    I wanted to be able to wear underwear that were a smaller size than my shoe size!

    To know what I was supposed to look like. I've been fat to varying degrees since I was a young teenager, but I've never been at the right weight for my body. I have no idea what I was supposed to look like as a healthy weight adult. It would be nice to know!

    So I could look cute in sweatpants and a t-shirt and not just look lazy.

    This is a great thing to think about to help stay motivated. The motivators are not listed in any particular order:
    1) to be able to wear zip-up boots
    2) wear a two piece
    3) wear the new pair of awesome skinny jeans I bought that are just too small
    3) not have wavy arm flab
    4) be able to see the contours of my face
    5) look younger, I always look younger when I am skinnier
    6) love who I see in the mirror
    7) to not feel like the fat friend
    8) so that my tummy doesn't stick out further than my bust
    9) feel comfortable in sleeveless shirts
    10) enjoy it when my boyfriend touches my stomach, sides or lower back

    I don't have much weight to lose but my reason for getting fit and losing any extra weight is because my son thanked me for not being fat, he said a lot of kids in his class get made fun of because their mom or dad is fat. He said he didn't have to worry about that. That made me realize how much bullying as such is a problem and the last thing I ever want is for my child to be made fun of because of me.

    So I don't sweat though a shirt at work when everyone is reaching for coats and jumpers.
    So I can have a picture taken of me an not want to smash the camera when I see the photo.
    To be able to have a full length mirror in the house and not have it depress me.
    So I can buy clothes in normal shops and not just specialist places online.
    To be able to wear a wetsuit and not fear greenpeace turning up and trying to put me back in the water.
    For my moobs to be smaller than my female colleagues.

    and stealing one from above to not have my underwear get a permenent crease in it from belly rollover.

    ooh and no more distorted belts from the strain against belt loops when sat down.

    To be able to wear those clingly, body hugging dresses and not have any lumps in the wrong places. (not there... yet)

    Cross my legs without them falling asleep. (Can do this now)

    Go downstairs and not feel my belly fat bounce the opposite direction of the rest of my body. (getting better)

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

    I do this!

    I have a really small neck (I'm 150lb now and my neck is 12in). It'd be nice to be proportional hahaha! Plus, my mom says I have small hands, but someone else told me I had sausage fingers. :grumble: Wait till my hands look fabulous!

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

    hate to burst the bubble here, but I am at GW and I always have to hitch up my britches. I may need a belt, but.....yeah....this problem doesn't go away.

    I can relate to three of these. Numbers 1, 4, and 9. I had received boots for Christmas two years ago, and the next year, my calves were too fat to have the boots zip :( I have chubby cheeks, and I probably always will, but it'd be nice to have a face shape. And I have big arms (runs in the family), so I plan on breaking that family trait!

    So when I walk next to my husband and our shadows are cast in front of us, mine isnt noticeably bigger (AKA wider) than his.

    Aaahahahahaha! I just saw this when I pulled up the page. I'm with you on this one. I'm also doomed because I'm taller than my husband, but there's no need for me to be wider than him, too.

    I have a small head and it makes my body look even bigger. I wear my hair in a pony tail most of the time which is not helping me either but whenever I want to make sure to look normal I let my hair out and try to make it look big so that it can be in proportion with my body. Yes, it is a random and weird reason but I need to lose weight right now. If I could make my head bigger I would but that's not going to happen so I need to make the rest of me smaller.

    omg, this! i have the same problem!!!! and now i've cut my hair REALLY short, which looks great on my (newly thinner) face, but my huge *kitten* still looks disproportionate!

    Having tiny wrists is so annoying. I can't wear like any bracelets I like cos they're too big.
