    Dear past self: Just because you own a stove and buy your own groceries for the first time in you life does not make a pound of fried bacon a suitable choice for supper!

    That things aren't has hard as they seem.
    Life gets better and you can handle anything.

    I not only wish I could tell that to my teenage self, but all the teenagers...

    "PUT THE CHIPS DOWN!!"

    Haha, in all seriousness, I'd tell myself to stay active. I'm so disappointed in how inactive and unfit I've become over the years. It makes me sad how tired I get from just walking so fast. And it isn't even that hard to stay even a little fit. I was just lazy lazy lazy. :p

    There are so many things I would tell my past self. First would be to take care of myself and try to find myself and not get lost in what others expect of me. Then I would remind myself to enjoy whatever stage in life I am in, because I'll miss it when I'm old and boring. Then I would remind myself to work hard at friendship and keeping those ties I used to have. Finally, I would tell myself that there's no better way to spend my time or money than taking care of myself: get up, get out, get moving. Stop punishing yourself and DO something about it already!

    Two things -- yep, what you ate when you were thin will catch up with you one of these days because you can't keep eating like that later in life. Other one would be -- do not apply for credit cards. Bad. Bad. Bad. choices.

    Don't cry. Don't get down on yourself. If you are persistent and consistent, the size 2 will come in no time.

    Most people won't understand this, but - "Don't listen to your parents!"

    I'm not talking about my teenage years though.
