"Things I would tell my teenage self" meme

[dianec42]

Assuming of course said teenage self would listen:

1. Lay off the cookies. At least pace yourself.
2. FLOSS! (complete with gory disgusting details of what gum surgery is like)
3. You do not "win" by squeezing your chubby ass into a smaller jeans size. Get the ones that fit.
4. Speaking of which, your tall mother is clueless. Look in the "petite" section. That means "short".

I have never had a problem with how your derrière looks in your jeans. Wait, does stuartc have me on his friends list?

Thanks, but I think that's just cause I've learned my lesson. I used to believe I was a better human being if I could jam it all into a size 10 instead of a 12, and damn the innocent bystanders. I'm still not completely over this (using the size tag as a way to keep score) even though (a) the numbers are kind of random even from the same manufacturer, and (b) no-one gets to see the size tag except me.

I was amazed to find out people didn't know this. I absolutely boggled a friend by naming my size at 22petite. He didn't know there could be such a thing.

You should see some of the things I *didn't* put in this list, these were just the ones I thought I might have a hope in hell of listening to.

Number 1 to be cut from the list: "You're not fat. Just wait 'til you see what you'll look like at 30 if you don't stop eating all those cookies, now we're talking fat."
