Keep my natural self

Other than the assumptions OP mentions in the prompt, I would actually add a prehensile tail... I think that would be a super fun and useful appendage to have hehehe

Ye Ye body that stays perfectly healthy with no maintenance. Would be sick. We are all alive so of course I want me my body to be better at being alive. I want to be able to be poor and "malnourished" but thrive despite that and keep living my vest life without having to participate in capitalism to depend on my wellbeing

I love my body, I am very content with every detail of it, but I would make my tongue smaller in my throat.

It's a tiny detail but it is ruining my life by slowly choking me to death at night. Some nights are good, others suck, and it's a crap shoot.

The vast array of problems this causes are difficult to properly describe, and the damage it's done to my life overall is incalculable.

If that one thing stopped being a problem and I could plan knowing it wouldn't come back, my life would change virtually overnight.

Make myself taller, of course. Probably adjust my wingspan a bit too, tweak my good cholesterol, things like that

i mean yeah, i'll take just having the same body but made of nanites please. There are just no downsides to that: i'd be immortal, impossible to damage since the nanites would just flow back into place, i could reconfigure my body at will, and extremely cool shit like extruding tools from my body (either made of nanites or effectively 3d printing them).

nanomachines son

I'd like to have fewer moles on my skin and wouldn't mind the little chest hair I got to stop growing but other than that I'm pretty satisfied with it.

Straighten my spine, make my chest muscles more symmetrical, straighten my hooked nose, make my beard not grow so far down my neck, correct my nearsightedness.

If adding muscle is an option, I'll take a tight 6-pack, bigger biceps etc.

I'd get rid of my chronic depression, genetically high cholesterol and bony hip impingement.

how many of us would be furries? Statistically speaking, i want an answer.

i love fucking with people, so it's an obvious choice.

Lots of changes. Not much on the outside, but fix breakable/broken stuff, be more efficient, this kind of things. Not having to worry about your own body betraying you seems like a good idea.

I would make small changes untill I sm happy with it.

I would make a small change one month, adapt and learn to live with it, make another change next month, and so on.

I would start my reducing my weight by 2kgs a month and make my psoriasis recide slowly.

I would also make a few old scars start to fade.

Ignoring the obvious "change myself into a magical wolf man which ends up getting dissected by some government agency", probably just a tune up.

There's a lot of mostly minor and cosmetic stuff I'd fix. Removing the need for glasses. Fixing my teeth. Ridding myself of a genetic thing my chest does. Fixing that weird pop my toe does every one in a while. I'm not really interested in being mr muscle strongman who people think women flock to; it's just not me.

Mentally though, I'd like to see about removing my depression/anxiety stuff, although I'm not sure if that's allowed or not by the rules. That's honestly probably the biggest thing holding me back. I'd keep the autism though; being neurodivergent isn't a crime.

Natural body, except healthier. No dry eyes, no stomach problems, no nerve problems in shoulders and legs.
