What is your "Petty" Reason to Lose Weight?

If paramedics ever have to carry me out of my apartment on a stretcher, I'm afraid that whatever life-threatening condition I have won't matter, because I'll die of embarrassment at how much trouble they'll have just trying to get me out to the ambulance.

My step father is morbidly obese and has a degenerative spine disease. A few years ago he and my mother were spending the night at my house, but the next morning he was in a lot of pain and couldn't stand. We called an ambulance, they and the firemen that came had to put him on a sheet on my floor and drag him out because they couldn't carry him through the narrow doors and hallways of my house. It was a humiliating experience for him, and I vowed then and there that I would never put myself in that situation.

33 and separated from husband of 14 years back in February. Guys I am interested in are out of my league, so I need to get in their league physically, well where I feel like I am in their league. Im not comfortable dating as I am.

Not related to losing weight, but getting stronger. I want to be able to start the f-ing gas powered weed wacker. Currently I pull and pull and pull and then go inside and tell my husband to come out because I can't start the f-ing thing. Anyone else? Just me?

Turns out I can start the weed whacker now.. yay! Last time I tried it was very pathetic.

OK so I'm not THE biggest person in my new 30ish-person program, but I'm the second biggest by a fairly long stretch. I think the one-bigger-than-me person could be a good friend, because she's sharp and says what she thinks and our interests align, but I don't like the mental image of being the two funny fat chicks together, oh so naturally, in this crowd of skinny, outdoorsy, stylish types (a lot of designers in the lot.) How petty is that? Another guy also threw out that he's thinking of doing the summer in Paris (as. one. does.) and I realized I might potentially be able to as well (or somewhere else) and my first thought was, ugh, I'm not going to Paris a. if I can't wear cute clothes, and b. I feel guilty about every bit of cheese I eat.

Also in France they walk a lot. Dragging extra weight all over another country is b#tch.

i got tired of of being the only overweight person in my family......."which one...oh the big one" is how they referred to me..argh how annoying!

Before, when I would lose weight I would only feel value due to my looks...I've changed that perspective a few months ago...but who doesn't like the attention? Time to work on looking better!

My petty reason is knowing no matter what I put on at my current weight, I'm still going to look fat and dumpy.

Urg- this is me too: no matter how well something fits me when your carrying so much extra weight there is no where to hide it.

Resetting my goals again. Petty reason? I just want to see how much smaller I can get in a healthy way, given my $hitty schedule at the moment.

I'm so sorry your family is like that.

I just got really mad at how I looked in certain outfits. I feel like I can't dress how I want and that I just don't look..impressive.

just_me_p

because it feels good running into people from your past when you look good. stick it to the ex's =p

The last time I saw my oncologist's letter to my GP it said "could not palpate spleen" - reading between the lines it meant I was so podgy he couldn't actually get through the layers of fat to feel my spleen! So next time I go to hospital (12 weeks) I want my spleen to be poke-able

Also I'm bored of being the fat one in all my friends' wedding photos!

This thread’s great!
I’m a teacher and am the fat one in my department (of course no ones said it!). I want to be the one with the great body! And the kids have no filter so i wouldn’t hate it if they also noticed- so I’m my longer the fat teacher! 👩‍🏫

After a week-long logging break, and after maintaining my weight for the past 18 months, I'm ready to start losing the last 20 lbs (or so) to get into the middle of the normal BMI range.

First petty reason: I want to see if I can make my belly button reappear by losing more fat (stupid B belly).

Second petty reason: I want to weight more than 10 lbs less than my husband.

Third petty reason: I want to feel as sexy as my husband keeps saying I am.

It ticks off the people who want you to feel bad about yourself, because they feel bad about themselves. ☺️

My petty reason - I want to pierce my belly button and it actually look cute. Oh, and so i can give the snotty hottie at the nudist resort I frequent something to be jealous about
