    You eat a lot now and don't gain weight...well, darling, things may change...

    I used to say I didn't care if I gained weight. Back when I could eat a lot and not gain weight...

    It's a toss up. I would tell myself not to get married the first time - but then I wouldn't have my wonderful daughter if I had not.

    You are not a victim and you are not what happened to you, you are who you choose to be. To hell with what everybody else thinks about you or your choices in life, it's your journey and you've learned from every mistake. Most importantly, don't choose to get clean and healthy for anybody else....do it for you because you are worth it.

    When i was a sophmore i got really into weight loss and fitness and lost about 70 lbs overall. i was a size or two smaller than now and i wish i could have told myself "keep plugging, don't give up, you're over halfway there." seriously, if you do senior year is going to be miserable because you'll have gained all the weight back by then!

    "In a few years, this kid is going to show up on youtube named Justin Bieber. What's youtube, you ask? It's a website where people can upload videos onto the internet, and then they can get famous. He is boy version of Britney Spears. Jared, you can NOT let him upload that video."

    1. Don't stick your d*ck in crazy.

    2. Pick up something heavy, a lot.

    I would love to understood how to have a healthy relationship with food. I didn't understand how to eat healthy....I tried, but my lack of knowledge costs me dearly.

    Good thread. ;)

    If you put your mind to it you can do it, you can do anything, the world is your oyster. Pay more attention in school, go to college (I decided to this when I was 25), go to university. Learn more about the body and food, get a better relationship with both.

    Don't stress about what other people think of you. They're not thinking about you. They're stressing about what other people think about them.

    Save one fifth of what you earn, and buy Australian mining shares with it.

    Finish college, be more involved in extra curricular, worry less what others think, don't get into serious relationships at a young age, focus on a career, save more money, don't smoke cigarettes, don't pickup bad eating habits. Basically everything my MOM told me.
