Why do people lose weight for the wrong reasons?

I want to look good naked and be able to be held upside during sex.
And if those reasons are wrong, I don't want to be right.
who doesnt want to have sex upside down??
Does doing a handstand while having sex at the same time count as being upside down during sex?0 -
I don't back down. I stick to what I said, losing weight for a short term goal and not committing to a lifestyle change = failure in the end.
So talking to you is pointless.

I'm trying to picture this in my head. Which party is doing the handstand?0 -
Don't get me wrong, I want to look good naked and have hot crazy monkey sex, too. BUT it's not my primary motivation to lose weight. The main goal is to be healthier and commit to a lifestyle change. I couldn't give a #$)# about anything else.
I won't lie, looking better naked is my primary focus when I hit the gym, or pass on the donuts or have one drink instead of 12. I know that as I get closer to THAT goal, that the others will happen as well. That's why I lift and do cardio as well as pass on the yummies. But I'm vain, I want to look in the mirror and like what I see. Doesn't mean I'm aiming for 10% body fat, or a six pack (though that would be nice). But to be comfortable in my own skin. And vanity doesn't have to be a bad thing.0 -

Your reason is not superior to anyone else's, it's just yours. All that matters at the end of the day is that it works, not your motivation behind it. I joined here and started losing weight because I was sick of thinking "well, if I had all day I'd be a skinny ***** too."0 -

Yes it does, But I can't do a handstand either, so that's where the lifting comes in, to build strength. And if it's YOU doing the handstand, then what's my motivation for getting stronger or thinner??

Who cares if someone is doing it for what YOU perceive is the wrong reason. Maybe to them its the right reason. Weight loss is a personal thing and you really don't have a right to judge someone on what they think is best for themselves. Live YOUR life and move on.0

It's always a party when doing a handstand.0 -
How is losing weight because you want to look good in a wedding dress (or any other dress) not doing it for yourself?0
-
I'm thinking about those people who think they need to drop pounds just to fit in a smaller sized wedding dress or they do it for anybody other than themselves. Seems stupid and self-defeating, you should lose weight just for yourself and to make a lifestyle change. Thoughts?
Will probably get another blackmark, but this .gif is too appropriate.0 -

I don't think that anyone's reasons for losing weight is anyone else's business. My thyroid stopped working about a year before I got married and my wedding pictures show me bigger than I ever was... I wish I could have dropped weight for my wedding because I look back and I know that I was not the most beautiful bride that I could have been. I'm losing the weight now that my thyroid meds are right and I'm working hard at it and to be honest I'm not losing it for myself... I'm losing it for my kids... but truth is that I'll probably be more successful now and long term than you because to be that motivated for someone else takes a selflessness that you don't seem to understand. As well, you don't seem to understand that anyone can pick any reason to lose weight and still make a lifestyle change - it's all about determination and motivation.0 -

Ah, yes, if this is what was initially said I would have totally been on board.0 -
One of OPs inspirations:
"Get back into my "skinny" jeans (jeans I wore when I was thinner)!"
Pot, this is the Kettle... etc.0 -
Sounds like you're one of those girls who hate on the sluts at the bar too. Don't be that girl.

It always creeps me out when people post stuff from other people's profiles . . . makes me wonder if they are actually a stalker or just have stalker tendencies . . .0 -

Well if you use the wall that frees up her hands for other things. Just something to think about.0 -
Um. I don't hate on "sluts" at a bar, and this is totally unrelated to that. My point is that there are wrong reasons to want to lose weight if it's not a long-term lifestyle change. Doing it for a short-term goal and that ALONE is not reasonable.
I think what she MEANS is that people who have odd reasons like " I weigh 120lbs which is a healthy weight for me...but I am SURE that if I lose another 8 my ex boyfriend will fall madly in love with me again--despite the fact that our break up had NOTHING to do with my size" don't seem to get it.
"I want to look good in and out of my clothes" isn't a wrong reason to lose weight...saying " I want to reduce my chances of getting X disease/disorder" is not a bad reason
See.... you get it.0 -

No one understands me.........0 -
I don't think that a person's primary reason for weight loss should be based solely on appearance. Because being "skinny" isn't always "healthy" and being "healthy" isn't always being "Skinny". So, I definitely agree that a person's main goal should be health. Of course that's just my opinion, and everyone is entitled to have one.

- Looking good on wedding day to look back on pictures for the rest of your life seems like a great reason to get in shape to me.
- It's thier own business. Maybe people think your reason for losing weight is wrong.
Gawd. Eye roll.0 -
Pot Kettle Black......................How is a wedding dress any different than skinny jeans. Taken from your profile page OP

My reason is to be around and be a model for my children. But that is coming from a mom, I would do anything for them.0

Your opinion on this matter is not reasonable. And annoying.0
