From head to toe what would you change about yourself.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

I am working on an extreme make over of my own and this is what I am doing.

New Hair Style; Texturizer I think is the way to go to relax my hair and to give it even more shine.

No acne; The antibiotics have worked way better than I expected and I am pretty clear skinned OXY and Biore also help.

Braces, I am saving the dough and I got about 900 more dollars to go

flatter stomach; I have been doing sit ups like a mad man for the last 3 weeks and now pants that were to tight I are starting to be nice and baggy.

Bigger biceps; I have just started with some weights last night but I swear I feel like Governor Scwharzenegger.

New Clothes; I went looking around and saw what I liked and next pay check I am going to check out some of my favorite stores Ecko Unltd, Hot Topic, Anchor Blue, Pac Sun and of course Express Men for the dressier stuff. Also I don’t discriminate against any store that sells clothing I have been known to find cool stuff in the thrift stores.

What would you change about yourself?

2

I’m happy with everything except my weight. Nose, hair, eyes, etc are all fine.

3

I’ve never liked my nose but I look just like my mom so I know it’ll change. Other people like it. ::shrug::

Weight: belly gots to go! The rest of my body (excepting my chin) isn’t very fat… I’ve got that really unhealthy apple shape.

Boobs: TOO BIG. Losing weight will help, I know. But if they don’t drop in size when I do, then I’m getting a reduction.

With the upcoming summer, I have been thinking about what I would change about myself… And what I did was to initially make a list of what I wasn’t happy with and most of it is superficial physical attributes but I also have some items which are mental and I’m going to work on changing.

Physically:

  • I’d like to have more cardiovascular stamina, being a big guy I’ve never really had to run for distances but I’d still like to be able to climb three floors of stairs and not be breathing extremely hard.

  • I’d like to, even just for one day, to have a 6 pack. I’m not fat, though there is opportunity if I don’t stop it now. But to even know I got a 6 pack one day, I think, would be motivation for me to keep one.

  • Biceps would be nice

Mentally:

  • Organization, I’m horrendously disorganized - I’ve taken to living by my palm pilot so it is my stunt brain per se.

  • Hygiene wise, I need to work on my dental hygiene. My teeth are not bad but soft teeth run in the family and I’ve had my share of cavities.

5

Lazer treatment on my eyes so I don’t have to wear contact lenses. And I’d like to lose just over half a stone, to bring by weight to 7 1/2 stone.

That’s it.

6

Oh, and slightly bigger boobs.

7

I’d like to have hair with more body. Unfortunately, I inherited the fine, straight, just-hangs-there hair from Dad’s side of the family. Oh how I’d love a mass of thick waves!!

It’d be nice to have younger eyes again and not need the glasses, but I’ve gotten so used to them, I hardly notice except when they get dirty or wet.

I’d like to wear single-digit size clothing, but I’m not motivated enough. However, I am motivated to keep my cholesterol down, so that’s something, I guess.

Overall, I have no major complaints with myself.

8
  1. Add about 6 to 8 inches to my height (my height, you pervs! :smiley: ) I’m only 5’ 4" and male.
  2. Lose all the damn body hair.
  3. Lose about 30 to 50 pounds.
  4. Get better teeth that don’t make me dread every dental checkup.
9

Not much, really; I’m a plain-looking middle-aged woman, but that’s fine with me.

Nose: Looks rather like a broken steak knife. Wouldn’t mind having one of those swoopy Kay Kendall noses, but a nose job at my age would be pretty silly.

Bottom half of my face: Thanks to gravity, it is slowly sliding off my skull. Wouldn’t mind having it ratcheted back up a notch or two. Then I think of what happened to Olivia Goldsmith . . . What an embarrassing way to die.

Tummy: Again, got that middle-aged-lady pot-belly thing going on. But so do stick figures like Joanna Lumley and Diane Keaton, and I don’t have the money, time or inclination for lipo.

10

I always say I’m not the type of person who would ever have plastic surgery, that I think it’s vain, and that the pain would never be worth it. Then I take a good long look in the mirror and think, “Er, well, maybe…” I STILL think I wouldn’t, and on the whole I’m OK about my appearance most of the time, but if I go piece by piece, I can find something to improve every couple of inches (sigh).

