I think any reason that is for self improvment can't be wrong0

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?
yes -- BUT you may have to use a wall for balance ---
Why do I need a wall when my SO has a nice handle on me?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 -

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.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?
- 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
•Get back into my "skinny" jeans (jeans I wore when I was thinner)!0 -
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 -
If appearance is your only concern in losing weight, you'll most likely end up a statistic who regains the weight in a year (or 5) and then some.
How is that true? This is one of the stupidest things I've read on here in a while... It seems your only reason for this post is to piss people off or offend them. Who are you to judge their reasons for losing weight?0 -

I am losing weight for looks, but guess what, I want to LOOK GOOD for the REST of my LIFE! No short term goal there.0 -
I think that if something else motivates you...then motivation is motivation. Whatever it is that makes you wanna get out there and make a change, good!0

Who are you or anyone else to judge what is right or wrong for someone? Each to their own.0 -

OP - I'm sure your neighbor is a very nice person. If she invited you to her wedding, well, what a waste that was. If she didn't <slow clap>.0 -
The reason don't matter if the end result is achieved!0
