What is your "Petty" Reason to Lose Weight?

The father of my child has made my life hell for the past 3 years, ever since he met his current, incredibly insecure wife. They’ve brainwashed my daughter into believing I lie to her constantly and he has had the gall to tell me many times that his wife is now my child’s mother and she is closer to my child than I am. My poor child is caught in this bullsh*t, and the stress of dealing with them is a huge part of why I gained weight in the first place.

I’ve done my uttmost to take the high road, and repressing my rage at this a**hat has eaten me up inside. I’m taking control back. We’re headed to court, and I want to walk in there intimidating as f**k. I was to scare the bejeezus out of his b*tch wife. It’s my time now.

You should take boxing or something. It never hurts to expel rage by hitting something instead of eating.

Because I don't want to be the fat friend/sibling/child. Because I want to wear cute clothes. Because I've always been overweight and I just want to look good for a change

My brother is a fatshamer, he does ironman events, 3 peaks solo, all that stuff. I want to be able to stand next to him and say "remember when you said I was fat and ugly, well now I'm just ugly!"

I don't want to have to breath in all night when I'm out.

I don't feel like buying new clothes....unless it's a reward for getting to a smaller size!

I want to turn my floppy disk *kitten* into a firm, round *kitten*, naked and clothed, so that my future boyfriend will enjoy it too. God I hope we're mostly adults here.

That no guy will ever even attempt playing the "she's fat and ugly and will settle for anything so I can treat her like *kitten*" card. I'm quite sick of that. I want to be the whole package, single or in a relationship.

Totally on board with this, I have clothes in my size and in smaller sizes I need to get into, and once they are too big for me then it is shopping time starting with a tailored suit.

LOL ME TOO!! By the time my youngest starts school (2 years) I want to be done being the sweaty, frumpy mom...

I want to fit into the cute clothes in my closet. I also want to turn heads when I’m at the beach.

Confidence...true confidence and not the facade that others get to see.

My petty reason is I want to rock a body at 46 (47 by the time I reach my goal) and make all the younger people’s jaw drop when they see a grandma in a bikini. 😊

My boyfriend is slim and fit, I look so fat next to him. I'll make us the fit couple.

I think I answered this last year but that got me nowhere. My petty reason is I feel like the only 23-yo that wants to LOOK their age. I feel like I'm playing dress-up whenever I dress professionally because I feel like a clown in those tents.

Because I am fed up looking for motivational threads on MFP. I want to be the motivation.

1. I want my husband to have a trophy wife.
2. When we decide to have children, I want people to know that I'm pregnant and not just fat 🤷‍♀️
