my temper changed, i have calmed down alot and dont flip out like i used to. I still do about certain things but not like i was when i was younger. I let go things alot more now and realize its better.

---

yeah and feel we have something to prove i guess.

The other things you mentioned havent really changed, well personality of course changes a little as you get older

I am more relaxed, self assured, and have real confidence. Not just a front..

My periods are more regular, my temper is in check!

my periods are the biggest thing that have changed... but i think that has a lot to do with the fact that i was on the pill for about 7 years and just went off like a year ago

i also like certain foods that i never liked before... which is fun!!!

my period is getting ALOT better. When i was younger I had HORRIBLE periods, i couldn't even get out of bed, getting dizzy and nauseous and the worst cramps. But havent had that problem for a while. About a year ago i had a problem for about 7-8 months where i was getting my period every 2 weeks or every week but that was a hormonal problem i was having. Now i am back to normal and better than ever. Well even before that happened to me last year it was fine for a while too.

I used to struggle to gain weight. In HS I even had to drink ensure once a day and I never broke 100 lbs. HA HA HA that changed.

I also have more anxiety. I can't believe some of the things I did and I had no fear. Now everything scares me.

Omg! Me tooo!! I used to LOVE horror films, I cant see a commercial without getting scared now! I have to seriously close my eyes. DH laughs at me. I used to love going on roller coaster, and i'm more timid about going on them, i still do, but i'm nervous too.

My eating habits have changed too. I get grossed out by certain meats. I can't eat plain chicken, like grilled chicken any more. It has to have a powerful flavor over it for me to eat it.

I am actually more antsy than I used to be. I have to plan everything out. I cant just sit hom. On friday night, for example, I'll ask DH what we're doing saturday, and I'll get mad if I dont know, I dont know why, but I have to be able to plan things out.

Like Tilde I have more anxiety and I also notice I can gain weight alot quicker than I did when I was in HS...

but my anxiety is BADD now like I think about what my kids are going to go through and I feel bad

but also my temper has changed a little, it's weird I am calmer about some things now than I was when younger...and things that I was calm about when I was younger I am more anxious and mad about

I went to Italy with college and lived there for 6 weeks and did some traveling with just a friend. . . now? I am trying to plan a trip to Italy for a wedding and I swear I want my parents to come with me I am so nervous about it LOL

I used to take a lot more chances, trying things, experimenting and now I think of what could happen if I do and it scares me off. boo. LOL

I know what you mean! I get scared on planes now too! I used to laugh at two of my friends when I would travel with them. BUT when I went to Vegas with one of them in the summer, and we had a BAD flight coming home, I am terrified to fly. I am probably going to St. Maarten the end of the month, and the thought of traveling without DH scares me, because I'm like, what if something happens, I wont be able to say goodbye...

Yeah, I'd wait. Prices are actually really cheap though. My mom booked her airfare in may and paid 650, now for me to go it would only be 350!

The only change I have really seen in myself is my patience. I have absolutely no patience for anything.

I guess this is why people who have children are praised so much lol They really need to have patience when you have to constantly watch a 2 year old not put things in their mouths. I have a puppy, and I feel the same way. =(

The only other thing I can say that I feel has changed with me is my personality. I am much more out going and not caring about what people think of me to some extent. When I was younger it would ruin my whole day, where I went would depend on who was there and who was going to 'judge' me.
