if you could do something all over again what would it be?

I saw this on another board and thought i would try it out here.... if you could do something all over again what would it be?

you mean you posted the question and didn't give your answer? pfffft Ummmm gosh, there are so many things I'd do differently. I guess with regards to the WLS though..... My husband and I just got married last October in Vegas (my 1st anniversary is coming up soon)... I think I'd re-do that whole thing and have an actual wedding. It was my 2nd and I did the big wedding the first go round, but it was his first (and ONLY) wedding and although it was sweet and just us... there were NO frills. But being that I'm thinner now, I'd probably not mind so much doing the whole "look at me" thing.

Not being so lazy with exams and making myself be more confident

geesh Mel could you give me a second i have so many posts i have to do on here...LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok ok....i would have taken better care of myself and maybe sought out some professional help when dealing with stressful situations. I would have left my first husband sooner than i had ,stuck it out with him for 13 years.... would have gotten out of the retail management sooner and started real estate alot sooner. other than that probably would have not changed to many things

I would have done this sooner. The results are amazing. I wish I could have involved my family more with this WLS surgery b/c there are somethings that I feel like they still don't understand like why buffets mean nothing to me now.

I hear ya girl they just don't fully understand..........they are starting to get it but i don't think they fully get it............i really don't think anyone who has not had this done can really understand what we go through

I almost said I wouldn't have married my first husband, but then I wouldn't have my kids and I don't regret them for a second. Like you Crystal, I would have left him sooner. I stuck out that train wreck of a marriage for the kids sake and we were married for 18 years. ANYWAYS lol, I also would have had this surgery sooner if I hadn't been so afraid of it. I started thinking about having this done in 2002, then chickened out and decided I would think about it again as a last resort (apparently I kept thinking I could lose weight the old fashioned way, even though it hadn't worked for a bazillion tries before).

donna same with me my children are from my first marriage........and i too would have done this sooner but was afraid and it was my last resort as well...........(((hugs to you))))

Wow is this hard!! I think I would not marry so young (16). I was married for 19 years and it broke my heart when I got divorced. After I got involved with someone who was evil............So one broke my heart and one broke my spirit........... I now find great pleasure in helping others.....but I am sad that I do not trust myself enough to get involved again. I am 49 and have been alone for the last 10 years!! Shannon

shannon my first marriage was very abusive.............and they do break your spirit but somehow when i was least expecting it God sent me a blessing .........i hope you don't stay alone forever ..........it is very hard to trust and let your guard down,but i think i have the most understanding,patient man alive..........he's my everything............and i got my spirit back as well...........i do hope you find happiness in whatever happens in your life!you deserve it girl!
