...how and why is it that every morning I wake up thinking, "ugh I feel so fat today", yet I go to sleep almost every night thinking "ugh, I ate too much today."
My junior year of college, the discovery was made by some of my friends that I have no chin. More specifically, I have a very weak jaw line, giving the impression that I have very little change between my mouth and my neck. This spawned a new nickname for me, 'Meck'. It's a clever little name that sounds sort of like my actual nickname, but in reality it was referring to my hideous lack of defined chin.
Although I've graduated and stopped letting people call me that, I feel as though it haunts me all the time. I check in every mirror I see and basically gauge the way I feel about my body that day based on how thin I look in the face. And don't get me started on pictures. I hate posting any pictures that emphasize it! I swear sometimes I look like I weigh 20 lbs more than I actually do in some pics that are taken from the neck up. Not that I think I'm so skinny but enough of you have seen me to at least know I would probably be considered a slim person - well to anyone other than (e:Mike)- but when it comes to the neck up, I look hideous.
I know everyone has something about their body or about themselves in general that they are not happy about, and this is obviously mine. I never even really thought about it until that fateful day in 2004 when someone looked at me and said "you have like, no chin."
Ugh. Maybe someday I'll stop caring but I don't see it happening anytime soon.
And when you all see me next, try not to stare :)
and oh yeah...Happy Easter!

vanillia is the ONLY good flavor of tootsie roll. If you SAY cherry I will stab you in the jaw.

I could never limit myself to just one. However, I don't like anything sugar free.

Well it could be worse yet you could fall to sleep wake up and there is someone next to you that wasn't there when you went to sleep and that you don't know.

or you could be sleeping next to someone that snores so loud, you wouldnt get an ounce of sleep regardless. trust me, sleeping alone is bliss, i wouldnt trade it in for the world.

It could be worse, you could go to sleep and wake up with someone you both hate and are married to.

what are you gonna do, get plastic surgery? then I'd just call you Leno for the rest of our lives, and is that really better? and remember that girl from fredonia who really didn't have a chin? she was unfortunate. You are a loser. See the difference? Maybe its cuz I'm your sister but I've never once looked at you and thought that your jawline was weird or unattractive, unless you had food all over it.then again i don't really think about if i find you attractive, thats weird. i have to go to work
you are crazy. i really do have a double chin somewhat. i am really kinda chunky. i wouldnt worry about it. no one is perfect, and im pretty sure i seee that you do have a chin! i did actually know this girl once who really doesnt have a chin, and she looked kinda wierd. im pretty observant and i never noticed that about you so, you are crazy and should stop thinking about it!
I know its hard, but don't worry about these kinds of things... you are beyond it!
thanks paul!
It's there, I fixed it for you - there was a bug having an (e:name) inside of parenthesis.
There is nothing there so I guess that is weird but not the kind of Weird you where going for. Hey maybe the easter bunny took it and is hiding it and you have to find it. Oh one thing I forgot to mention on the previous post is that you ladies not only looked like you where having fun, you all looked pretty good doing it.
um, is it just me or did this post disappear?!?!?!! UGH!!!!!
