    don't get your PhD, go get a good job now with your master's. By the time you finish the PhD the world will be in a mass recession and you won't find work that pays well or has benefits. Also have kids, cause in 10 years you will be regretting not having a family yet.

    Wow so many things I'd tell my 10 year younger self:

    1) Buying house #1 was one of the best decisions you ever made--10 years from now it'll be worth 3 times what you paid for it.
    2) Buying house #2 will also be good idea too--it'll be a nightmare to renovate it but it'll be worth it.
    3) Go back to grad school right NOW. Don't wait a few more years. Start working toward that 2nd career you're contemplating right now; and finally,
    4) Don't stop watching your diet and exercising! In 10 years, you won't believe how skinny you used to be!!

    Once you turn your life to God (when your 18) Do not look back, for the love of Peace do not glorify your old life!, it will take more effort to turn the second time then did the first!

    I wouldn't take the pill to go back 10 yrs. I love my life the way it is, including all the bumps in the roads that got me here! =)

    get a new psych doc, there is no reason to spend another 5 years getting medical advice from someone that does not care about your well being. stand up for yourself and do not take the depakote, you will gain 100 lbs.

    oh and ben and jerrys should be a once and a while treat, not an every night pity party...

    To my 20 y/o self : Being pregnant does NOT mean you're eating for 2 whole people. You only need about 100-200 calories more a day.

    Save more of the money you made and go get a new job before you get laid off from this one.

    I just turned 30 last week so this has been on my mind.

    I would say don't join myspace or facebook. Neither of them are worth the heartache you feel comparing yourself to others.
    Don't wait so long to see a doctor about your mental health.
    The grass on the other side is never as green as it appears and usually its just full of weeds.
    Be content with who you are and who you will become.

    It's easier to let go and let your kids fail in elementary school than it is to watch them still floundering after high school because you did everything for them all through school. LET GO!!!! They'll learn to be independent if you'd just let go.

    In a few years, you'll go through a lot with a certain guy. Hang on to him. You need each other more than you know.

    Love this. ^^^

    What I would say would be totally unrelated to weight loss and this site. If I could go back to 14 year old me, I'd say stay away from cocaine because those people are not your friends and they never will be. Keep kicking *kitten* at school, and focus on you.

    How often I wonder how different my life would be.

    Life does not end after divorce. You will fall in love again and remarry and relocate and live an abundant life in every way.

    I would tell myself that eating my feelings will no help and will make you feel worse in the future. Also stop thinking everything is your fault.
