What is your "Petty" Reason to Lose Weight?

My boyfriend’s dad has a friend that is a fitness/weight loss coach and he tried to push me into seeing her when I first started this journey, but I really wanted to accomplish this on my own and make it a self-taught learning experience (plus, I didn’t want to have to pay her lol).
I politely declined meeting with her (several times). I ended up bumping into her towards the beginning of my journey and the way she looked me up and down was very uncomfortable. Her judgment was palpable.
Petty reason to lose weight #5,798: The look on her face when she sees what I’ve accomplished on my own. I’ve lost 43 pounds since March and only have 10-20 left to go (I’ll decide that when I get there).24 -

My husband and I desperately want a child and its not happening. My obgyn told me that it was unsafe for me to have a child because Im obese and there is no room for a fetus to grow inside me. She wants me to lose 40 lbs before she'll consider putting me on infertility medication. She doesn't think I can lose the weight...im gonna prove this *kitten* wrong!
Very obese people get pregnant and give birth to healthy babies all the time. If that weren’t true, I would have no cousins (or siblings (or corporeal self)). While obesity complicates and sometimes aggravates causes of infertility; your doctor was either erroneously oversimplifying some valid point[b/] while trying to put it in layman’s terms, or she’s an as$.
(Or both.)

My petty reason is to pi$$ off the type of people which pi$$ed me off.
Just really tired of being overweight and being told I'm not good enough because of my weight. Or being told that I'm emotional when they are pointing out that I'm overweight. Tired of feeling like the fat ugly friend, or feeling worthless and that I am not good enough. Finding clothes is hassle and bs. Its amazing what happens when you put on weight. Was slim throughout my teens. You see the world differently. Losing weight I will find my voice again to tell these ppl to f*** off or any similar minded people :)because this world is changing to a very shallow materialistic world. Oh and the aim is to look good naked.
I'm seeking new friends, looking to motivate people and to be motivated. Feel free to add me. hope my rant hasn't put you off16 -

I totally understand. Going through something similar. The constant thoughts of anger mixed with stubbornness, determinatation and the will I needed to do this somehow kicked in.

I want to wear one of those "sexy santa" outfits for my hubby and feel good in it. Also, I'd like to wear a slutty halloween costume at least once in my life.13

I know that many of us choose to lose weight because we want to have a healthy lifestyle and feel better about ourselves, but c'mon, we also have "I'm going to stick it to X" reasons.
For me, it's because I don't want to be the fat gay cousin. I want to be the hot gay cousin. I also want people's minds to be blown when I can lift heavy boxes by myself.
What's yours?
Lol.. I feel you ..Mine is because I dont want to be the phat sibling. You think being the middle sibling is hard well I'm that and plump..
This is one reason that drives me.6 -

Oh, honey. That's on him, not you!!! If someone only 'loves' you when you're skinny, he doesn't love you at all.
This!!!! I would certainly be rethinking that marriage.7 -
I want to look like someone you want to show off. It's pretty, but it's true.9

My petty reason is. I never got to take wedding pictures. And I had drama that carried on for 6 months and I gained 60lbs stress eating and sobbing. Honeymoon canceled. Brand new car stolen. Basement level Apartment flooded 2x. I wanna fit my dress and take pictures!! It was a really pretty dress!!!24

My petty reason no.1 is a closet full of (size 8) clothes that I can't wear. Starting a new job soon and not wanting to buy fat clothes when I have perfectly great barely worn clothes already.
Also, to be looked at as the beautiful one instead of dismissed as the fat one16 -
The man that I loved and built a family with left for overseas and immediately started dating someone else behind my back, the entire time still telling me he loved me and we were going to get married.... he told me he just “couldn’t fall in love” with me..33

Mine is a few things - the fellow I'm trying not to be in love with only dates thinner, hotter, younger women. Another very fit ex said I likely couldn't keep up with him on a hike.
F*** both of them.
My Halloween costume is going to be so insanely hot, one or both of them is going to be "oh, who is that super-babe over there?" and I'll reveal that IT'S ME! HAH!

My petty reason.....to make my boyfriend look at me the way he did before I had our baby.23

I want to be be the hottest girl in my group in Vegas7

I already commented once, but I want to comment again. I'm tired of being shy about being naked around my fiance. When we first got together I was 80 pounds lighter and I didn't care. Now I won't even shower with him. I feel disgusting when he looks at me. I shouldn't though, he's always telling me I'm beautiful. But I do. I want to be able to wear skimpy lingerie for him and feel confident doing it. It is a petty drop in my petty bucket of petty reasons why I'm determined to do this!12

Wow ... How rude! Verbiage was far from appropriate.3 -
My petty reason would be vanity. My main reason would be to get strong and flexible.3

Glad for a forum to state my “petty” reason. But it really was motivating. Met someone IRL that I had only known via Facebook...I could see the instant regret and disappointment on his face. I wanted to crawl under a rock. I know we choose our responses, but I never want my physical appearance to be the catalyst for that feeling ever again.27