I’m never really happy with my hair - stick-straight, babyfine and limp. It looks OK in a pixie cut, but I’m tired of the pixie cut. It also looks OK when I grow it long and get it permed, but I don’t have the patience. So mostly I just live with hating it.

LASIK is a definite - right now it’s only a matter of saving some money up. My eyeglasses weigh over a pound, they’re so thick, and I tend to abuse my contact lenses (lazy).

I have a mole INSIDE my bellybutton that has always driven me bonkers. It looks as though I have stuffed a raisin in there. One of these days, that WILL go.

Cottage cheese thighs are the bane of my existence. Dieting is not the answer there, as I really am OK weight wise. And I’ve seen no evidence that exercise helps with cellulite.

Watching Queer Eye for the Straight Guy has made me more conscious of my appearance, so I have been working on updating my wardrobe (my clothes consist of two styles: good for digging in the garden, and good for yachting, but not much in the everyday, casual-but-classy line). And I’ve been taking better care of my skin, paying more attention to my makeup, and buying sexier shoes.

11

I’ve mastered my hair …it only took nearly 3.5 decades.

Face: maybe some of that chemical peeling. I actually have fairly excellent skin, according to the dermatoligist I saw last summer. **Sunscreen ladies, it is your best friend! ** Over-all, I am very happy with my face.

**Tits: ** back to what they use to be in cup size would be nice, but not critical.

Stomach: I will be getting a tummy tuck to get rid of the post baby pooched out stomach. I cannot live the rest of my life 30-40 years with this extra stretched out skin just mocking me. I have lost ( and put it back on in sheer frustration and comfort eating that is required to survive my life.) the baby weight, but the skin still farked up everything. I should be about a size 12, but because of this flab, I am a 16. It is so discouraging that shopping for pants is almost as bad as bathing suit shopping. Within the next three years, I am hoping.

If I get the stomach done, I might as well have the thighs suctioned out at the same time. all the reclaimed fat could be deposited into my empty head, and then I would be a genius.

12

I’d like to lose the cowlicks in my hair, and maybe a little of the gray. The old man hair growing where is shouldn’t and about 25 pounds (get rid of the gut and be more fit overall). I’d get my teeth fixed too. I don’t think I’d change much else except maybe… add inches to my male member for the ladies. :rolleyes:

Oh and I’d get a tattoo (Frog)

13

hmmm…starting with hair, I want mine to grow more - I’m finally happy with the color, but I’m trying to grow it a bit longer (less than chin-length now), so I can do something fun w/ it for my sister’s wedding

my face I’m pretty happy with, though I’d like to have really fabulous skin, that would be nice - proactive is my friend, though, and works really well! i hardly even wear make-up now

bod - I’m in the process of losing 20 lbs, despite the fact that my bf thinks my belly is “sexy” (I don’t think it is, so it’s gotta go!) - odds are, i’ll stop when I still have a little belly, I don’t want to be concave

i’d make my legs longer, they’re pretty stumpy - then again, so’s the rest of me, so i think once I’m leaner it won’t matter as much

I’d get the laser treatments that permanently remove hair from my legs, armpits, and eyebrows (not entirely on the eyebrows, just until they’re shaped the way I want them and I don’t have to pluck ever again!) - I’m really pale, with naturally very dark hair, so it shows up on me very easily

I’d also have nails that would grow nicely - I don’t want talons, just nicely manicured nails

and a whole new wardrobe - all of my close are “college student appropriate” (ie, jeans, hoodies, t-shirts, sneakers) - I need more class - the wardrobe will have to wait until I’m more securely employed, though

14

I’d like to get laser eye surgery, but my eyes are too bad right now- until they improve the technology I can’t get it done.

I’d like to slim down a little, and I’m working on it. I don’t think I’ll ever be a size four again, I just want to be more toned and have a little less padding. I’m not fat by any means, I just gained a bit when I got married, and I’d like to lose it again. It’s only about ten pounds.

I think everything else is okay. I’m only 25. I don’t want lipo or peels or anything yet. I don’t think I’d ever do cosmetic surgery anyway.

Wait! Just remembered! I would really like it if my left knee would start working again.

15

If I had a magic wand to wave…

1; Undo the strokes of last Sep and related aftereffects. Having a right side run by a government surpluss defective computer is no fun.

