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.

Ruz456

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 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

because i want to wear my 'skinny' clothes again!

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:

alisha232

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.

LD6686

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.

calvert6183

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!

unsuspectingfish

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.

HonkyTonks

Being attractive
Better job prospects
Better health
Better fitness
Nicer clothes

I hate looking fat and ugly.

A couple of years ago I had something very, very bad happen to me. It nearly killed me and put me in the hospital. Several weapons had been used against me, including verbal attacks--one of which was the accusation of me being fat. How on earth could I refute that when it was so very painfully true?

So now, out of vanity and out of revenge, I am doing my best to lose as much weight as I can. After I drop my weight, nobody will ever be able truthfully to call me fat again. If it's not true, it can't hurt me.

Oh, and I will also be able to achieve a long-term goal of having abdominoplasty. Have always wanted it since I was a child, because for as long as I could remember, I've had this hideous pot belly.

Sianarella

The normal vanity reasons but also to help ease the asthma. Plus I want to do Roller Derby and don't want to be a blob on skates.

mummyv811

I'm sick at staring at the copious amounts of clothes in my wardrobe that just don't fit!

And I want a bum like a supermodel! :laugh:

shamika624

I want to shop in my favorite stores again. I hate that people give my husband I a puzzled look like, how did they get together? I want to feel sexy again and turn on the lights when it's time for Lovin!!!!

kelika71

I hate being shy and scared to do things because I fear being laughed at, called names and such.
Ultimately, though, I'm afraid of dying.

amfeierabend74

I want to do it for many of the same reasons as most of the people on here.
have a baby
not die young
be able to buy sexy bras and panties (especially from victorias secret!)
to be able to wrap a normal bath towel around me
to not have to push up off of something when I am on the floor
to make intimate times with my boyfriend even more fun
I could go on and on but those are a few

Because I realized that every little problem in my life comes down to my weight. It may have been other people making me feel bad when I was a kid and maybe that's the reason why I can't accept myself the way I am but what it comes down to right now is that I really cannot stand myself. Just an example: I'm stuck in my crappy job which I hate because I don't dare apply for something else because if I was actually invited to a job interview, I'd be sitting there thinking "Oh my God, you think I'm fat and lazy and horrible, right?" And whenever I buy clothes, the happy feeling of having bought something lasts about five minutes before I realize that there were at least a dozen other pieces I would have rather bought if it had been available in my size.

MumOfGirlsOnly

I hate who I see in the mirror, I look about 10-15 years older then I am, I feel horrible and it shows.
I want to be able to dress in nice clothes instead of baggy shirts or my trackie pants.
I want to teach my kids healthy living. I want to see my grand babies and play with them in the park instead of watching from the sides. I want to look sexy for my husband, an I want to look good for my sisters wedding.

kessalove

I want to be a good role model for my daughter and to get off my blood pressure and anti-depressants meds! Also I want to be that HOT 40+ mama who can pull of wearing just about everything!
