This is off-topic meaning nothing to do with weight, willpower, food or physical appearance. I'm thinking more about things related to your character or personality.

I've got 2:
1. Quit complaining. Apparently I'm an "above average" complainer (as told to me by my bf and I totally believe it). I was watching a reality show Running In Heels and there's one person who complains nonstop and another who rarely complains. I read some message boards and everyone hates on the former and loves the latter. I do believe a good attitude and a bright disposition will get you far in life so I'm going to have to give myself an attitude adjustment.

2. Less thinking, more doing. I'm an obsessive planner and a world champion procrastinator. If I see the floor needs vacuuming, instead of just doing it, I'll write it in on my planner and maybe it will get done in the next week or so. I know, it's ridiculous.


How about you? What would you like to change about yourself?

I totally related to your #2. LOL

I would change how much of a brat I am sometimes. I really try not to be but there are times where I am the biggest brat/biatch ever.

I would also change my motivation in cleaning my room. I would rather clean my bathroom than my room. I hated every second of cleaning my room today, and the problem is, is its not even that big. I just detest doing it.

I need to stop being so socially anxious. I can hardly keep myself from wondering what people are thinking about me for the tiniest things sometimes. I used to be much worse though, I could hardly go anywhere. But I'm going to college this fall, and if I want to do well I'm gonna need to learn how to be comfortable in social situations.

I do your #2 too, I'm notorious for procrastinating. Which is definitely something else I need to work on before college. :P

Procrastination is a big thing I would change about myself! If I didn't procrastinate as much, I would get so much more accomplished and I would possibly feel better about myself.

I wish I could express my feelings/thoughts more. I believe this can go along with what other people think about me. I often don't like to express my opinions about things because it's not what other people would want to hear. It sounds stupid as I type it, but it's true. I need to have more confidence in myself, especially while expressing myself.

Social anxiety is a big one for me, too, and along with that goes not being great at public speaking. I actually blush sometimes while speaking in class! Not because I am saying stupid things that I feel embarrassed about, just because I get flustered that everyone is looking at me...

I like the socially anxious one. I'm a fairly outgoing person, but I am so preoccupied with how people perceive me that (apparently, according to some friends from work) I come off as snobby.

Another one, I think, would have to be that I would like to take more risks. I would love to meet new people, because I always find the ones I end up being friends with are not exactly the kind of people you want to be friends with. I want to surround myself with more positive individuals.

Lastly, I would be less cynical and sarcastic. I think it puts people off, and truthfully, I wish more of my relationships would start without me having anxiety over how soon this friend/boyfriend is going to stab me in the back.

I would like o become more independent. I rely on my husband a lot, and I would like to be able to just kind of live my own separate life, without feeling guilty or weird. I am planning on taking up some extra activities on my own, to help with this. But still... I need to learn to just kinda do my own thing sometimes.

Ooh, okay, this is an easy question for me... I know what my biggest (non-bodily) flaw is, yet for some reason I never seem to be able to reel in it.

I would love to make myself less stubborn. I really can be the most bullheaded person you will EVER meet, and sometimes I feel like it makes me incredibly annoying to other people. Once I form an opinion, I always have to be right, and I will argue and argue and refuse to budge one bit until the other person gives up and "admits" that I am right--and they usually do, because I'm a pretty talented debater, heh. I think it partially stems from me viewing myself as a fairly intelligent person in general, so a lot of times I truly do think that I'm in the right, and if the other person would just *listen* to me, they would see... () And on the occasions where I'm just 100% wrong, I HATE having to admit it (and very rarely do ), because I don't like looking/feeling "stupid," or like I've made a fool out of myself. So even if I'm disputing with someone over something completely inconsequential, or something that I don't even feel that strongly about, once I feel another person opposing something that I've said, I just have to keep going until I feel like I've shown that I was right... And that sometimes translates to me saying/doing things that I probably shouldn't, because I end up looking like I'm just this mean person who wants to make other people look stupid just so I feel better about myself--and I swear, that's not who I am! I dunno, perhaps it all just comes down to me being a control freak. It's not like a hugely dominant, life-ruining part of my personality, but it certainly is something that I wish I could get better at seeing myself falling into the trap of doing stuff like that, and making myself stop!

On the other hand, there are lots of good things that can come from being so stubborn... It makes me a really hard worker, and once I set my mind to something, I rarely give up until the job is done. Maybe it's not so great that my determination springs from not wanting to look stupid, heh, but it's better than no determination at all! I mean, hey, I would attribute lots of my weight loss success to the fact that I'm "stubborn" about it, and now that the people around me more or less know that I'm trying, I refuse to fall flat on my face! Hehe.

I'm kinda clumsy. I spill things on myself, bump into things, and drop things. And I can't tell myself it's because I'm fat anymore! I'm trying to have more grace, but so far I haven't noticed much improvement.

I worry too much about what other people think of me, but that's something I've been getting better at. In a related comment, I wish I had more confidence when it comes to flirting/dating.

I also procrastinate... but why change that today? I'll work on that one later...

1. Not care as much about little things

2. To become independent as well

I'm still working on getting rid of my shyness and self-consciousness, which has been a major roadblock in my life.

I'm hoping that losing weight will help my social anxiety some. A lot of the things I worry about people thinking is about my weight. And people have said I come off as snobbish too, which I can see sometimes. But it's really difficult to actually convey my personality to people when I can barely get a word out.
But I'm definitely a lot better at it now because I can actually go out in public by myself and eat by myself, etc, and not care if people are looking at me. I just wish I could get better at actually talking to people and making friends.

1. Procrastination!!! And over planning.... I tend to even plan on when I am planning, and then, plan when and where I will plan to plan. For example, I need to do some planning for next week. So, I will do it tonight. I will do it in the bedroom looking at the big wall calendar between work out and shower. I mean seriously, its ridiculous!

2. Believe in myself more. I tend to doubt myself often and go along with ideas of others' because I think I am wrong.

Being moody. I'm not normally a depressed person in a clinical sense, but lately I've had the tendency of thinking about things that make me depressed or just really gloomy. I'd like to think that at some level, I control what kinds of things I think about and dwell on, and I need to stop beating myself up mentally and stop "looking for trouble" in the realm of my thoughts. I have done that a lot lately and life's just been no fun, even though I have a good one.

I want to be.... cool, I guess. As in, the kind of person you want to invite to your dinner party, because she always has something interesting to say, and is a pleasure to have around.

I feel like my husband and all my friends are like that, just really fabulous cool people who always know exactly what to say, and aren't self-conscious at all... I think in my husband's case it's true, he really is incredibly awesome, hehe... I don't know if the rest of our friends are secretly self-conscious or anything, but I doubt it.

It probably doesn't help that I'm always the biggest person around, by far... my husband lost 60 or 70 pounds a few years ago, and he's super lean and athletic now, and all of our friends are "naturally thin" (though I've realized lately that they often order a salad instead of fries, etc).

What worries me is that, once I do get close to my goal weight, I'll no longer be able to tell myself that my weight is making me self-conscious and therefore uninteresting... but that really, I'm just a dull, uninteresting person no matter what my weight or appearance. Sigh. Maybe it's time for some therapy or something.
