Hello all!

We all know the "regular" reasons to lose weight - become healthier, live longer, etc. Those are ingrained into our heads, aren't they?

Well, what about the SELFISH reasons that we want to lose weight? The personal, definitely not "for good health" reasons to lose. Let's share them and remember exactly why we are on this journey together!

I'll go first. =)

1> I want to lose weight so that someday a random male stranger will wolf whistle at me because I look so good.

2> I want to lose weight so that it feels like I have more room on the bed, without needing to buy a new bed.

Now let's see what everyone else comes up with!

    Just so I can look better than the girls that guys oogle at =P

    Including guy friends and sometimes my boyfriend, I'd love for them to say something about another girl while I just sit back & know that I'm hotter than her.

    =P

    1) I'd love to be able to show up one of my brothers at some sort of lifting (I have 6 brothers and they tend to be pretty jacked).

    2) I want to be the kind of mom that all of my sons' friends think is HOT.

    3) I want to look as good as my little sister who has one killer bod (don't tell her I said that).

    4) I kind of want my husband to have to tell some guy "back off man, she's mine" someday.

    5) I want to look in the mirror and think "damn, she's sexy".

    1) So that I like what I see when I look in the mirror

    2) To be a good role model for my daughter (and for this generation in my family to be the last FAT one - the trend ends now!)

    3) To look stunning on my wedding day

    4) To fit more comfortably in seats (esp airplane)

    5) To enjoy going shopping again

    Most importantly I want to be a health role model for my kids.

    And I want my soon to be Ex husband to realize I not only got rid of him and his alcohol addiction when I kicked him to the curb, but I could overcome my addiction to to FOOD.

    I want to be a M.I.L.F.
    And I want to have ABs.

    I want to not be the short, fat, ugly one at the next family get-together. I can't fix two of those but I might get my mother to stop telling me to suck in my gut.

    I am tired of living recklessly. To be honest, considering the abuse I have put this body through, accidents, alcohol abuse, smoking, and overeating, it has treated me very well. I am nearing 40 and that will end eventually. I would like to start taking care of it before it is too late.

    When I travel, I want to not be the "fat American" but as hot as the Americans on TV. You know what I mean?

    I'd like to have my pick of guys. That sounds horrible, but you said selfish, right? For once I'd like men's attention to be on me because they find me attractive. Sometimes I think guys don't even see me as a female. >.<

    I want to be a success story, and get that reaction ten years down the line when people say "you never weighed that much! you're tiny!"

    I want to be able to do parkour. (hence my ticker). When (not if) I do parkour, I am going to show off soooooo much. :)

    My original inspirations for losing weight actually were the following:

    1 - be more attractive to the opposite sex

    2 - to make those who burned me in my past really think twice about what they missed out upon

    The health reasoning has come to be a major factor since I started, but that was my initial rocket fuel.
