I wouldn't mind looking like I did BC (before children). I read one time that some women put on, not just fat, but new fat cells, when they are pregnant. It's more common among American Indians, and I am part Cherokee and Chippewa. I've noticed it's not uncommon among Latino women, Central Americans, to have thick waists for the rest of their lives after giving birth, and I fit in that category. But, I never had a slim waist to begin with, my bone structure and musculature don't allow for it. When I was the slimmest I ever was, I was 5'7 and weighed 135 (I got to be 5'8", but never 135 again, 145 was the best I could do.) And my sister's boyfriend suggested that I ask a mutual friend, Lori, how she lost weight, because she used to be "huge" too. I was 17 at the time, and I had an epiphany ~ men thought that muscular women were fat, and unattractive. And I said, heck with it. I am not going to do the functional equivalent of binding my feet just to please a moron.

THe most important condition Terry placed on this regression was the only reason I would consider it--- that is that we would retain our present intellectual selves. When I was my adorable 19 year old self, I had less confidence and self-esteem in that body than I do now in my old middle-aged self- it is only in retrospect that I look back with some regrets on that lost physical form. It was not that satisfying then-- all I saw were the flaws. So to be who I am now and regain the physical youth might be fun, but I would never go back emotionally or mentally.