2; Diabetes, be gone! Since I am the third generation male (both sides) to get it, I figured it was inevitable, its not too bad to deal with normaly, but combined with number one, is causeing a few more problems than normal. Sufice to say, some spam is getting a closer look.

3; Six inches more height would be nice.

4; getting rid of 75lbs would make the added 6" even nicer.

5; 6" more of Mr. Happy would make the wife happier.

Hair? It’s in retreat. I don’t care. Must be french.

Eyes? So my glasses are somewhat stronger than the repair optics for the Hubble–I’ve come to grips with that

Feet? they make 6.5EEE’s for a reason… :smiley:

16

Rubs hands together briskly All righty then!

Hair: Thicker and naturally black (instead of boring brown) so I wouldn’t have to dye it anymore.
Eyes: Perfect vision, please. These contact lenses and glasses are a drag.
Skin: Kill the acne, even out the tone.
Teeth: Root canal, dump the wisdom teeth, fill the cavities, etc. And since I’ve got a blank check here, they could be a little whiter while you’re at it.
Boobs: I’m gonna need at least another cup size here, maybe two.

Huh. I thought I’d have a lot of things to list here, but I guess I’m okay the way I am. Which is good, because as much as I’ve thought about the boob job, something in me just rebells against cosmetic surgery. (I mean, unless you’ve been horribly burned or you look like the Elephant Man or something.) And I have to admit, if I had boobies, I’d just get myself in trouble. :wink:

17

Whenever I watch Extreme Makover, I ponder this. Here’s what I’ve come up with.

  1. Tummy tuck - After gastric bypass surgery, I have loose skin on my tummy
  2. Upper arm skin removed - see above
  3. Boob lift - see above
  4. Eye job - some fat under the eyes removed and a brow lift
  5. Porcelain veneers - I just don’t want them looking like Chicklets
  6. Lasik - If they would use general anesthetic (not likely) - I can’t imagine having my eye cut while I’m awake, whether I can feel it or not!
18

I am one of those people who has never found their ‘look’ - especially when it comes to my hair. I would love to have one of those sessions with the likes of Trinny and Susannah or the Extreme Makeover people, as long as it was in private.

In their absence, I’ll settle for the old magic wand treatment and go for:

  • straight glossy hair (mine is curly and uncontrollable)
  • a more sculpted jawline (it’s verging on iguana-like at the moment)
  • more of a waist and a flat stomach
  • lose about 20lbs

I can just about live with the rest…

:does the first post mambo:

The fellows from Queer Eye were just filming a show a few blocks from my school. Unfortunately, the young ladies with whom I was accompanied were too starstruck to greet them, so I had to settle for a peace sign from the catty blonde guy with long hair.

Celebrity encounters aside! I’m a little too scrawny, but I’m waiting on the metabolism so slow down, so I might as well enjoy it while it lasts. My hair is downright unruly. Even as a tot, I spent countless nights in the bathtub trying to mix the available ingredients in such a way that they might straighten my hair. Didn’t work.

Everyone wants to be tall. I don’t know where this height-worship came from. Being tall is like any other way one can stand out from the crowd-- it might have its plusses, but they come with people having expectations of you that you might not fit neatly into.

Oh, and I’ve always wanted black hair and blue eyes. I think the lead singer of some flash-in-the-pan band got me neurotic about that. :smiley:

Thanks.

I’ll start with my feet. I had surgery on both my big toes’ ingrown toenails, but the right one grew back. I would like my toenails to be straight and thin, instead of thick and yellow and curled under.

My legs are ok, even though I have a bit of cottage cheese thighs.

My stomach!!! And hips. I quit smoking and started Depo Provera, and I have gained a bunch of weight. I would love to lose 50-60 pounds. (Without the work! lol)

My boobs are ok, but I could stand to have them smaller. Which they would do if I lost the weight naturally.

My non-existant chin and jawline. I’ve never had a chin, and now I have rolls of fat under it.

My nose is too big. It looks good straight on, but in profile is hawk-like.

And I would love to be able to sleep without my CPAP machine. Get rid of the sleep apnea, please. It might be helped by losing weight, too.

And get rid of this damn UTI! I’ve had it for over a month! I’m undergoing treatment, but nothing is working very quickly.

Wow—that sounds like I hate my body. I’m not real happy with it, but I still think I’m pretty cute, and a little sexy…
