I wouldn't kill for my high school body or my college body. But I'd love to be capable of what I used to be able to do (a standing back flip, walking on my hands down the hallway, ariel cartwheels, etc.).

...she's finally coming to terms with the fact that most of her old clothes will never fit her again, no matter what she weighs.
See, I remain stupidly optimistic that I will one day be able to fit back into the couple of boxes of trousers I still have stashed in the attic. Of course, I need to find at least three hours a day to do the yoga in order to make it happen, but who knows?
Right now I'm growing out of my maternity pants. Now that is a whole new realm of scary.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My high school body couldn't do what I need it to now. I'm not sure about the body I had in my 20s. It didn't start to grow in the right places until 5 years ago. I just wish I healed like a younger person.

I'd kill for my college/high school body.
I'd kill to keep mine away. I'm probably about 35 lbs. overweight at the moment, but back then I was almost 30 underweight and the fat looks a lot better on me than its opposite.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My friend was thinking that her hips are just wider now, no matter how skinny she could get now.
In Batman news, I'm going to kill M. I called him from the bus on Friday to tell him to get the tickets. Did he get them? No he did not. I swear.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Kalshane, if it helps any, I'd have thought you were about 215/220 just by looking at you. You're a tall guy with broad shoulders.

I'd like to have my college knees. But if I have to take some of my college stupidity along with them, I'll keep my shoe inserts instead.

I think my hips are the same. With me, it was just post-kid flab. I'm very afraid of what sort of state I'll be in after Number Two arrives.
