and you will regret not wearing it when you are fatter and older
    *Do the photo shoot...so you can look back on yourself in your prime -you were pretty cute, girl!
    *Start your IRA NOW, not later
    *Don't rely on good genetics and decent metabolism
    *Wear sunscreen
    *Insist on a second opinion when the first guy said it wasn't cancer

    Take each person as they come along
    Be generous with your love and time
    Defend those who cannot defend themselves
    Compare yourself to none because you lose sight on who you are
    Be a better person today than you were yesterday
    Sometimes life is going to serve you a crap sandwich and you might have to take a bite to get through till tomorrow.

    agreed!!!
  • Don't stop dancing just because you moved away. Find a new dance school.

    Don't study law.

    You know those few years where you let the world get on top of you? It makes you a better and stronger person - keep going.

    Trust your instincts on people, you're usually right.

    Don't doubt yourself, you've got this.

    Oh, stop eating so many crisps, you'll end up a right chubber and it's harder to lose than it is to gain!

    Do whatever you have to to get out as fast as you can.
    Learn to love yourself as you are right now.
    If you don't know how, find someone to model it for you.
    Don't ever take the bate. It's always a trap.
    Find people who care about you. They are out there.
    There's no shame in facing the damage. Don't avoid it. Get the help you deserve.
