I wish I would have gone to college after high school instead of getting married at 19. It didn't last and now I'm a 33yo working college student.0

Hmm maybe I will! First I need to finish Project Buff

I wish I knew walking is the best exercise that I can stick with0

I feel better at 46 than I did for most of my 30s and some of my 20s. I get angry with myself sometimes for all the years wasted sitting on a couch.0

40 is the new 30 so you're OK!0

If I could go back to my 16yo self I would tell myself, say no to the ex. I'd push college to my 18yo self so I could have been a teen longer. I'd tell her to cut her mom off because waiting until I was 30 leaves me with minor baggage. I'd give her a hug and tell her when she's feeling lonely it's okay, she's alone but never lonely.0

I wish I would have appreciated my figure back in my teens and twenties. I spent most of those years thinking I was fat. So much angst! lol
^^^ I know how you feel. I was curvy and the rest of the girls in high school were sticks so I felt very overweight and self conscious. Now that I'm overweight, I'm actually more comfortable in my own skin (I think it comes with age). I now realize how awesome I looked back in high school. This picture was right after I graduated.
This is what I look like now.
My biggest regret is not being by my grandfather's side when he passed away. I had the option to be there when he went and I chose not be there because I thought it would be too difficult for me. Everyone in my family was by his bedside when he passed except for me. I feel guilty because he was probably wondering where I was and why I wasn't there. He knew how much I loved him, but I feel like I let him down.

Honestly the 7 years I had to be on a cocktail of 12 pills for my mental disorders.
I went from 135 lbs to 298 in about a year and a half.. and just stayed toeing the 300 lbs line...
The meds helped me tremendously, and no doubt without them I'd have not survived... but I regret what it's done to my body majorly.0 -

Letting my friend meet the guy that I had a huge crush on..,... They are dating now0

I regret being ignorant for so long. But thankfully that's not the case now.0
-
Being so stupid when I was younger! I knew better, I just didn't want to listen to anyone0
-
Wasting my 20s in bad relationship after bad relationship. 5 months after I hit 30 I met the perfect guy so it worked out in the end, just wish I didn't have to deal with all that BS first!0

Oh no angie 153. That's rough0
-
Buying a house in FL at the peak of the housing market, right before the crash. And getting involved with my ex-husband.0
-
I wish I would have changed jobs 10 years ago. Now I've become too complacent and am too old to find something new in my salary range. <sigh>0
-
another thing i wish i had done sooner was got my mental health in check years before i finally admitted i needed help. before admitting i needed the help i just thought i was weak0
-
Always following the path of least resistance, my problem is I suffer from chronic satisfaction and so never push myself - on the bright side I'm usually happy and not stressed.0
-
I wish I took a year off between high school to work and travel. Also wish I studied abroad for a semester in college.0
-
I regret lacking confidence in myself when I was younger. It made me extremely shy and I constantly gave up because I felt like a failure before I even attempted something. Come to find out I'm pretty crafty and talented
It's just too bad that it took me three decades to see it... 0 -
That I'm still awake, 02:45 AM.....0
-
Caring too much what people think and not allowing myself to be myself. Not following through with school when I still lived with my parents, now I'm struggling to complete school while working full time.0
-
Not realizing how strong I really am and that fitness is something attainable, I wasted a lot of time focusing on a number and not how strong I was. I appreciate who I am much more now than when I was in my 20s and I am far more fit0
-
Gaining weight back that I said I wouldn't gain! I wish I could go back to when I was at my healthiest and just continue0
-
Allow myself to love someone so much that I lost who I was. Now they are gone and I have no idea who I am or what I want.0
-
This post actually made me think...and I have to say I don't have any (so far).0
-
I really regret how I lost a lot of my weight.
My time as a NEAT.0
