What is your "Petty" Reason to Lose Weight?

I've barely scratched the surface of this thread, but jeez, so many of you with terrible unsupportive family or false friends in your lives. But they always do say the best revenge is living well.

I always wanted to be skinny so I could more or less ask women that I go out with if they would have dated me when I was fat. Then call them vain if they don't

The non petty bit is obviously to look good, feel good and ohhh to feel confident in what I’m wearing.

The petty bit - group selfies with my 2 tiny friends where I’m always hiding at the back. Compliments are all “you’ve a pretty face” or “you’ve got a great smile”. I don’t want to be hiding my body forever.

I'm not sure if it's petty, but I'm getting married in 4 months and don't fit into my dress anymore. Talk about motivation.

It's not really petty, but I'd really like to lose weight to help overcome my social anxiety.
I live in petrifying fear of doing anything in public that might lead someone to make fun of how fat I am.

It pretty much rules my life. And it sucks, so I'm hoping that by achieving my goal not only will it be a huge feat, but also a stepping stone in overcoming my social anxiety.

More stamina for sex 🤷‍♀️

My petty reason to lose weight. I want to look good and flaunt it to all those that put me down because of my weight.

This is your mom acting that way!? I would be so proud and take you shopping.....sheesh....mother love!
Make her eat every foul thought in regards to your weight loss and look FABULOUS every time you see her!
Sorry but she is a horrible woman

It is, I think she's pretty bitter that she's unable to lose weight herself. I've spoken with her many times about various lifestyle choices she could change to improve her well being but she seems to have an excuse for everything. This is the woman who tries to tell me that water makes her sick I have every intention of ensuring I flaunt my weight loss in front of her every chance I get if she decides to keep making those comments.

To add salt to the wound just Ask her if she wants the clothes that are too big for you now.😂😂😂

That might be the best idea I've heard!!! This is going to happen one day

Because my husband doesn’t think I can stick to anything. He’s in great shape and he’s been shedding pounds and gaining muscle and I’m still a blob over here. I’ve started and stopped a million times, but no more. We’re having a tough time as it is. At least if I get in great shape I’ll look good if he leaves me.

My petty reason is to show all my exes. I'm professionally successful and now I want the body to match that and floor them all.

Also, I want people to say, "No way you've got kids!" Instead of saying, "You look good, for having kids." Huuuge difference in those two phrases.

Lol yes I completely understand also working on being the MILF, but even better if they can't believe I have kids looking as good as I do 👍

I just keep coming up with petty reasons so I'll add yet another. I left my marriage back in February after a good few years of emotional abuse and neglect toward both myself and my son. Incidentally, my ex was a gym rat who was constantly obsessed with his appearance and how 'big' he got. He spent more time at the gym working on his bod than he did investing in his family. During that time I gave up on my own appearance because I was so unhappy. I want him to know that I'm healthier - physically, spiritually, emotionally, because he is no longer in my life. I want him to have the reminder every time he sees me that I'm better without him and while his words did damage when we were together, they no longer can or will.

I don't want to be average. I basically want my body to be bangin....but I eat too much so...

My petty reason is to look good ... Better than other girls.. The real reason my heart health...
