  Yep, I think so.  I think that when I was 21 there wasn't a thing I would have changed about myself.  Except for maybe having more tattoos, but I couldn't afford them.  I worked hard to focus on myself and realize just how cool I was, and am.  I hope y'all don't think I'm nuts, but I'm a pretty dang cool chick.  And at 21 I was focusing on what I loved about life, and was active and felt good and knew I looked good.  I'm serious I love lots of things about myself.  I love the fact that I'm pear shaped, so I even love things that others think are imperfections.  (And I love other pear shaped women, and round women, and top heavy women... 

 ) The thing that has changed is that I have gained about 80 lbs since then, and my body hurts from carrying that much more weight.  And I don't like the fact that I'm too lazy to change it.  But I wasn't like that then and seriously I didn't gripe about a thing about myself.  Some girls hate not having large boobs, I hate having to wear a bra for the first time in my life at 23.  I'd like to not have to buy them again.  But really, in my head I'm still that sexy girl that is so dang cool.  I wish more women felt that way about themselves.

  And to this, I admit I've gained 80 lbs.  Thank goodness I'm tall or it would show a lot more!  People really don't believe my driver's license, and even it is a total farse!
