All righty. Todays theme is going to be vanity. Yesterday we looked at ourselves and noticed the good things about ourselves. Here is todays challenge

Look in the mirror and find 3 things that you would change about yourself. I will open it up and say that it can be either physical or otherwise.

Again, you don't have to write it in here. I will in a couple hours tho. :)

So my three things I would change.

1.) My weight. I want to finish losing the other 65lbs to get to my goal weight of 235. :)

2.) My teeth. I have receding gums disease and it makes my teeth very hard to keep in good shape cause the roots are always getting infected

3.) My lack of patience. I am very irritable in some ways. I would like to find a way to be more patient in general.

So there it is, there are many more things that I would change, but those are the big three.

Matt, first I know you have already lost a lot of weight so a hearty Congratulations!! You are on the right track and will make your goal, just keep doing what you are doing.

Second, I can't wait to see how many daily challenges you come up with, we will all forgive and forget if this goal you set yourself becomes different from your idea of fun on Mingle2, meanwhile...

3 things I would change, this is so much easier than yesterdays challenge. Just proves it is easier, at least for me to see the things I dislike...

1. Wrinkles, far fewer please.
2. Left upper eyelid droop.
3. Wrinkles and dry skin on those hands I spoke about yesterday.
4. Above the knees droop, makes wearing shorts less appealing.
5. Smoking cigarettes, would love to quit
6. Whoops guess I did to many!!

I have an endless supply of challenges. From small ones to major.

I guess I didn't understand your second paragraph

"we will all forgive and forget if this goal you set yourself becomes different from your idea of fun on Mingle2" what is there to forgive and forget?

I just meant we as Mingle regulars won't hold it against you if you are to run out of daily topics OR are to find that you aren't getting the response you hoped for and so decide to just jump into other forum topics and add your own less often than daily.

I for one like your topics and have responded to 3 which I think is how many you have posted.

I certainly didn't mean to imply anything negative!

ooo, I gotcha. I don't mind any kind of responses. It's all about getting people to think about their lives and to push their boundaries. This is a project that I am using to try to look at myself as well.

For now it is time to sleep. I will post a new challenge tomorrow! Thanks for following the thread!

I would change that I talk too much (Damn Irish heritage)
I would like & am working on trying to slim down and get rid of the pudginess.
I would definitely get rid of the grey hairs that pop up (But thats genetic, my dad went all gray by the time he was 45)
