"not so enlightened" motivation
Replies
-
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.0 -
Being able to share clothes with my skinny friends!0

Not looking like I am 8 months pregant, especially when wearing my wet suit0

Come on, no one eating to show up snarky co-workers or others?0
-
Having a better body than my 14-year-old students? And being quadruple their age.0

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!!Come on, no one eating to show up snarky co-workers or others?0 -
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.0 -
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!0 -
besides making myself feel better.
i wanna rub it in my mother-in-law & Sister-in-laws face that im skinnier and prettier than them!
well,even at a bigger size im prettier than them! but,still there fat & rude and mean to me! might as well give them an actual reason to hate me.. cause ill be skinnier and prettier than them at the same time!0 -
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!!!0 -
I want to lose the weight and rub it in the faces of the people I went to high school with. They were *kitten* about my weight0

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:0

to piss my mom off, who at about 400lbs tells me how fat i am and how to eat healthy.0

Karma.0 -
The satisfaction of knowing that "he" didn't break my spirit0

to win $100 in a friendly weight loss competition. also, to look awesome naked! 0

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

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!0 -
To be able to do any sex position. LOL0
-
When I go out with friends to a bar or club (or any social gathering, really), I'm the invisible one. They all have wedding rings on their fingers and I'm the one that gets ignored. I'm tired of being invisible.0
-
My birthday that's around the corner is my present motivation, I want to be my husband's pretty wife instead of just his funny wife and I really really don't want to be the fat sister anymore!! I would be ok with just being the older sister 0
-
wow some people have a lot of resentment built up...
I don't have any malice toward anyone that may have helped me realize I need to get in shape... regardless of their impolite technique. Then again no one has ever teased me incessantly so I don't know what that feels like.
To be honest I guess my superficial motivation would be to gain the confidence to go after a stupid boy. I just don't know what else to do...0 -

Well, this is little motivation in the whole scheme of things but...
My husband's Ex and her BF are motivation for me!! Lets just say she is very HIPPY and goes to the gym and doesnt lose the weight (because she STILL doesnt eat well)...while my husband says I look better then her any day of the week, still, she is blonde hair, blue eyes, and pretty good skin...and I just have personal ISSUES with that Stereotype. :-)
OH, and my Mother-in-Law who, everytime I dont go get a 2nd plate at dinner, looks at me funny. Also, I would like my husband to REALLY lose the weight becuase she keeps saying he is pre-dispositioned be be heavy and he is SOOOO capable of losing his belly, ESPECIALLY with all that muscle underneath!!!!0 -
2 years ago sitting in TGI Fridays at supper with my wife and kids, i made her an offer that If I lost 80 lbs, I could trade in my Heritage Softail and get a brand new Harley Ultra Classic. She agreed, we wrote the agreement down on a napkin as we were sitting there waiting for supper to come and the kids both witnessed and signed the napkin. Two years later, I'm finally serious enough to do it. When I make my goal, I'll post pics of me on my Ultra... and a picture of that napkin I still have in my dresser.0

That seems like damn fine motivation to me... although I'm in no rush to trade my FLHP...2 years ago sitting in TGI Fridays at supper with my wife and kids, i made her an offer that If I lost 80 lbs, I could trade in my Heritage Softail and get a brand new Harley Ultra Classic.

I want to shop, for once in my adult life, in the Misses section of the store! I no longer want to be 'plus' sized.0
