    My ex and I have a kid together and he has moved back into our area. I hate his guts and don't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing me this big.

    I don't have a kid but I am with you on wanting to show the ex what he is missing ya know? Also, I LOVE the Mean Girls shirt on your profile pic!

    My ex is just the worst, and would not think twice about making a rude comment about my weight.

    Thank you!

    I want to be able to ride down in the drop part of my bicycle handlebars and not have my belly squeeze all the air out of my lungs.

    Not weird per se.....I want to feel on the outside like the me I envision on the inside after a hard workout. I want to be the way I feel, all badass and fit and muscular (Grr...I am She-ra!) I am, in reality, a lot softer and less muscular.

    THIS!!!!! I feel sooo badass after an awesome workout! Until I see the mirrored wall on the way out. . . :-(

    1. to weigh less than my husband
    2. to not feel/sound like I'm dying doing most anything active
    3. I agree with whomever mentioned the chafing
    4. more clothes selection - both regular and belly dancing

    I love to bicycle and I look awful and feel uncomfortable riding when I'm overweight. If you're a woman and bike ride, you'll know what I mean. :p

    I'm getting married in August, and while I know I'll still be chubby by then, I don't want to be a gigantic bride next to my 135 pound fiance....

    Engaged and I refuse to look like an overstuffed sausage in my suit.... What was an unexpected result was that my hands majorly shrunk between the time I was measured to the time I got proposed to.... I went from a 11.5 to a 9.5...

    Also I want to cosplay at comic con... And like someone else said, chubby cosplay doesn't look right most of the time.

    I wanna rock a nice two piece Victoria's Secret bathing suit and look good in it! Additionally, I kind of get a kick out of shaming the guys into lifting more weight at the gym. I can't help but smile when they stop to watch me really lift heavy and look jealous. Haha! LOL!

    Clothes in general, but that's not weird (if kind of superficial).

    More specific/weird, I like vintage clothes and there's a cool vintage shop near me and people were smaller back then.

    I love being active and wanted to be more capable and feel better doing the things I loved. (Weird related point: I know a lot about nutrition and triathlon and running and so on because I used to do it before gaining weight and got annoyed feeling super weird when joing in a discussion about running a marathon or some such, which I've done, or even about cooking veggies or green markets or some such and thinking that people were assuming I couldn't know anything about the topic.)

    I was getting back in touch with friends from college and avoided meeting up with one who came to town because I was embarrassed about how fat I'd gotten.

    To have more than 1 pair of pants I can wear.

    Me too! I'm so glad I'm not the only one with this problem!

    I totally had this problem.

    I want to wear boots taller than my ankles since we keep getting massive blizzards again. It's 50/50 if I can get my legs down to that, but it will never happen if I don't lose the extra weight.

    Wearing high boots was a huge one for me too. Specifically, I loved my tall boots in high school and was so happy when they came back in style before I realized I couldn't wear them. I was NOT going to let them go away again before I could buy a pair and wear them.
