Why do you honestly want to lose weight!?

fj211

I was tired of feeling invisible. Tired of lugging around all that extra weight. Tired of hating how I looked. Tired of hating how I felt. But mostly I was tired of feeling like I was worth more and not having the strength to do anything about it. One day I just decided that I was worth it . . . .

Great post !!!

I had major back surgery just a few weeks before I turned 13. It's been downhill after that. The surgery didn't have the good effect that we all hoped for (my family and I). I have a boatload of arthritis, and it makes it hard to move. Some days are worse than others. A doctor said that the rod fused to my spine had been left just a little too long and that's what caused the arthritis. In order to fix it, I would have to go through another surgery and he wouldn't operate on me while I was that heavy. The doctor tried to be nice about it by saying 'you're not really that big, but it'd help if you lost weight.' After the first problem with my back, I don't really want to go back under the knife, and it took me almost a year to really kick in gear. I'd like to look better, sure. No one in my family knows what I look like other than chubby. Lol. I want to take off weight so that I can move better. Also, as a side note, I am going to be a bridesmaid in May and I'd like to look better. I know it won't happen overnight and my back sometimes limits what I can do, but I'm doing it. Good luck on your journey!

Mainly cause i want to be hot. Healthy too in the long run. But hot

Because I hate losing it dishonestly?

Because it feels amazing to feel comfortable again. It got to a point where I was so physically uncomfortable. Sitting down and feeling rolls. Squeezing into pants and doing squats so that they'd stretch out. I feel much better now.

cause this pic made me sick plus i want lots more tattoos and i want them on a hot body my fiance says all the time that Abby on NCIS and Danialle from American Pickers are so hot with all the tattoos i dont want an ugly body to be covered in tattoos so before i get all my plans i want to loose this nasty weight

Thanks for sharing this! I had a very similar moment where I saw a photo of myself and went WOW! i don't want to be that girl anymore.

The other reason I want to lose weight is that I want to look hot in a bikini. All my girlfriends are thinner than me and I'm very self conscious in a two piece. I used to feel skinny, and was more confident 30lbs ago. Time to feel good about myself again!

A year ago my honest reasons would be to look better and to be able to shop in "regular" stores rather than Lane Bryant-y stores all the time. But in the past year, I found out that my metabolic disorder has gotten so bad with my weight gain that I am infertile, diabetic, and I have heart condition. So today, I can honestly say that it's for my health. The other stuff is icing on the cake.

OfficerFuzzy

I just want to be a nice piece of *kitten*.

EMarvie

Oh man - what a great question.

for me.. 1) to get on an airplane and be concerned that i wont fit in the seat
2) to ride rollercoasters with the kids
3) to feel beautiful and not have ppl looking at me everytime we go out to a resturant
4) to get fit enough to pass the fit testing for active police duty
5) to feel proud of myself

jellybeanhed313

I want to look sexy naked. I want to do things like zip lining without worrying if there is a weight limit. I want to get as healthy and fit as possible so I can get pregnant one day.

LuckyAng

My clothes don't fit. I'm down to one pair of jeans that fit and I refuse to buy a new wardrobe.

In a nutshell, this. Among other things. Dressing rooms put me in a panic, and I'm sick of it.

icewindfirex

I want to lose weight so I feel happy when I'm clothes shopping, and not about to pull out my hair and cry......and then go straight to the Chocolate Factory next door.

And also? I want to lose weight to say **** you to all those condescending smiles I got when I said I was going on a diet. Those are what made me work super hard

The extra weight makes my back and knees hurt, and I hate the way I look.

yep i had a pic of me two years ago that i put on my profile on here that scared the living crap out of me..couldnt believe i looked like that and realized ..wow no wonder i have all these health problems

MILFdoesabodyGd

Because I lost 50 lbs before and I have gained half of it back.
Because 60% of the beautiful clothes I have don't fit and look beautiful on my body.
Because I see pictures of myself and think.....how did I let myself go?

living with a man (boyfriend) who loves to eat was my downfall. Still is a struggle. I also cannot motivate myself to get up and do a 30 minute workout.

My main reason is because I used to be skinny, and I want to feel like that girl (now woman) again. I feel like I have lost a part of myself, and I'm happy with every other part of my life.

