What is your "Petty" Reason to Lose Weight?

Well...
I want my underwear to fit on my crotch again. Apparently my weight gain stretched out the crotch area and it was highly uncomfortable. I didn’t want to go buy another bigger size. So the next ones I buy will be much smaller and I’m fine with that!14 -
I had no petty reasons for starting my lifestyle change. I legit felt sick af, that decision was for me alone. But I developed petty reasons to keep going. Mostly surrounding my MIL and SIL who would make snide comments on my progress.
MIL: "Don't get to happy with yourself, you'll just lose motivation like I did"
SIL: "a few more pounds and you won't be ugly anymore"
Etc, and so on. I take sooo much joy in the fact that SIL (who was really thin at the time) found all the weight I lost and just traded me her smaller clothes for all my plus size ones lol.
Wow :frown:12 -
I want to look good naked. Simple 'nuff. Haha! When my husband and I first started dating I was a tiny thing. Now, 10 years and 2 kids later I'm up 40+ lbs and would love to look good for him again!21

I’m tired of buying new summer clothes every year. And I don’t want to be the fat mom.16

I want to run around the pits in my sports bra and not feel the need to "cover up" all the time on those 100+degree hot days at the track.
And a teensy tiny part of me wants to be back to my old weight so if/when I run into my (now much fatter ex who had a lot to say about my weight gain despite his obvious flab increase) I can be reminded of how much better my life is without him in it - mentally AND physically.29 -
I may be the oldest mom in my kids' classes, but there is no way I'm going to be the heaviest.28

I enjoy being flirted with. I want to be told that I'm lying about my age because 40 year old women aren't "hot".17

I just want to be hot honestly. I mean, yeah the health aspect of losing weight is cool too but I've never been hot hahaha19

I don't want to look stupid or feel guilty for taking gym selfies. I don't want to hate the photos and delete them because of how huge I look15

There's a Tinder related meme that goes:
"It's all fun and games until I *kitten* your dad"
I want to be that dad.21 -
I’m getting married in September & my dress is a bit snug now13

I don't want to be the heaviest guy in the room. I've always been the funny fat dude, but why not just be the funny dude?35

Because you’re gorgeous! And they are miserable lol6 -
