If I could change one thing about my body.......

[mimitabby]

1. I'd be younger with the attendant benefits thereof.
2. That should be obvious
3. Well, don't you look good & How do you do that at your age?!

Younger! ha. Good luck getting THAT one to come true.

1. Take, and KEEP off the last 5-10 pounds.
2. I could bike and run faster.
3. You look great

1. I've always wanted to have the baby apron removed from my belly. No matter how skinny I am, it's there, pooching out like a beacon. Don't mind the hips or thighs, but that scarred up belly--I want it GONE.
2. Because it reminds me my youth was given away too soon.
3. Husband has always tried to make me feel selfish by saying I would be taking a risk with anesthesia, etc., but I've had lots of non-elective surgeries with no ill effects, and so now I think that's just about his fear (of losing me literally or or losing me to another man/life, which is not part of the plan and I wish he'd realize that!).

1) eyes - make them as sharp as an eagle's
2) blind as a bat
3) sure they'd love to see my eyes full size instead of microscopically reduced by coke-bottle glasses

I would have new lungs and a new heart to take care of any damage done by years of smoking (I quit in 2003.)

I would be faster and stronger on the bike.

No one would really notice as I am pretty "stalwart" and don't show when I'm winded. I just get slower.

Well, I used to want bigger boobs when I was much younger.

Now that I'm nearing the 1/2 century mark, there are advantages of being naturally "small".

I wish my metabolism would be the same as it was in my 20's.

I forgot another wish --feet that don't need customized orthotics.

That's why I gave up wearing open-arched sandals.. oh well, small price when I'm on the bike too often anyway.

I could come up with a whole shopping list but top would have to be never having asthma again.

Why? Fairly obvious.

Would anyone notice? Possible not - it's all well under control, I just hate the thought of having to take medication every day for the rest of my life.

1) I'd have my pre-disposition to heart disease removed, and the pre-disp to bi-polar would be nice too thanks. Hey, wait, that would probably screw up my motivation for biking so that I'd lose all the things I really LIKE about my body Ok, how about decent eyesight, and a waist while I'm at it?

2) and 3) Oops, got lost here. Er ok - I'd like to be able see the stars at night before I fall asleep on a camping trip.

Hey Tuckervill - I'm not usually a fan of cosmetic surgery, but you know what - I wish you could have that surgery done too. You have the best reasons.

I think it would have been much more productive to have had a mother who didn't hate her body and didn't lash out at me and call me names for being the same size that she was (since this is an exercise in fantastical things that will never happen...). then I wouldn't have wasted so much of my teens and twenties starving and feeling bad about my perfectly good body.

Now I'm very fat--but even fitter than I was in my twenties, and my family can like it or lump it, frankly.
