Girl, you practically stole my list! I wish I were a size 10 (or 8, like Lou said), had lots more sex, and had less chin hair hahahaha. Seriously! I’m lucky in that I don’t crave sweets, so that’s never been my cross to bear, but I also can’t lose a pound unless I hit the gym hard, which pretty much blows.

In any case, I like your lists. I hope you get to check off a few from each!

HUGS

How about someone who was always size 10, went back to being a size 10 after she had had 3 children and then………..at about the age of 50 began to pile weight on and is now 11 stone and can’t get rid of it! I used to be able to eat anything I wanted as well…..now I can’t look at food without the pounds piling on. *sigh*

One more thing, I really understand the dainty feet thing. It would be so nice to not have to camoflage my feet in the summer! Remember there are others of us out there.

I am so sorry you are in this terrible slump. Although I know exactly how you feel. I just think if the weight was under control things would be better all around. So, for me, that is where I’m starting, my wieght. It has been an on-going, and painfully slow process. I started eating better, healthier meals and portion control. Now I also go to the Y. Finally I am starting to see some results. It just seems like if I felt better about myself other things would just fall into place. Good luck and start with the weight, I know it will help mentally!!!

I wouldn’t worry about it too much. i can guarantee you that the same Skinny person would wish they had something else. Maybe even what you have “Great Blog”

everyone has a unique talent. You just have to know how to use it right

OK, don’t hate me…but I can wear cowboy boots. I’m not stylish though. Miss Peach goes to a beautiful people school, and I feel like a schlep every day when I pick her up. These Moms are dressed to the nines:O Nine times out of ten, I am in running clothes…in my defense, I am always going for a run…

I think everyone wants to be thinner, more toned, richer, etc. You and I are in the elite few who wish for daintier feet that would fit into shoes that we can’t afford anyway…. Even without the Laboutin’s, I’d just be happy to be able to order 3 pairs of shoes from Zappos and actually be sure that at least one of them would fit properly.

Stupid feet. They still suck even after losing 35 pounds. Maybe you and I should plan on a trip to Berlin together, I hear that all the shoes are made for big feet and are still fab and comfy!

FABULOUS post! I agree…television does seem to make most of us (well, me) more focused on superficial things.

Brilliant post Elisa! I have my own ‘I wish’ list too. And I too, constantly wish I was thinner. I think if one could speak to most women, on any continent they would wish the exact same thing. I don’t think I know a single female friend who doesn’t wish they were thinner. I really think the problem doesn’t lie with us, but more to do with getting dumbed down by a lot of unrealistic air brushed pictures in magazines etc. And of course, the models on the runway are very (very) unique with their bodies (most women are not shaped like those gazelles). I think I need to wish to be more accepting of myself. That is probably the first wish I have on my list.
