...what would it be? Physical, behavioral, situational....you choose.

That's easy for me. I have four horrendous tattoos that I got about 25 yrs ago. I hate them they do NOT represent me in any way and people judge me by them all the time.
I would have them removed. Right now the cost is prohibitive it would be between three and five thousand each for laser removal.
That's it. Every other thing about myself whether physical or not is a choice I make and I can choose to do what I want. This is the only thing out of my own control.

I wish I had a more positive, pro-active attitude about life.

That's what I think any time I see a young kid covered in tattoos. I was young once too and my ideas now are absolutely nothing even remotely like they were then! If you want to make a statement...wear a crazy T shirt! You can't change that! Tattoos are there for LIFE! When I was in my twenties I thought big teased up hair was awesome! Thank goodness you couldn't make that permanent or I'd be the laughing stock NOW!

As far as what I'd change about myself...there are too many to list!

I also have a long list of faults, both physical and otherwise.

But probably the biggest one that impacts my quality of life - I really wish that I didn't get so mad sometimes and lose my temper and holler. I haven't been able to figure out how to keep my passion about things (which I view as good), but not let it boil over.

I would be taller! The rest of me would be much more in proportion if I was just a few inches taller. 4'11" & 1/2 SUCKS! LOL

my metabolism

I would be less critical of people and more patient. Working on it, but it's all about thinking before I talk. I always have a bad case of "foot in mouth" disease.

I keep telling my oldest dd this. She's on tattoo #5, but thank goodness 4 out of the 5 can only be seen if she's wearing a bathing suit, and none of them are across her back! LOL

The only one you can see is if she has her hair pulled up. It's on the back of her neck. It's a big honkin' Star of David, which in itself is way ironic.

I would like to be more patient, and also I would love to be able to mellow out and not worry so much, and a good dose of self confidence would help me a great deal! I would love to have a flat stomach. It doesn't seem to matter how much I exercise....its still not flat. Boobs would be nice also. Nothing big....just a B or C cup would be great! As for tattoos....I waited until I was 46 to get my first one, and I love it!

Same as you only I have the boobs but not the tattoo`s and not let people use me as much. I cant say no. nancy

Well, I don't have boobs, or a flat stomach, but they don't matter so much to me anymore. What I would like to change more than anything is to be able to get rid of all the aches and pains of a old tired worn out body. There are so many things that I still want to do, but the body just won't stop complaining.

Even at my advanced age I am a work in progress.But I guess if it was one thing it would have to be my lifelong love/hate relationship with food. It creates problems for me.

Same here also, the aches and pains nearly do me in everyday. I cant take pain killers they make me sooooo sick !...

BTW I waited till I was 41 to get my tattoo . I like it. It has a special meaning to me. I had a still born little boy and I always said I wanted a rose with tear drops and thats what my tattoo is.My husband on the other hand nearly had heart failure when I came back from vacation with it.

But it's less than an 2 inches high and 2 inches across located on my left should ( same side as the heart ).

I'd have my body go to back to the way it looked in college.

I can relate to so many of these posts.....I wish I could control my emotions/anger, I want a more postive outlook on eveything, I feel like such a sadsack all the time. I have such depression tendencies, and when I am down, or feeling down, I feel like I'm kicking God in the teeth for being so ungrateful. I have absolutely no reason to be depressed, and I mean none. Yet, I am. ALOT. So, I need to work on being HAPPY.

That does have special meaning. What a really nice tribute to your little ds.

I guess mine is that I'm having trouble embracing a more age-appropriate attempt at beauty. Why do I need to pluck the grays? Why can't I accept those "muted" colors I'm supposed to include in my make-up?

And that's just the physical. I also don't like that I give others' words too much power IRL - my DH is able to let things just roll right off. Not me - I replay them way too much. Working on that, though! Also working on "reframing" my own words to others. There's always a better way to express a thought - I am working on that, too.

Brownsugargirl, I hear ya hon and I totally understand and sincerely hope things work out better for you and for all here on this post who which to change something in their lives... Peace. Catherine

If I could change on thing, it would be that I didn't worry so much. I totally worry about stupid stuff that never even comes to fruition. And after the moment passes, and the situation has been handled, I feel like a heel for having worried about it. Unfortunately, I have been giving myself panic attacks lately-something I have NEVER had before in my life. Thankfully, at this point, I am able to talk myself out of them. I am just worried that I may get to a point where I can't. I would totally love to change that about me...
