Pretty much change every decision. It will be ok in the end but it is going to be a long, hard road that you don't have to experience0

you are in great shape don't stop exercising don't eat as much as neal does and keep loving him because you need each other. Life gets better, so keep being a cheap person because you will end up having more in the long run than those who scoff at ur cheapness. ^_^ So far I am proud of you, just keep exercising because christmas of 2011 u will be the heaviest u have ever been and u will be sad.0

It will get easier.0

All those Dominos are sooo not worth it. Stop stressing about feeling awkward and go out and have fun - you think you're awkward because you're so hung up on it, truth is that most people aren't paying much attention to you anyway0

You will not be happy working in an office for the rest of your life. Forget what your teachers, parents, and fellow students tell you--you CAN walk away from a free ride to college to do what you actually want!0

though i am only almost 20..
i would tell myself
tom is an amazing guy, dont let him be your 2nd option for the 3rd year in a row.
quit working at dairy queen, they dont appreciate you and are sucking the life out of you. you work to hard with nothing to show for it. you could get a better paying job if you just looked around with more benefits.
start saving money for college, stop spending all of your money on fast food and weed.
also smoking cigarettes isnt cool, when you quit stop going back to it. (still havent quit... *sigh*)
consider going to a college around where you are already from (i moved 100 miles away and tho i like it, i wish i wouldnt have started my life here.) i miss my family, but love my 'new family' at school etc.0 -
"You really should go to sleep..."
-me, right now, at 180 -
Love yourself.
Don't take everything so seriously.
Stop trying to be perfect.0 -
If I were 18, I would tell myself to eat right, work out, be patient, you will find true love, you will marry, have children, be a citizen of the USA, you will be a college grad, friends will come and go, money will come and go, jobs will come and go, and LIFE WILL BE ALRIGHT. CHEERS.♥0

buy land and leave the booze alone!!0

Everything will be okay in the end....If is is not okay then it is not the end0

I'd give myself a pat on the back for quitting drugs. And I'd tell myself to stop letting people take me for granted because in 7 years, half of those people are dead anyway.0
-
Instead of going to work full-time right out of high school, go to college instead. Don't feel obligated to support your family, they are not your responsibility and will take advantage of you for YEARS.
The guy you're with is NOT the man you will spend your life with, so don't put so much of your heart into it.
Love yourself, you're worth it.

I would tell myself to tell my future ex husband, "You're right, he's not your kid". Oh the problems that would have solved. Also, go to college. And stop listening to your mother, you are smart, pretty and capable of great things and most of all, you aren't fat.0
-
*Dump the loser and be a mingling single for the next 2 years. Your future husband is just around the corner.
*You aren't nearly as fat or ugly as you think you are. In fact, you're awfully cute, even if you are a little chunky.
*Don't major in journalism. It isn't for you. Find something else.
*It doesn't make sense now, but next year, when your BFF asks if her other friend can move in with the two of you when you move to college, JUST SAY NO!
*Also, don't do anything you wouldn't want your future daughter to ever do. (BTW- she'll be here when you're 24 & she'll be amazing.)0 -
Get off the drugs.
Leave that *kitten* guy because within the next two years it only gets worse.0 -
Dear Self,
I know if you are reading this I probably figured out a way to go back in time after I posted this on that weight loss site. Please listen to your future self. Stop smoking right now!!! No I mean it. It gets really expensive in the future. Start lifting weights and running. Oh and stay in college dont keep going to the stupid bar.
Oh and man ...Dont talk yourself out of the dreams you had go for them. You have the talent and the ability. Pick your camera back up and enjoy what you thought was stupid. That bike tour you want to do next year across the country...Do it.
The girls: They are there and they are looking. You shouldn't be so shy. They are waiting on you to say hi...Find yourself and say hi. Smile and talk to them. You have it in you.
Embrace your love for adventure. Try everything new that comes your way. Live Life.
Lastly Ill leave you with this quote...
Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours. - John Galt
One last thing. Invest in Apple dont invest in Facebook. Buy more guns never sell your motorcycle and Dont Go see Little Nicky or Master of Disguise.0 -
Some of these posts are cracking me up!!! Ok my turn now....
Don't get out of the Navy at the end of your enlistment, dingbat! Or you are going to really regret it.
Don't date that blonde idiot you meet at your Navy school. He's an *kitten*.
You are going to get pregnant by a great guy. Love him like nothing else and don't screw it up.
Go to college!!!!
Get your driver license before you go in the Navy so you can get a car instead of having to walk everywhere.
Take more pictures of your time in the Navy. You are going to miss those days and regret not having picture memories.
And don't get that horrible perm again....it makes your hair look like you stick your fingers in light sockets.
And when you start gaining weight, do something about it early so you don't end up 280 lbs at the age of 42.
You are going to be diagnosed with MS. Deal with it.0 -
Don't get married in 1993...wait for the one in 2003....She's a keeper!!!0
-
Oh and keep your mouth shut in bootcamp....or you will be doing A LOT of push ups.0
-
Don't get serious about that first boyfriend at Uni. Just have fun and more sex while its freely available! Keep exercising and don't eat too many late night currys because you are going to regret it!0
-
Maybe this.

Eat less, move more. Don't buy the timeshare next year, or move into a base house - trust me, both these will save you a fortune. After you have the baby, don't eat like you'll never eat again, even though being pregnant sucked. Don't eat so much mcdonald's when you're in Slovenia. Try to avoid the medical exam in Croatia, fight it. It will leave you feeling violated for a long time. Don't bother going to the ball in Slovenia, it's not worth it.0

When she asks, "do you want to beat daddy up the stairs"... say YES you JACK@$$!!!!0

The people you consider your friends now...well honey they aren't going to be around very long. Outside of going to the club with them you will see that you don't have much left in common anymore. Don't wait around for your friends to catch up to your mentality, or to hurry up and grow up so that you can not feel guilty about pursuing your own life! They will carry on in their dead end lives anyway...and they won't bother to really keep in touch and care about how you are anyway.
Do your research and find out what it is you REALLY love to do, because hopping from school to school and job to job isn't helping you discover that dream job. Live your life, go and travel! Give yourself some deadlines to enjoy life and then get on track with school and a career. Don't be afraid to pursue your dreams but go for them until you ACCOMPLISH them! Don't go to University, move to Toronto sooner! Or try to go to college in the US. Find ways to get where you want to go and GO GET IT!!! You have one life and you can't do everything. Pick something you can do well and let God use you in it.
Spend more time with your brother, build memories with him because in a few years you will experience the most devastating loss and will wish you had more quality time with him. Your dad will have two heart attacks, but he'll survive.
Quit smoking
Stop taking birth control!!! (You aren't even sexually active and I think it contributes to your weight gain!)
Get healthy, hit the gym hard and change your body.
You are NOT fat, if you don't listen to me you WILL be.
You are pretty, be confident in it!!
The girl you were jealous of all throughout elementary school, who you wanted to look like, will tell you when you are 31 that she used to wish she looked like you all these years with your curves and sexy big hair...so be proud of your individuality!!0 -
Flaunt it while you got it, no one cares about your stretch marks, they are too busy looking at other things.
Otherwise, I have no regrets.0 -
I think I am going to have my son read these. He's 20 and in the Army Reserves...which I am very proud of....but he needs to get a job and his own place.0
