If you could change one thing about your body...

Probably tack on a few inches of height. I'm comfortable enough being 5' 6" - that I'm built like a brick shithouse serving to salve any potential concerns of a masculine nature - but it's a little awkward. My growth was affected by a fracture of my femur in early puberty, and my legs are unusually short. Not so much as to be immediately noticeable at first glance, but enough so that short-legged pants aren't short-legged enough.

I'd also crank my metabolism up so I could eat more without putting on weight. I swim 3km daily and it's not enough. :lol:
 
Seems like the right place for a "reduce my penis size, so I'm not scaring off the ladies" joke, right? :lol:

Seriously, I don't know. Could lose 10-15 lbs to be a little more 'cut', but not upset at current weight/height (5'10", 175lbs). Maybe just slightly better health in general? Joints aren't in such great shape (poor knees, ankles, and had surgery for a torn rotator cuff in shoulder last year). Joints aren't bad from carrying extra weight, just always been a little 'loose' with the tendons and whatnot, so a little more prone to tweaking them.

Experienced sudden hearing loss in my right ear this winter (not gone, but volume down to maybe 50% in one ear, annoying), wouldn't mind getting that back, too...

You win a free surgical procedure, and all you want is to lose 10 lbs?! LAME. Do that on your own.

As for the penis thing, I had the unfortunate experience of a high school acquaintance finding me on facebook and telling me how he tore his girlfriend's vagina because his penis is too big. I then decided to block him.

No kidding. Didn't say it was NEEDED, either, just saying I could lose a few, since people were talking about weights. Generally happy with my body, though. Decent height/weight, looks, general functionality.

The hearing thing is pissing me off more than the rest, so would go with that right now...
 
I'd first go with losing weight, but I'm getting there pretty well by now. So I'd chose to be about 3-4 inches shorter, or at least a shorter torso. That way I'd be more comfortable in more cars and would be able to find clothes easier.
 
A decent body can be achieved in a few months in most cases, so wishing for that seems like a waste of a wish to me.
 
I'd love to be taller. I'm 5' even. Ive' never seen the top of the fridge - though the hubs assures me there's nothing up there except dust bunnies!

Six inches would make me nice and medium. . .

God, ain't that the truth. I'm gargantuan from the waist up, but I'm a pipsqueak from the waist down. If I could shave three inches from my torso and give an inch to my legs, I'd be a lot more proportionate.
 
Am I the only one here who would want a third arm, and all the vascular, musculoskeletal, neurological, functional and anatomical complexities that come with it? (I mean, it is just one change at the end of the day... ;))

Think of the benefits.... :D

... oh yeah, and all those immunosuppressive pills I'd need to take to avoid graft rejection... :scream: Still, I think for the opportunity to maximise manual dexterity I think it's worth it. :bolian: :bolian: :bolian:
 
Realistically, laser hair removal -- I love the idea of never shaving my legs and underarms again.

Unrealistically, I'd like my pancreas to work, please.
 
I'd pay real money to be about 75 lbs lighter.

Seriously? If I could make one change--that would be permanent--it'd be that I was a size 6 or 8. I don't care which. Or even just the smallest size that my bone structure would dictate (cause doing both would be two things).
 
I wish my body handled energy needs a bit better, so I wouldn't need to sleep a full 8 to feel refreshed.
 
I'm assuming I can't just ask for an entirely different one, unfortunately. There isn't really one thing in particular that stands out as more offensive than the rest of me, so I'll just say I'd get rid of the birthmark I have on my left hand, since I end up looking at it a lot (what with it being on my hand, and all).
 
Well, it's not easily fixed by one procedure, but I wouldn't mind being a few inches taller. I have no issue with being a shorty, but sometimes it would be useful to be able to take things from the upper shelves at the supermarket without asking someone else to do it for me.

Why settle for a few inches when you can opt for gaining a whole foot? That'll leave you at three feet. :bolian:
