What's your 'Selfish Reason'?

Honestly? My husband had an affair.
After the initial hurt, I fell into depression.
Working out helped with the depression. It also was a way for me to burn through my hurt feelings and use the pain I felt as fuel. It was a negative experience for a while until I found positive results. I wasn't trying to 'stick it to' him or 'her', but I was punishing myself for not being 'good enough'.
Now I've found the strength to stand up for myself, love myself and know that I am good enough, if not for him, then at least for myself and our children.

To qualify for a breast reduction so I never have to wear a bra again. And to have the energy to do all the things that I enjoy doing. I am all about the comfort.0

...How is any of this not selfish?
I've never thought, "I'm doing this so my cat will have a healthier owner and be able to point at me when he sees me outside and be like, "Look. Look at that Jim, look at my hot owner. All the other cats want her to pet them."
(If being hot actually made cats random outdoor cats let me pet them I would have lost this weight so much sooner.)
I do most of everything for me.0 -
To bang hot chicks.
This guy deleted me and I would STILL climb him like a tree
This is a joke RIGHT? Im finding both men highly unattractive (sorry no offense dude(s))
I am sure they weren't offended, I am not attracted to you at all and I highly doubt you care.
Plus they said they wanted hot chicks.
.Look, the pic (which has been changed to reflect a rather handsome man) was not a good one, and for a website that FREQUENTLY has forum posts about, Hot, Not, Pass, Bang etc etc etc...I honestly didnt think my comment would be SO attacked. Was it a little douchy YES. Finest moment NO. But, if everyone wants to jump on the band wagon, go for it. I already apologized. Not gonna grovel. If you find me unattractive, GREAT! Maybe you guys should start a new forum about how unattractive you think I am. Honestly I dont care. I just feel bad for the OP of this awesome Topic as it has been (true to form) grossly derailed...
You must be new. MFP members are largely against negative shaming. No one expects you to be attracted to everything and everyone, that would be ridiculous. But to actually tell someone, completely at random, that you find them highly unattractive is an awful thing. Many people here are trying to improve their health, fitness, and physical appearance. So doing something like that is incredibly unkind. Admitting you were wrong and apologizing is a great step, but you need to understand why you were jumped on.
Im really against shaming. I didnt see my comment for what it was. I get it and I've learned from it. Thanks
Well then mistake was made, you have apologized, so let's all move on, shall we?0 -
I want to be that girl that everyone envies at the gym in the yoga shorts and sports bra.0

I love staring at myself in the mirror - LOL... it's ridiculous but I look at all the muscle and it makes me so HAPPY!
I also just love to look damn good
Not to mention my ex's saying "WOW, you were hot before but you're smokin' now!" :laugh:0 -

Yay to petting random kitties!0 -
We're all here ultimately for the same reason - to get fit and healthy - and we all have our altruistic motivations for doing it (to be around for our children and spouses, etc., etc.).
But what's your 'selfish' reason for wanting it? Want to look good at a reunion? Get back at a cheating ex? Women, wear a bikini, and guys, go shirtless at the beach?
What is your totally selfish, shallow, artificial reason for wanting to get fit (lose weight, tone up, etc.)?
Here's mine: I'm cheap, and fat clothes are expensive! I want to buy all the cute small clothes that are inexpensive.
