Top 10 reasons for wanting to lose weight?

michab108

I've been thinking hard about my whys. Here's my list:

1. To stay healthy and avoid the condition my sister is in.
2. To have more energy and feel better everyday
3. I want to feel more comfortable in my skin
4. Spend less on clothing
5. So I can comfortable travel again
6. To love my arms and thighs again
7. So I can enjoy taking pictures again
8. I'm tired of buying men's chef coats because the women's coats don't account for fat rolls
9. I want to enjoy looking at myself in the mirror again
10. Loosing weight and keeping it off means I am winning against my mental programming, changing it for the better

My list
1. To stop hating what I see in the mirror.
2. To hurt less. With how big I am, I am not doing my knees any favors by remaining at this size.
3. To be able to buy clothing in "regular" stores, instead of having to head to specialty stores/catalogs.
4. To fend off becoming diabetic for as long as I can. It runs on both sides of my family.
5. To stop feeling too ugly to even consider dating. I know looks aren't everything, but they do help.
6. To boost my endurance/stamina.
7. To redevelop my self-confidence.
8. To not feel so horrible when I have to swim in the presence of other people.
9. To become stronger, physically and otherwise.
10. To prove all the people who were horrible to me while I was growing up WRONG.
