    To regain my health - no more daily meds
    To shop in any store I want
    show practice what I preach to my son. "Got to make good choices" "Got to take care of yourself"
    To look hot :devil:

    and finally.... To look hot...yep, I like that one.

    I want to lose weight so that I feel better about myself. I want to feel confident and comfortable in my own body.
    I want to be called a MILF. Yeah its degrading sometimes with labels and sexual ratings like that, but I want my husband to be able to say "that is MY sexy wife" and feel like I deserve to be called sexy.
    Secretly I want to be the littlest sister. I'm the oldest and was always the chunky fat sister. I will be the skinny thin sister!

    I want my children to grow up knowing that exercise and good nutrition is vital and key to a healthy life. I will NOT be an embarassment to my children any longer!

    Because the food I eat is basically the only thing I have total control over in life.


    I too used to think this way. It was a dark, scary time. I hope things get better for you.

    You have control of your health...mind..and the ability to make a difference in someone else

    I hope you find your way out of the dark

    I hated feeling stomach rolls under my seat belt in the car.

    I hated shopping.

    I hated my fat face in pictures.

    I hated pictures of myself in general, really.

    I hated seeing people from high school because they knew me when I was fit, and were probably like, "Wow. What happened to her?"

    I basically hated myself.




    Glad I don't totally dislike myself anymore...I enjoy the path I am taking towards a long, happy, healthy life.
    :heart:

    oh no no no no no. I am no longer there. I USED to be, so I know the signs, but have thankfully made my way out of that dark place. I can only hope others will, too.

    I've been using my weight as a buffer to protect me from the world and I'm done with that nonsense now.

    originally because of health problems which began to arise (at 118-124 pounds). ^-^

    when i got down to my original 105 pound weight, realized i wanted to improve my body further for aesthetic reasons~which is why im still here. ^o^y

    oh and obviously im a legal midget which is why 118 lbs causes health problems for me haha :P

    - To feel more feminine. I'm a huge nerd and always just been one of the guys. (seriously, I'm majoring in building and programming robots at a top-notch university, I have three game consoles and I read incredibly fast)
    - I want to be fit to cosplay my favourite female characters
    - I love Japanese fashion, which sadly is very petite, therefore I too must become petite.
    - In-your-face to the family who's settled in on they/I will never get fit, it's not in our genetics.

    this too. most fashionable japanese girls and guys (from my observation) are underweight. ^^

    I have no qualms with using a Japanese size large, which should fit me when I reach my ideal skinnyness. At least I'll get to buy it in shops. Also, asians in general have smaller frames than us westeners, biologically speaking. Oh, and models are most of the time underweight to begin with ^^;
