1st mistake: thinking 1 guy and 1 guy alone was the key, the be all and end all, to my personal happiness. CLASSIC MISTAKE!!!!!! What a dum dum/ what a typical mere mortal full of human frailty. That mistake set me on the path to seek answers to why I had crashed and burned so bad. It sent me to the self help section and a journey of healing that amazingly not everyone has done. It gave me much more wisdom than I had before. It taught me things I was completely ignorant about in my childhood. Which brings me to my childhood mistakes:

#1: Expecting my dad should come to me first, know how to connect with me and give me what I craved emotionally. 

Instead, I should have took an interest in him, saw things through his eyes, and generously took an interest in his interests to connect with him. I believe this is a common error in relationships. No one wants to give in and see the problem through the other person's eyes. Sometimes one must Lose to Win. 

#2. Not expressing more physical and verbal affection and love to my parents. Hugging them, telling them I loved them etc. I was stiff and shy and so were they to a certain extent. Again I could have changed the dynamic by going to them first. I craved this physical and verbal affection but did not know how to get it from them. It starts with you. 

#3 Not researching and reading books about my diet choices. I had an instinct for vegetarianism but didn't do any further research about the philosophy of it all. If I had I'd have been v**** 18 years longer. 

#4 Not being more transparent about my emotions. Suppressing, shutting down, closing off. 

#5 internalizing body shame and not educating myself about body positivity, feminism and other ways our culture wrongly shames women and fat people.
