Title: What, if anything would you change
Post by: stephanie_craxford on January 21, 2006, 04:10:16 PM
What, if anything would you change on your body.  Now I don't mean anything to do with gender, gender reassignment etc...

For me it would be my ear's, while they are not big they do stick out sort of like Alfred E. Newman.  They are hidden by my hair but stick out when it's slicked back or wet.

Thighs for me. Most of the fat has redistributed off them, but there're a few spots that I'd like to get rid of.

A fairly long list.

The longer I live the more interesting life becomes *wink* (=

Cellulite would have to be the biggest problem I have on my bottom and a dimple in my legs at the back and then it would be that if I dont watch what I eat I get fat on my hips and stomach (not like a male does) it is like a spare tyre all the way around from my nice skinny tucked in rib cage to my hips and above my bottom. I weigh 73 kilos and have to get down to 69 or 70 to look fabulous.

Oh god where is the chocolate!

Food is severely over rated. (says the 63kg(139lbs) girl)

P.s. The best chocolate is Chocolate Milk... only way to go (=

Kimberly, my nails are are in cat pose. They say if you eat even a bit of chocolate it takes 30 minutes of excercise to wear it off. (puffying away at my bike that looks directly at a TV)

How tall are you?

Height um, 5'9" ... But honestly I've been drinking chocolate milk for ages and um, well, I've always had a weight problem... I don't have much of the stuff (technically speaking I'm normally around 130lbs). Or in other words I've not noticed chocolate milk to do anything for weight gain. For what it is worth, of course (=

Height...

but as a girl that really wouldn't matter anymore (I'm not exactly really short!)

So I really have no complaints aside from my gender.

Body hair. Got to much and to dark everywhere. Also my wieght I'm still a little big eventhough I lose 35 lb's over the last year. Would like larger hips too.
Far as chocolate or anything else moderation is my motto.

Your hair does go darker as you get older. One thing you may like or dislike and I dont know if anyone else has had this problem while on hrt over the last 5 years I have shrunk. I used to be 5 feet 11 inches.Then I went down to 5 feet 10 then down to 5 feet 9. Has anyone else encountered such a thing (not a biggy though as I like being a little shorter)?

Sara, I don't think losing 2 inches of height is normal but I am no expert. you need to ask your doctor about this, and be checked for Osteoporosis which is a possible side effect of estrogrn therapy.

Good point Beth. I havent had a bone density test for five years, I am supposed to have them every two I think. That could explain why my muscles have been aching.

Well my teeth have always been a little messed up... I have an overbite of like a centimetre, but my dentist won't give me braces for some reason... I'd also like to be a little taller, but apart from that and the gender thing, my body's not too bad.

I wonder if I could add some RAM memory chips to my brain (like they do with computers).  There are times I'm shocked at how bad my memory is with people's names.  I, for example, will sometimes forget the name of some actor in a film I've loved for lots of years.

Maybe while they add the RAM to my memory, they could hook my brain up to some kind of wireless network.  Then I could just dictate my posts and up they'd go onto Susan's Place.

Teri Anne, IT must be the hormones that does this as I have noticed that since I started taking hormones five years ago my memory has been really bad. I could meet someone and then when asked who was that I just reply dunoh!

Sara,  hormones wont do that - I can achieve that state without taking any at all.  Or!! wait - maybe its male hormones affecting memory :(

HelenW YES thats what I would change - back to 18, geez or even 30, so long as I could keep my present mind. (I was so unbelievably stupid back then,   am hoping I have changed)

When I was 20 I thought I was pretty stupid in my teens. When I was 30 I thought I was pretty stupid in my 20's. In my 40's same deal on the 30's. I'm a year from 50.

Just a minute, just a minute, checking, checking.

Yep, haven't improved much in my 40's either. This decade I will get it right.  ;D

Rana, whats the subject. Oh yes thats right What, if anything would we change. Mmmmmmm, cant remember sorry.

I would like to be born again so I could go back and come out the right way and if that didnt work then I would tell my mother to do something about it. I miss the years I have lost. I am 41 and there are days I feel 101 so yep me too I would like to be younger, say about 11 or 12 so I could go through puberty and become the real woman I see from within.

What would I change?...

If it meant that those around me would not be with me.. then nothing.

If it meant I could take back any hurts I've inflicted on others... what ever it takes.

If it meant that I would be without my children .... nothing.

If it meant that I could make the world better for someone... whatever it takes.

If it meant being without my wife ... nothing.

It may be selfish but I think nothing.

I would change the following:

Less facial/body hair, I don't have alot fortunately, but I would like to lose what I do have - will problably do electro for facial hair;

Age is a good one as others have mentioned, I would like to be younger and know what I know now;

Feet and hands, they are too big for my taste and I wish they were smaller.  I really feel it when shopping for shoes, there are more choices for smaller feet, and I love shoes and shopping for shoes.

That's it for me.
