    I want my boobs to get smaller. They are HUGE and annoying and I am so done with them!

    Soooo done with mine toooo! And to sit comfortably on an aeroplane!

    Thought of another reason:

    So when I decide to wear corded jeans, people can't hear me coming due to the noise my thighs make rubbing together.

    I remember when I was slim and objectively more attractive, that it DID seem to give me an edge in life (better service, etc). I wondered back then in at least a couple of those interviews, if I'd looked a little better, if that would have been all it would have taken to land the job. Several jobs I applied for were a perfect fit I thought, and I know I was absolutely qualified. I'll never know but if that ever happens to me again, hopefully I won't have to wonder about that part!

    This is one for me as well. I do a lot of contract work in my industry so I am constantly unemployed and interviewing between contracts. The last few I have gotten significantly lower pay and I have been passed over for things that I was 'perfect' for more times than I can guess. I don't remember this being a problem when I was smaller.
    did it so I could fit into restroom stalls easier :laugh:
    This too.. We have a winter festival here every year and the only places to go to the loo are in the 'porta-potties' Last winter I had the worst time using them! This year will already be better ;)

    My reason is just to feel better and like looking at myself again. I won't even go to my doctor for a check up because I don't want her to weigh me.

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

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

    I thought I was the only one too! :laugh:

    Same here!

    A huge thing for me lately is being able to buy boots and they fit around my calves!
    Last year I couldnt find any that fit as my calves were too big and I refused to buy wide-width!
    LOL

    ^^This. I never though of my calves as fat until I try on boots. Good thing I live in Florida and don't really need to wear them.

    I'm tired of walking around sucking in my gut! (doesn't work, but makes me feel like it makes a difference!)

    So I don't have to wear my leggings pulled up to my bra to avoid muffin top....so I can stop untagging myself from pics on facebook due to the dreaded double chin...so I can wear a little thong without looking like I got tangled up in cheese wire!


    I love it, these are things I suffer with too.

    I've never really admitted this out loud but the reason I started losing weight was I got tired of my *kitten*-crack sweating and chaffing.

    #1 weird reason. . .I like it when my rings kinda spin around on my fingers. . .dumb, but true.

    Me too, I thought I was the only one!

    Another random reason, being able to wrap the towel all the way around me when I get out of the shower.

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

    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.

    Another one of my reasons, I never want my kids to be embarrassed by me.

    Picking up something from the floor without practically falling on my head.

    So I could sit in chairs without worrying about breaking them. Breaking a friend's chair was the final straw for me.

    I want to be able to cross my legs, and for my thighs not to rub together and chafe...would like to wear a summer dress without having to wear spanks underneath!

    I want to match my ankles & wrists too!
    I want to fit back into my wedding ring.
    I want to get into those size tens again without a VBL! (Almost there)
    I can not remember the last time I wore a single digit size...must have been junior high? How cool would it be to do that again?!

    I have to say, I like my big calves. Yes, they make finding boots hard, but I've always had big calves (even when I was smaller). I remember in college some guy commenting on my strong legs because of my calf muscles. So I don't mind them one bit (and am actually kinda proud of them!).

    Because at my age .. (46) I don't wanna look like the typical "mom". Hate the stereotype of Mom's once they are in their 40s and over just look their age and have that motherly pudge about them ..

    Currently .. 5'4 - 112 lbs .. and DAMN proud to be that way! :drinker: :bigsmile:

    (yes .. I might be a little vain) LOL

    So I don't have to buy pants a whole size larger just to accomodate my saddle bags (and then have them taken in at the waist)

    So I don't have to stand behind other people in group photos.

    So my shorts don't ride up because of my thighs rubbing together when I run.

    I want to be able to wash my feet in the shower without practically falling over the side of the tub. That dancing on one foot and washing the other looks like a spaz learning how to line dance.

    My weird reason: I don't like going for the "female" exams every few years. I'm embarrassed :(

    1. So I don't weigh more than my SO.
    2. When I go to Disney next year, I don't want to be a heifer like I was the last time.
    3. My wrists and ankles are small, too.
    4. I can hide from my dog! (We play hide-and-seek, and I'm sure sick of hiding behind doors and beds, but would like something different!)
    5. So I stop looking pregnant! Seriously, all my weight gathered in my tummy, and I look at least seven months pregnant.

    My reason was so I could see my collar bones. Seriously. I always envied anyone who had them showing, so I worked hard to get there. It worked.

    OMG! ME TOOOOO! i think collar bones are sexy! i know that sounds weird. but i am totally excited that mine are starting to show. :)

    I feel the same, collar bones ARE sexy! I can't wait for mine to show again! That and my hip bones. *sigh* I can't wait for that. Not for them to like, jut out but for them to at least be visible.

    So I can feel more comfortable sitting at my work desk all day. It's much better when I'm not constantly worried about my clothes being in place and the fat isn't pulling my stomach forward :noway:
