    When I was 14 my dad told me I was obese and an embarrassment to the family (clear to say i've always struggled with self esteem issues). Not once has he complimented me for anything (especially weight loss) so I want to get fit and look amazing as a massive F$%K YOU to him! Plus I wouldn't mind being hit on more often, and be able to wear pants from places like dotti that only go up to au size 14.

    i want my milkshake to bring all the girls to the yard
    Is it strawberry? I'll come to your yard for a strawberry milkshake.

    Vanilla for me please.

    ooh fancy, i suppose you'll want a little umbrella in your glass aswell? served by a Bearded Manimal dressed in just a thong?
    (the thong bit is optional)

    I got fit and healthy for my health and for my son.

    Now I just want to drive my boyfriend crazy and not look out of place on the arm of such a gorgeous man.

    to make my haters hate me even more.

    YES THIS!
    I always shake my head at this. Do grown adults really have "haters"?

    sorry..i'll re-phrase for you.

    for people who have a deep and latent dislike for me as an individual.
    better?

    To look good in pictures.

    To look good in a bikini.

    To stop hearing ''but you have a really pretty face..!''.
    Even though it's supposed to be a compliment, I don't just want a pretty face, I want a pretty everything!!

    Yeah fat clothes are expensive. I have many reasons. I want to feel like I'm 25 again. I always look young when I'm thin. I also want all those haters to see the skinny me, especially the fat haters in my life! And I may be married, but I still want to feel like I can turn heads. A girl likes to feel sexy every now and then, right? Just 26 more pounds to go! I'll probably never wear a two piece again because of stretchmarks, but I still want to look good in a bathing suit too!

    When it comes to my private life, I want to turn the tables and be the guy who inspires a similarly fitness-minded lady to show off by running past him on the track while looking over her shoulder to see if he noticed.

    …and I want to be able to catch her when she does.


    Professionally, I want to be the kind of officer who physically gives the troops the impression he can jump higher, shout louder, spit farther, and fight harder than anyone else.


    Basically, I want to up what my physical body brings to the "total package" I already offer.

    I have been trying to lose weight for awhile and have lost 35-40lbs but my most recent motivation is that..
    My ex's wife told me I have a pretty face for a "big girl" which I informed her that I'm not even considered "plus" size so I'm not really that "big". Then I decided I would drop this other 35-40lbs I need to lose and show that b****h what a good body looks like since she's built like a 10 year old boy.

    I love this!

    this is not selfish.

    this is magnanimous.

    I think it would be awesome to catch someone checking me out.

    You haven't had this happen? Maybe you just aren't catching it. Women are sneakier about it. I've caught it, and know their tricks now.

    BTW, I'm checking you out.

    Every single reason I have is selfish.
    I want to look good so other ppl look at me and go "dayummm" instead of the other way around
    I want to feel good cause feeling bad doesn't feel good (yeah. Think about it)
    I want to be the best mofo on the mat when I go for belt advancements or competitions
    I want to be more flexible because it will help me perform better for my competition
    Many more reasons but all for me.
    If you're doing it for someone else you'll never be truly happy.

    Don't get me wrong. I'm here for support. To get support and to give support as much as needed. I love giving encouragement. I'm not an arrogant *kitten*. But I'm making my choices for me. I'm training for me. I'm eating right for me.

    I'm vain. I admit it. I like to look pretty and I like others to think the same thing.

    *bends over slowly to pick something up*

    If they are hiding it, then they are just masterful. It is like I dont even exist.

    I"m mostly doing this for myself, my self-esteem, health, to be more active, and just get fit again because I love sports and outdoor activities.

    Another reason is that, after two decades plus of marriage, my husband asked for a separation, mostly because he isn't attractive to overweight women . . . and doesn't think I can do it . . so a small part is revenge lol, but it isn't what drives me,

    Honestly? My husband had an affair.

    After the initial hurt, I fell into depression.

    Working out helped with the depression. It also was a way for me to burn through my hurt feelings and use the pain I felt as fuel. It was a negative experience for a while until I found positive results. I wasn't trying to 'stick it to' him or 'her', but I was punishing myself for not being 'good enough'.

    Now I've found the strength to stand up for myself, love myself and know that I am good enough, if not for him, then at least for myself and our children.

    :flowerforyou: I'm glad you found your strength!

    I want to buy a corset and look good in it. I haven't bought one previously for a couple of reasons: 1) They tent to go up to "tent" size and 2) even if I could find one that was my size (and not cost me about £100) I would look like a sack of potatoes tied in the middle.
