(by the way, thank you starprincess for your words of encouragement! I knew somebody missed the question of the day! *giggle*)
Here it is................................................ .....
************Tell me one thing that you would do if you could go back to high school way much thinner than you actually were back then...*********
Of course this question applies to the ladies that were plump (what a weird adjective) when they were in high school!! If you were'nt, I am jealous!!!!
If I could go back to high school, I would not worry so much about being perfect and slack off a little more. I was too tightly wound back then. This has nothing to do with weight, I was underweight back then, I just look back and realize that I was too stressed out and I really didn't have any problems to speak of.
I would've faced people (esp. guys & "popular" girls) with a lot more confidence. I wish I would've known that they're just like the rest of us, really. And I *was* thin for 1 of my 4 years in high school, but it didn't change too much for me, honestly. I dieted too hard (can anyone say FAT FREE everything?), had no clue what maintainence was, and ended up gaining it all back (& more) within months. For that reason, my senior year was kinda rough for me. My self-esteem was at an all-time low! So yeah, more confidence in myself would've been helpful. (-;
I would have stopped thinking I was fat when I wasn't. I weighed 130lbs but I thought I was Shamu. I would have enjoyed my body. It was strong back then.
I wasn't overweight in high school, but I did carry an extra 10 pounds in my bra! My parents offered to pay for a breast reduction but I was too self conscious at the time and wouldn't do it because I was afraid the attention from them going away would make it worse (head in the sand syndrome - if I don't acknowledge it, it's not a problem).
I finally had the surgery 3 years ago and it's WONDERFUL!!! One of the best things I've ever done! So, if I had downsized the boobs back in high school, I think I would have never gotten fat. I would have run and played and basically been much more active because it would have been comfortable.
well~
attending prom night and took the care to retake the yearbook photo -like many other girls-, I guess ^^; there was this technical/man error that made the photos.. er.. unflattering (bad lighting and things)
I would have also had the courage to ask a guy out. Also, I would have tried to get into sports. Granted this would require being "non-plump" from even earlier than high school! I would have also not thought that I was as huge as I was....I needed to lose some weight but I was still at least 30 pounds less than I am now! Dang, how long until that high school reunion again?
I would have dated more. There are four guys I REALLY wish I would have gone out with before picking my boyfriend who turned into Mr. Right. I have dated alot, but not as much as I wish I would have. Being plump all I could amount to was best friends with those guys. Unfortunatly I finally hooked up with one my first year in college and cheated. I felt bad, but I'm actually..umm..glad I did it. Being with someone for so long and having guys make fun of you ALL the time makes you feel like your boyfriend is the only one you can get or he's just there out of pitty... that's why I wish I knew if those guys were into me. That's why hooking up with one of my friends made me feel good about myself. It also showed me what a real boob I was at such a selfish decision.
Sacha,
I love your questions of the day!! I wasn't overweight in high school, but I certainly thought I was. I was 140 and a little taller back then, 5'10". Man, I thought my thighs were huge!! I look back at pictures and think "what the **** was I thinking?" I played sports (volleyball, basketball & track) so I was in pretty good shape but thought I was fat. I lacked confidence in H.S., so I wish I would have been more outgoing and assertive.
Question of the day # 2 !!
