What would it be?
I have more than a few faults, but the biggest one is being passive-aggressive in certain situations. I know when I'm doing it and I know it's obvious and annoying as hell, but I haven't quite figured out how not to go there. I'm working on it, though.

Only one thing?? I would need all day. hmmph ETA okay. I wish I had finished college in four years and gone on to law school, instead of taking so long to finish and then having a baby instead of a law degree. Now I have to settle for being an armchair lawyer instead.

Can I have two, please?
My teeth: when I was a teen, the orthodontist said I didn't need braces. He was wrong. We even had great insurance at the time. Then, with each of my kids, the small gap between my front teeth and the next one on my right side widened. I hate pictures and I hate to smile because of it.
My eyebrows. I have eyebrows, but they are so light you can't see them. there is no definition to my face because of it.

Physically? Today especially. I wish I didn't have to deal with my weight issues. I've been fighting all my life and I'm tired. The last two weeks I've been very careful about what I eat, and I've been swimming laps every day. I've been avoiding the scale because I knew it would upset me, but I was feeling pretty good and I got on it. Not only did I not lose any weight, I gained 5 lbs.

Gosh, where do I start???
Body - I would have got in control of my weight when I was mid 30's and just starting to put on weight, rather than continue to put on weight for the next 10 years.
Self - I would like to be more assertive.

This show deleted so I'm not sure my post will show up, but you reminded of another 'wish I'd done it differently', Lucy. I wish I'd finished college. I loved it so much and had a job that made it so easy to attend and they helped pay for it. Before I completed my degree I took another job that wasn't college friendly and man, that was a mistake. Life and babies then became a priority and well, you know how it can go.
I'm not yet 50 so I can still go back. Yes?

I can change my body - I just am kinda lazy right now to change but if I could change one thing it would be my lack of confidence. Sometimes when I feel amazing about myself I will be over confident and then most of the time I don't have the confidence to say how I really feel so I play a lot of "I wanted to say..... but I didn't of course"

I wish I liked to cook more than I do. I cook every night but it's such a chore to decide on the menu, go to the grocery and then prepare it.

Oh, I can identify with the teeth and weight issues. I have ever-increasing gaps in my front teeth due to not getting a molar implant due to cost. If I'd really known what that missing molar would have done to my smile, I'd have done whatever it took. It's a little took late now. (
And weight. Oh. My. Gosh. I was the skinny kid growing up. Couldn't gain a pound no matter what I ate. As such, I developed horrific eating habits. I fight them every day now and it makes for a quite miserable time, let me tell you. I gain pounds just THINKING about food. *sigh*

I wish I didn't have abandonment issues. Years of therapy has helped, but it can still be a struggle to reign it in.

Can I just lump them all together and say I would like to be healthy? There are so many things wrong with me some days I wonder how this body manages to even get out of bed. So, I would change my health from bad to good.

Right now I wish I cooked more.
and I wish I didn't compare myself to others so much.

I'd love to be taller with better metabolism. That would help my weight struggles too. Being 5'1 doesn't give you a lot wiggle room. You gain 5lbs and it shows

I wish I had more self discipline, that I didn't have ADD, and that I wasn't so naturally disorganized and scatterbrained. I spend more time being frustrated at myself than anyone else.

I can't choose just one. I wish I had the confidence to be more ambitious. I also wish I wasn't so negative.

I'm pretty good for a couple of months then I creep back to my binge eating. ugh. hate it!!

My weight. I'm working on it but I feel if I looked how I want to look I wouldn't have so much hate towards myself.

I'm going to go with the chronic health issues.
I know it contributes to who I am, how I see the world and how I relate to people, but there must be a better way to learn those lessons about empathy and perspective.
That said, it could be so much worse.
On a lighter note, my eye sight sucks! That could change and I wouldn't complain.

I also wish I had better control of my weight and the determination and will power to lose the weight I need to lose. I guess I would also need a strong dedication to exercise because right now I have none.

Physically - my eyesight, I'd love to have lasic if I could afford it, I am legally blind without glasses or contacts
Mentally - I wish I could let go of things easier and not be bitter. I'm working on it, but its so hard not to think spiteful evil thoughts about people that have wronged you.
About my past - I wish I would have went to college right after high school or gone to nursing school the first time I considered it a few years after graduating. I didn't think I wanted to stay in the field, took some time to think about it and explore other options, and 12 years later here I am about to start nursing school.

Oh no, now I'm worried!! I had a tooth taken out a couple of years ago (previous root canal, massive filling, the tooth around the filling broke away and could not be saved). It was the second back tooth up the top. Now I am worried that the rest of my teeth will move because of the gap where the tooth used to be. Is that what you are talking about?

Personality - I wish I cared less about what other people might think. I *know* all the arguments, I understand how futile it is to even give 'them' a passing though generally but I can't control that that is my reaction in some situations.
Physically - I have a very small chin/jaw....I'd love a strong firm jawline.

If I could get rid of spine, I'd be better in all of ways. I've had 2 back surgeries so far, and likely having another before the end of the year. Chronic, daily, sometimes even unbearable pain can ruin your life in a lot of ways. Besides pain meds, I take asthma meds daily, another pain (nerve) meds that is a migraine prevention med too. Add the 2 antidepressants, and I'm a walking pharmacy. I feel like a burden on my husband and kids every. Single. Day Melanie
