What is your "Petty" Reason to Lose Weight?

KerasFit · June 2018

A petty reason? A guy I was interested in rejected me because of how I looked. But now, I'm doing it so I can love myself even more.

I'm 55 and have worked in a male dominate job for the past 28 years and I am very tired of the boys talking about my size behind my back. One of the well intentioned ones always tells me what they say. So my petty reason is that I want to out fitness the guys. The second petty reason is I really want to shop at Victoria's Secret again and look amazing in lingerie. I may be old but I'm not dead yet!

My boyfriend broke up with me last week out of nowhere, because of reasons no one understands. So revenge body, easier time when I decide to date again. I live in Korea and above a size 6-8 it is not that fun. I want to have fun with fashion and not spend a ton of money. Plus I am going to the Philippines for Christmas.

To prove I can. To look like I used to look do people don’t only know me as the fat person.

To prove to everyone that said I'm a "fat *kitten* loser, and that I'll always be a fata$$ loser" that I'm not.... Particular one person.

I want to not hate pictures of myself. And I hate back fat.

I want to be the weight my driver's license says I am. It's...sliiiiightly off. (I haven't updated the weight since I was 15. It's been 20 years.)

To piss everyone who doesn't know what I'm capable of looking like off. I recently moved back to my small hometown in MS after living in the DFW metroplex for 17 years... due to a separation. I was horribly depressed. I drank too much, ate too much, slept to much, cried to much, complained too much, made excuses too much... well you get the picture. Suddenly 3 years and 80 lbs later...I have begin to bounce back, but noone believes it's possible. I want to wear my size 8 clothes again, have more energy, and flaunt it at the naysayers.

This isn't my first rodeo of depression weight gain, but it's my last. Down 18 lbs in 3 weeks

My petty reason is to make sure my girlfriend halfway across the world feels satisfied enough with me when I first meet her

imogenash91 · June 2018

I don't want to be the 'fat' bridesmaid at my sister's wedding.

ahelgers10 · June 2018

I am done having people think I am pregnant.

applesforanna · June 2018

Mine is to feel hotter than all my boyfriends female friends - lol!!! I’ll never admit that out loud though!

ScrapStitching · June 2018

I just don’t like being the fat one ever.

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.

How rude! I will never understand how people can be so cruel to each other, especially family members. I hope you show them both and look absolutely stunning in the family pics. With their ugly attitudes they will never reach stunning.

I have several healthy reasons to lose weight, fear of health issues and wanting to be around for my family.
My petty reasons are:
for my husband of 31 years not to be able to keep his hands to himself
My youngest daughter is getting married next summer and I am wearing a formal gown for the first time of my choice. I want to rock it!

I want to tease self-entitled men that would have otherwise never glanced my way, drive them crazy and then bail.
