What is your "Petty" Reason to Lose Weight?

I've barely scratched the surface of this thread, but jeez, so many of you with terrible unsupportive family or false friends in your lives. But they always do say the best revenge is living well.

I grew up in an emotionally abusive household where I was always harassed for being chubby. I lost alot of weight as a kid then out of fear due to inappropriate attention I gained some of it back. Now my petty reason is to literally throw it back in people's faces. I want to be considered STRONG. Not either fat or petite (I'm super short yo) i want my parents to see that they can't hurt me because I've taken charge of my own life and I AM going to look good from now on. It's kind of stupid but I want them to to feel bad for what they've done in every way. I want to prove I'm not fat, I'm not weak, I'm not a hypocrite etc9

I always wanted to be skinny so I could more or less ask women that I go out with if they would have dated me when I was fat. Then call them vain if they don't9

So people who haven't seen me in 20 years from back when I was an athletic professional cheerleader (you know, pre-baby) can finally STFU about how much I have "changed ". It's just 50 lbs, geez!12

Casually picking up the small size clothes in the shop while the 20 something next to you can't find 'her size'. It's great to be a light weight

I don't think I am particularly handsome or good-looking, so I want a good body to make up for it!11

The non petty bit is obviously to look good, feel good and ohhh to feel confident in what I’m wearing.
The petty bit - group selfies with my 2 tiny friends where I’m always hiding at the back. Compliments are all “you’ve a pretty face” or “you’ve got a great smile”. I don’t want to be hiding my body forever.5 -

I want to lose weight so other women might find me attractive and want to talk to me. At that point, maybe she'll straighten up, or I might finally start over and be able to find a woman that both fully loves me, and is faithful for once.
Hate to break it to you but she will always be doing herself regardless of what you do to better yourself and mend your broken spirit.
Think about if she is what you want for the rest of your life. Don't you deserve the best?!4 -
I'm not sure if it's petty, but I'm getting married in 4 months and don't fit into my dress anymore. Talk about motivation.11

I just recently completed my associates degree, but in all my grad photos, pro or personal, look like I'm annoyed or in pain, just because of the fat on my face. I want to actually LOOK happy at my bachelor's graduation.16

It's not really petty, but I'd really like to lose weight to help overcome my social anxiety.
I live in petrifying fear of doing anything in public that might lead someone to make fun of how fat I am.
It pretty much rules my life. And it sucks, so I'm hoping that by achieving my goal not only will it be a huge feat, but also a stepping stone in overcoming my social anxiety.33 -

I think a lot of us have felt this way. *hug*8 -

My petty reason to lose weight. I want to look good and flaunt it to all those that put me down because of my weight.9

I just scheduled an appointment with a fertility specialist in October (problems with the hubby). I really don't want them to say I have to lose so many pounds before they will help like I have seen happen to many people on Facebook and delay us even more.10

This is your mom acting that way!? I would be so proud and take you shopping.....sheesh....mother love!
Make her eat every foul thought in regards to your weight loss and look FABULOUS every time you see her!
Sorry but she is a horrible woman
It is, I think she's pretty bitter that she's unable to lose weight herself. I've spoken with her many times about various lifestyle choices she could change to improve her well being but she seems to have an excuse for everything. This is the woman who tries to tell me that water makes her sick
I have every intention of ensuring I flaunt my weight loss in front of her every chance I get if she decides to keep making those comments.GOT_Obsessed wrote: »To add salt to the wound just Ask her if she wants the clothes that are too big for you now.😂😂😂
That might be the best idea I've heard!!! This is going to happen one day 12 -

On that note, I'm pretty sure I lost job opportunities when I was interviewing, simply due to my weight. I'm looking forward to looking good and having classy and great looking headshots for my online profiles too.9 -
Because my husband doesn’t think I can stick to anything. He’s in great shape and he’s been shedding pounds and gaining muscle and I’m still a blob over here. I’ve started and stopped a million times, but no more. We’re having a tough time as it is. At least if I get in great shape I’ll look good if he leaves me.28

Also, I want people to say, "No way you've got kids!" Instead of saying, "You look good, for having kids." Huuuge difference in those two phrases.
Lol yes I completely understand also working on being the MILF, but even better if they can't believe I have kids looking as good as I do 👍6 -
My step-daughter is getting married in October. I know my husband's ex has gained weight since their divorce and I want to make sure I look really good in comparison. I won't be to my goal weight by then, but if I stay on the current target, I'll be down 30lbs.17

I just keep coming up with petty reasons so I'll add yet another. I left my marriage back in February after a good few years of emotional abuse and neglect toward both myself and my son. Incidentally, my ex was a gym rat who was constantly obsessed with his appearance and how 'big' he got. He spent more time at the gym working on his bod than he did investing in his family. During that time I gave up on my own appearance because I was so unhappy. I want him to know that I'm healthier - physically, spiritually, emotionally, because he is no longer in my life. I want him to have the reminder every time he sees me that I'm better without him and while his words did damage when we were together, they no longer can or will.23

Just as important as any other on this thread. After all we all have some sort of motivation.1 -
My petty reason is to look good ... Better than other girls.. The real reason my heart health...6

I was a complete geek at school and the 'popular' girls looked down their noses at me. Now they're all dumpy and boring while I've got a career and on my way to a great bod. I'm still a geek, but a hot geek
