    Default Back When I Was Young and Stupid...

    Can you fill in the blanks?

    "Back when I was young and stupid, I ________________, and now_________________."

    Here's mine:
    "Back when I was young and stupid, I bought waaaaaay too many clothes, and now I look at them in the closet and think 'what a waste.'"

    They are totally out of date, some don't fit, but I just can't bring myself to toss.

    1. Keep on writing.
    2. Get some balance in my life.
    3. Lose weight. Hopefully 5# this year. (9.5 pounds right now! Yay, Me!!)
    4. Continue to be looking for how God wants to use me this year.

    Back when I was young and stupid I thought eating a bag of Doritos and a bag of M&Ms at the same time was a great idea. Now I still think it's a great idea but know my body can't take it anymore!

    Back when I was young and stupid, I should have listened to my Dad and got an education, and now I'm doing it all the hard way.

    Back when I was young and stupid, I got engaged to the wrong man, and now I'm relieved I figured that one out before it was too late!

    back when I was young and stupid, I was young and stupid! . I bought things like a whole set of weights and exercise tapes for $300 and a pair of roller blades for $200, even though I couldn't afford to buy my own groceries each week. I used these things for maybe a month and then I never picked them up again.

    *It's been over a decade and I am going to make myself use those weights and tapes once I've had the baby