I also want to have a single digit as my pants size again. I'd been hovering around a size 10 for a while, and this year I had to up it to a size 12 (gasp, for me. My sister is like a 2 or 4, used to be a 0). I want to be an 8 or lower!

I am the biggest of all of my siblings. I'd like not to have to feel that way anymore. They NEVER make me feel bad about myself. They do nothing but support me, but I have always been told that my sister is prettier than me. My mom even made a comment once. My mom is the best, and she always tells me I am beautiful, but when I was around 9 she said something that has always stuck with me and really hurt. She was trying to make my sister feel better about herself, but it was just one of those things that a parent shouldn't say, but can never take back once they have said. Anyway...

And, even though I am happily married I would like to turn a head or two. Every girl wants to know that she's still got it, right?!

I want to feel good when I look in the mirror, to have confidence around all the skinny people in my life, to have massive stamina, to wear less clothing, to make my family proud, to not embarrass my kids when they are teens, to get attention because i never have because i have always been fat, to not always be thinking about my fat

Skmellyg

I want to lose weight because I hate seeing my belly fat jiggle. Plus I want to feel pretty, I want more energy for my kids and I want to be a MILF.

2hungariangirls

because I want to be the figure I feel my husband deserves to have on his side. He has never once said anything about my weight (weather big or small) but I have this picture in my head of what I want for him and I want to be THAT girl in the picture because by God I have the personality

I was thinking this exact same thing while I was pushing myself to run uphill today! I'm tired of it and it has to go! We got married a 100 lbs ago! YIKES! However, I'm secretly worried about the baby pooch that will be left...I'll deal with that WHEN not IF the time comes

In no real 'order',

To be as skinny as I was when I thought I was fat, in high school, and APPRECIATE it this time!

To fit on the rollercoaster, because my kids don't want to go on alone.

To not have to worry about weight limits on other stuff, and size limits (like aeroplane seats).

To be considered for permanent work in my career, where fitness is beneficial, and currently I am seen as a 'temp'.

To be able to run around and play with my kids at more than one minute intervals.

To not be the token 'fat friend' any more.

To get rid of my 'thick layer of blubber' so Summers are bearable. To have a need for a jacket or scarf in Winter.

To be able to buy clothes from the normal sized, fashionable and cheaper section of the store.

And if I am really, brutally honest, to attract a mate.I deliberately gained weight to make myself unattractive after a really bad, abusive relationship. I think I am finally ready to stop actively repelling men and see what happens

KatesAddiction

Honestly? I want to be skinny. I hate feeling big.

MadDogTannen22

Mostly for me. But... a small part of me is hoping to someday look better than my little sister. She once introduced me to someone by saying "This is my sister. See, she looks just like me but fatter!"

Awww, that's awful! I am sure you have many pretty features your sister doesn't have! You are gorgeous!

sbh2781

I just recently had a "routine" EKG prior to a minor procedure, and it came back abnormal. I hate that I waited for something like this to finally realize I did not have a choice but to lose the weight and keep it off!

cupcakemama

Im done haveing babies, I'm getting married, I went to school became who I wanted, moved to an acreage which I've always wanted, now I want to be the best looking and healthiest I can be. I just want to be the best ME, for my children and my finance. My mother died at 36, Diabetes runs in the family...I want to give my children a fun, healthy mother they can be proud of!

donnabeheyt

To be able to by cute clothes and feel sexy again...

What is the reason you honestly want to lose weight!? Everyone says they want to be healthy and because they want to have confidence and all that stuff! Yes I want to be healthy and have self confidence, but I really want to lose weight because of all the people that called me fat or a cow (like I don't all ready know) and whatever else rude things they said to me! I want to lose weight and look HOT and just rock it! I want my body to say look at me now and look at what you can't have! I want to make them regret everything they ever said!

What about you?

I am purely losing weight to regain my health and well being. I have had the hot body when I first met my husand, in the Army and a body builder.

I will get back to that status again.

metco89

I want to feel better and get more active. I am approaching 50 and have been struggling with this way to long!

Canadien

I want to be fit and strong enough to join the army. I honestly don't care about how I look - I'm very happy with my body and always have been. I just need the strength to get through the army's fitness test.

HotBodUnderConstruction

I don't partake in a lot of activities because I lack the self-confidence due to my size.
