Why do you honestly want to lose weight!?

Cold_Steel

*Confidence*
*Not fulfilling every fat stereotype*
*Getting healthy for my son*
*Body Boarding - Yeah my board has like a 250 weight limit... wasn't happening at 370*

I want my girlfriend to drool when she looks at me! and I want all my exs to do the same.

I want to turn heads at the beach or pool parties with a ripped body, to not be known as the big guy but as the fit guy which will give me self confidence in myself which will affect every other aspect of my life for the better

I want to keep weight from interfereing in every aspect of my life. I want stop thinking that every person I meet thinks "Geez, she's fat, she can't be good at very many things". Because, being fat translates into being so much less of a person. Seriously, they've done studies on what people think when someone is overweight vs normal weight. The more attractive someone is the more others will try to be their friend, help them, like them etc. I want to wear a bikini for the first time in my life. I want guys to look my way when I walk in the room. And I want to be healthy enough to have another baby. It's for me, that's why I want to loose weight!!!

Yup! I've lived that, growing up over weight getting the raw end of the deal, not even good customer service I learned to be weird to get attention lol, Then I lost all my weight and BAM! all of a sudden I'm seen even at family events I was cerclud by the family that wouldn't "hear" me when I would say something, then after the weight "oh Jess your so fun to be around" and yea you get so much better costumer service when you look good, open doors random conversations, I spit at this disgusting world, patowy**

I just don't want to be a Fatty fat fat fat. All the health and energy benefits are hommus on the carrot (icing on the cake). I'll never be skinny mini, but I just want to be normal

Because I miss the compliments I used to take for granted. I'm far (very very far) from what anyone would consider gorgeous, but once upon a time people just used to compliment me...tell me I was beautiful, stunning, a goddess (okay, that person may have been a little drunk) whatever. And I think, honestly, that my confidence had more to do with it than anything. Right now, that "hold your head high and strut your stuff" confidence is buried under layers of lard. Lucky for me, my husband still thinks I'm beautiful, but I want ME to think I'm beautiful, too.

The health stuff? Sure. I want (and NEED) to be healthier, but that comes with the territory of losing weight, exercising, etc.

THIS EXACTLY ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm on the same boat with you right now. I've been living this discriminating life especially with some stupid nosy relatives who used to tell me that I'm so fat (as if I don't know it) & now that I'm in shape suddenly I feel that I'm no longer "invisible" & these same relatives would always go near me like a magnet to tell me "Oh you look good" or "What have you done?". I hate it so much :grumble:

Honestly I want my old body back. I gained 60 pounds durning my pregnancy, my son is 2 months old now. It was so hard to watch my body change so much so fast. I want to feel good about myself. On top of that, I am in the army and if I don't lose this weight I will fail my physical fitness test and can be kicked out. This weight needs to come off so I can support my son, and prove to myself that I can do it.

I want to be fit enough to chase after my 12 week old daughter once she starts walking. I want to show my sister that she isn't the only skinny one in the family. I want to feel sexy and have my partner say wow she's mine. To not feel embarrassed going out for a meal or shopping.

Surely a lot of it is also about how society makes people feel if they're not the perfect body shape? I struggle with whether I'm truly doing this for me or for a social ideal of who I should be.

The real reason for me is im tired of women being rude to me and saying "ewwwee gross, your fat" when im standing there or if they look at me and i just say hi. Yes, women do this to guys alot. Its not good. There is a level of respect and treatment you get when people are thinner. I dont know why its that way but it is. I want to be respected and not have rude comments made to me becuase I am chubby.

lollypop_ginger

My reason for losing weight is just to be slim! I've been overweight since I was about 4 years old, I don't remember ever fitting into anything less than a size 16- I want to know what that feels like! obviously, becoming fitter and healthier are both great side-effects of that, but they're not the reason I'm here

i have to say this: " i am so sorry on behalf of all the female population if they really are saying this to you that is just down right rude...... they are insecure in themselves if they are saying this to you..... xx

theroadto100

because i feel ugly at this weight

martymum

Because I want people to stare at me in a good way!

I want to feel pretty for the first time.

I want to be strong so if the world does end in dec I'll be ready....lol

I want my boys not to be embarrassed by the fat mum at school.

But mostly cos I want to look as good on the outside as I feel on the inside...it would be nice if the 2 matched

martyxx

WhyeatKachra

To pick up any dress I like and not give a second thought if it would look nice on me!

lenny776

I want to look good naked!

I do want to be healthy (actually, I have gotten quite healthy compared to where I was), but also so I can put together better cosplay costumes. It's also sort of an experiment in whether or not I can actually get and stay under 200, and whether I'll be happy when I am.
