    What's stopping you from having it?

    A combination of unrealistic wants and laziness. I'll never be the Superwoman that I am in my head, the one who's fit, eats well, cooks everything from scratch, has a well paid job that she loves and causes her no stress at all, a nice house and 2.5 kids and can afford everything she and her family wants, but I know I could have some of those things if I tried harder. Just not everything absolutely perfect at once.

    So list them all in order of priority like this along with what you need to do to get it done. See if there's any easy wins:
    1. Top
    2. Less top
    3. As much top as Kiera Knightly
    4. Bottomish
    5. More bottom than Jennifer Lopez
    "Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)
    "We were born and raised in a summer haze." Adele 'Someone like you.'
