QOTD - Sunday 10/14

If there was one thing you could change about yourself what would it be?

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

I would like to be more confident. My parents never really believed in me, not that I blame them, I was a pretty rotten kid. But not believing in myself has hurt me as I have gotten older. And it has reflected on my parenting too. I don't think my kids are very confident and I want all of them to be, especially DD. I don't want her walking the same path as me.

Oh, and if it was a physical change, for purely selfish reasons, I would change my nose. I hate it! LOL

 

[ddavis860]

That one is so easy for me. I would change my weight. I have so much to lose, that it's daunting, and so I never really start. So I guess it comes down to I would change my mind set so that I could focus and lose...

 

[Mickeyteacher]

I guess I would change my weight also... I have some to lose and I want to start- I just never have the time/ energy etc.

I too could use a little more self-confidence. I see the lack of it in my eldest too. And I thought I was parenting different than my folks. Maybe it is genetics, like Jimmy Neutron says.

If I could change something physical, it would be the double chin that runs the family. Even when I weighed 115lbs, I still took horrible pictures at the wrong angle.

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Definitely weight! I lost about 35 pounds in 2006, and I've gained about 10 of it back. I want it GONE! My problem is, though, that I keep saying, "I'll just eat this (ice cream, fattening food, whatever) tonight, and we'll start our diet tomorrow." Yep, that's been going on for about 3 months!!

 

[jennyL]

Mine would be my weight too. Not right now as I'm still pregnant but before and now hopefully after I will be down to a better weight.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I would want a little more self-confidence.. I tend to worry about my looks, my swap items, my parenting.. my... this/that/the other...

 

[vanyel]

Mine is similar - lack of self-confidence, insecurity and weight.

I pretend to have lots of self-confidence at work while I frequently doubt or second-guess myself though I don't let others know I'm doubting myself. The weight - I'm always finding excuses why I didn't exercise or why I ate that bag of chocolate.

Maybe we need a therapy thread?

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

All of the above as well. I think if I had more self confidence I would be thinner. I avoid the gym because of how I look, ya know. It's a vicious cycle.

And Brooke I am right there with you!! I'll start tomorrow! LOL

I have been keeping up with the walking but now that it's getting colder I don't want to take DD out too much. I gave my good electric treadmill to my mom and bought a smaller wheel powered one but I don't like it. There is a community center here with an indoor track but I can't use a stroller on it.

 

[GBShorts]

I'd make myself independently wealthy so I didn't have to work and could make crafts all day!

haha just kidding.

I'd probably make myself more organized. I'm already organized but I'm NUTS about it and think I could do better.

 

[aroyer]

Self-confidence here!!

 

[rlovew]

I would be more assertive. I know that what I have to offer is good and that I am doing a good job but I hate confrontation and so I will sit back instead of asserting myself.

I wouldn't mind some weight loss either. Maybe we should go back to our threads with lists for the day including exercise. i know it was always helpful to me.

I'd want to be more outgoing when I'm not in front of a keyboard. I have such a hard time knowing what to say, especially when meeting new people and I avoid a lot of situations because of it. Not exactly self-confidence like so many others, but related.

 

[Faerie]

Confidence here too. My lack of comes from my family, but I have been better lately.

Physical - I'd love to change out my left leg. I have had so many knee and ankle issues that I'd love a whole new set

 

[party of 3]

Self-confidence. definitely! and of course the whole weight thing as well. good grief. i just can't seem to fit exercising into my day. i ran into someone that i went to school with the other day at open house at ds school and he said "omg, holly you have not changed a bit!" i said "are ya kiddin' me!" i was so much skinner i high school. he was just being nice, i'm sure.

 

[MyLittlePiglet]

I agree with REbecca to be more assertive. Too many times I let other people control situtations and don't speak up etc. This is especially true with defaulting things to my DH, I should speak up more.
