What's the REAL reason you want to lose weight?

To not end up with the same health problems as my parents.....looking good in a bikini is just an added bonus.0

3 reasons: health, vanity and strength... in that order. It started when my doctor said my cholesterol and blood pressure were both borderline. Not any more!0

There were a few:
1. I didn't want to be the "fat friend" anymore
2. To be 10x hotter than my ex boyfriend's new girlfriend... I LOST the weight, and she seemed to be the one to FIND it.
3. To finally be comfortable in a bathing suit again!0 -
You see those hipbone things? I used to have them. I really want them again. Yep, vanity here!
It would also be nice to not struggle with stairs, and to have the elevated confidence that comes with hipbones.0 -

YES! I hate for horrible men to encourage me into anything but boy would it be satisfying to just run into one of them one day looking incredible and make them eat my dust in silent rebellion0 -
I love fashion and being thinner allows me to shop a wider selection brands and pull off more styles. I feel like I am expressing myself better aesthetically when I fit in a smaller size and the clothes look like they're designed to look.
Only later did I realize what it was doing for my health and that I want to be strong and healthy and able to do everything!0 -
Health. That's what kicked it all off.
But as I started losing, I wanted to be Less Fat. Then I began to dream of Normal Weight. And now, I dare to dream of skinny. Because I want to feel better and LOOK better. Vanity, for sure.
But I'd rather be alive than anything. If they'd told me, "You have to gain 100 pounds to help us fix your liver," sitting down to McDonalds and Dairy Queen every day is what I'd have been doing!
If you're dead, only the pallbearers care what you weighed.0 -
I want to be attractive0

fitting into those clothes, more confidence, tend to be doormattish, others are not like that when heavy but I seem to stand up for myself more when I am thin and feel better about myself. Also changed jobs when lost weight.0

While health is #2, confidence is #1. I am at a decent weight and am relatively confident, but there is always room for more. It's kind of back and forth (aka fat days vs. skinny days).0

i could not get my wedding ring off and had to go have it cut off...0

So I can be in shape to drag that monster buck out of the woods after I send my 85 grain Grim Reaper broadhead tipped Gold Tip Expedition Hunter 5575 arrow through it's vitals... Yeah I hunt and I eat what I hunt.0

Hate not being able to fit in cute clothes and getting tired/sick so much.0
-
I want my body to be as strong and capable as my brain, heart and imagination.0

It has a lot of catching up to do.0

I have PCOS and I was ignoring it before. But I'm at the point where I want to have a child in the next year or two and I need to get my PCOS under control before that can even be a possibility. Plus I have wayyy too many clothes to have to go buy more if I continue the way I have been and they keep getting tighter.0

MY goal is to be healthy, fit, to reduce health risks/medical issues and extend my life span as much as possible, and then hopefully as an added benefit to that enjoy losing weight, fitting into smaller clothes, losing those love handles, dating, feeling amazing, and building confidence. I may never be a size 2, and so thin and skinny isn't the main goal, but I do want to be within a reasonable weight range ... a weight that doesn't define me as obese or overweight. I would love to some day be considered "normal" size. And not just to reach it, but to get there and stay there.0
