We all want to feel good, get healthy blah blah, but sometimes we have less enlightened motivation

    My sister is verbally abusive of everyone in her life, and she spent the better part of my teenage years telling me I was always going to be fat and worthless and nobody is ever going to love me.

    In about 20 pounds, I'm going to be fit and healthy, enjoying the world with my amazing husband-to-be, and she's going to be sitting on a couch covered in empty pizza boxes, in a cloud of smoke, alone, wondering why she feels sick and miserable all the time.

    Yeah, I'm there... There's a guy at the office who outweighs me and he made a snide remark, offering to loan me some of his clothing. I said "No thanks... Too loose at the waist; too tight in the shoulders." and his gaggle of friends all laughed at him as I walked away. I thought to myself... "Damn it! I'm going to lose this gut!!" and so I have!!

    Yeah, there's the need to drop weight before ankle surgery puts me on one foot and crutches. Yeah, there's the desire to become stronger and more flexible and move further into becoming a true yogini.

    But I want to show up at the next con I go to with a hundred plus pounds off, a twenty inch corset laced shut, and hair down to my knees, and watch people who didn't even see me fat desperately try to get me in bed.

    So that if I ever see my sister again she can just stare in wonder and awe!
    And not use my weight to try and make herself feel better!

    I dont want to be the fat sister. My elder sister is skinny as a rake and my other older sister is about to pop with a kid so she doesnt count, but I want to be the skinny one!! I want to be the one everyone ooohs and aaahhhs over!!!

    And I want to be the skinny friend. My friends weights havnt changed since high school whereas I ended up putting on 25kg - fml. So I want to get back to where I was and be pretty again!!!

    When I was younger I had some "not so enlightened motivation" in the form of a terrible boyfriend who always harped on my weight. I wasn't even overweight! But I lost weight to please him. Then I was too thin (I really was) even for him. He was just one long disaster, that one. He's someone else's headache these days. :bigsmile:

    It's terrible, but I can't wait for an old "friend" to see me in my new body. She was so rude, and needy, and childish, and always tried to make me feel inferior to her. She is not skinny, or thin, or anywhere near healthy, and I really want her to see me now.

    On another note, I would gladly help her lose weight and get healthy if she asked. So I guess there is some good in that less enlightened motivation :heart:

    Other than feeling awesome and building my confidence...

    To show my ex-husband what he's missing! Isn't the best revenge to look great? Show him those tramps he cheated on me with can't hold a candle to what he gave up!
