    So I can be happy when a picture is taken of me. My mother hides from the camera, so we don't have that many pictures of her. I noticed right before starting to lose weight that I had started hidding from cameras.

    Also ... Hitching my jeans up / pulling tops down - if I ever hit goal weight I better never have to do that again!

    I wish this were true for me. Especially the pulling pants up, it happens no matter what weight I am.

    Sooo many of the things you guys just said! So that I don't have to hug a cushion when sitting, stop hiding from cameras, not constantly readjust my clothes, so my small wrists and ankles don't look ridiculous compared to the hugeness of me, and to not have such gigantic boobs...also to not get diabetes and be healthy.

    Oh, here's a good one.

    To never hear "you have such a pretty face" EVER again.

    To look as awesome as I did in high school. That was the last time I ever looked in the mirror and thought "damn I look nice today!" I was still overweight, but not nearly as much as I am now.

    Related to the above: So I can rock short hair again. I keep hearing that short hair generally does not look good on fat girls. I've been growing out my hair (sorta) for nearly two years now for that reason (and because all my friends think I look good with longer hair) and I am SICK OF IT! I plan on chopping most of it off this weekend so now I really do have to work to get a body that looks good with shorter hair LOL!

    I have so many great reasons to celebrate losing 185 pounds, like no longer having to ask the flight attendant for a seat belt extender, my stomach not rubbing up against the steering wheel of my car, no longer having to worry if my clothes will fit, being able to walk through a turnstile without turning sideways and getting up on my tiptoes, not having to press the up button forever to enter my weight on the treadmill, no longer having a butt so big that my cat can sit back there on my butt shelf, etc. But ... my all-time favorite silly reward is being able to throw my underwear down the laundry chute without them opening up like a giant parachute as they float to the bottom. Hee, hee, hee! That one still makes me smile, every day.

    So that I don't weigh more than my twin sister. Or my boyfriend.

    ditto on the boyfriend! my bf is super trim and fit (seemingly without trying) and i'm so afraid that one day i'll outweigh him. i would be so embarrassed.

    Love it!! That's exactly why I hate being heavy...hugging a pillow when I sit on the couch so I can comfortably
    breath without worrying about holding in my yummy.

    To survive the humid Brisbane summer - I'm used to dry Perth summers and dislike perspiring so much (so unlady like!). Less fat = less perspiration!
    But most of all I really want to be able to wear zip up boots (as others have mentioned). As soon as I reach my goal weight I'm racing out to buy a fabulous pair of boots :-)

    I'm an artist but I don't have people who are willing to pose for my drawing so I have to take pictures of myself for reference, except I don't look anything like the people I want to draw :grumble:

    So I don't have to constantly rearrange clothes and hug a cushion when sitting down!

    THIS. The cushion part. I do this every time I sit down. Even when I'm home alone.

    I have really chubby cheeks and a double chin, whenever I look at myself I think my face looks like I've blown it up with a bicycle pump. Cant wait for my face to look less bloated....

    Three reasons:
    1. To be able to wear "hooker boots" calves are too big
    2. To be able to cross my legs
    3. To be able to wear textured pants and not start a fire due to thighs rubbing together

    And on a more personal note..
    I want to be able to have my husband pick me up around his waist and have relations against the wall...I know TMI

    My feet and hands look so TINY compared to the rest of me. I have these really nice black boots with slightly pointy toes, but I never wear them because they look hilarious with my boot cut jeans and big thighs. I look like a bowling pin about to tip over.

    So, like you, I want my little parts to match my big parts. :)

    This sounds totally shallow and ridiculous, but my reason is so I can date hotter guys hahaha. My personal rule is that I will NOT weigh more than a boyfriend or date a guy smaller than me. So when I'm heavier, I have to find bigger dudes. If I'm smaller, I can go after hotter, fitter guys.

    OMG! I thought I was the only one that did that! I hate cushions now.

    And me, and always stand slightly on one side when having photos taken... pulling my jacket over

    So I can borrow my mom's clothes and not have to spend money on my own. xD

    Along the same lines as hugging the couch cushion: pulling the hem of my shirt when I'm sitting at work so that it doesn't hug my belly.

    And a lot of the other reasons you guys offered:
    -So I can rock tall boots
    -So my boobs stick out farther than my belly - like they used to
    -So I can see my collarbone again - like I used to be able to
    -So I can feel sexy in pretty undies. LOL!

    Because maybe, just maybe, if I lose the spare tire around my waist, it will allow a little bit of butt to show in the back.
    Being a black woman with no behind is sad.
    :sad:


    I will gladly donate some of my tush to you!
    I would be happy to have it!!!!
