The only thing I can think of is my "ingrown toenails" which are really bothering me right now.

So far as everything else goes, I think I'm fine just the way I am, fatness and all

I would be far more self-motivated, and that would solve all of my problems. I'd work out more, I'd wake up earlier, I'd get more work done in the studio, etc, etc, etc...

Wow, where do I start
?
I'd like to be taller (I'm 5' 3"), yes I'like a new back please
and a new neck. I definetly need MORE patience and some perserverance. I start alot of things without finishing them, and I'd like to drive, have a license but to scared to go out by myself because I have no sense of direction, so could I have that to please.
That's all for now, will let you know if I think of more.

Let's see.. I can get rid of some of the cellulite that I hate on my thighs by working out, and I can change my eye color with contacts if I *really* wanted to.. hmm..

I guess I'd take out the bump in my nose. You can't really see it unless it's from the side or a certain angle, but it still bothers me. Stupid slight roman nose!

I'm trying to overcome my cynicism, but it's not easy sometimes.
I wish I could get back to being the trusting person that I once was..

I'm that way too
Brandon is definatly helping with that though

I have huge insecurity issues because of it

I would love to have my stretch marks removed
I've had 2 kids and they left me with "The Badges of Motherhood"

I have to be honest here. I would change EVERY SINGLE THING about myself. There's not much of anything about me that I like.

Well the first thing is of course, weight. It'd be really nice to feel attractive. Or maybe a better thing would be I'd make myself more motivated, so then I would make time to exercise.
Ooh thats a good one. But I've got two, because Ive been thinking about this for a day or two (since it was posted)
So aside from changing my lack of motivation, I'm really sort of..emotionally crippled. I dont take risks, I dont open up, Im very sort of...closed off. I'd like to be able to go on a date without being stressed out about how far I'll be able to go emotionally before I panic and call it quits (I stopped talking to someone once because he said he loved me..yeah, Ive got issues). I'd like to be able to accept myself for who I am.
(Ok, Ill stop now
)

Sigh.....


I'd like to be able to control my compulsive over-eating. That would be a great start in the weight department.

I'd like to be able to say "no" to more people and stop being such an enabler. I'm better than I was, but still a work in progress.

I would like to not have "things" bother me so much, like when people say and do stupid things to me -- you know -- more even tempered.

That's three for starters...

I would look like I did when was in high school for the rest of my life. I was smokin' if I do say so myself, and had knee length hair.

Been there, done that.


Not being able to "tend" to yourself after you've done your "business" is a real bummer, too.


As much as I dislike having a messed up back, I figure things could always be worse.
Like not being able to still walk, for example...

Exactly. What we go through makes us who we are (no matter how awful it was), sometimes it makes us better people... for some it doesn't.

And as it's put, count your blessings. Some of us have it a lot better then others do. We have roofs over our heads, food, clean water, our kitties.

Hope, you can't really mean that. You know what I like about you? You have the guts to stand up for what you believe in the IMO forum no matter the repercussions. I admire that.

Well, for now, anyway. It may be a different story in about 24 hours..


Seriously, I appreciate everything I have in spite of all the pain, and especially after yesterday and what almost happened. There was a time when I was w/o a home, food & water, and it's a humbling & eye-opening experience which makes you realize just how awful some peeps have it.
