What is your "Petty" Reason to Lose Weight?

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!

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

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!
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

There is a short guy who is a neighbor..but he works out and has a totally built body..he actually looks commanding and dynamic. He's done a fabulous job looking larger than life..and the fact he is short is beside the point.Karen_can_do_this wrote: »I’m short. I want to be little as well as short.

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

Make my D look bigger
Hahha
Not really but thought it was funny11 -
To feel good about myself.7

I'm tired of being the fat one in my friend group. A group of us are going on a beach vacation after Thanksgiving and I'll be the only one avoiding bikini photos. They all have flat little stomachs and I want one too!
I also don't want to be the slow one on the slopes when I'm snowboarding this winter.8 -
You look great!!! @lgt20152

Mine is to just prove I can. I want to be slim, and I've made progress then backsliding so many times. I know a lot of people wont think much if I tell them I'm starting to lose weight. But once I get to my final goal, everyone will be blown away x)8

My 30th high school reunion next year!

This exactly. I have a friend who made me her MOH for her wedding but didn't care about talking to me or hanging out with me. I just figured it was because she needed someone fat next to her to make her feel better

I want back in my jeans that fit before I had twins. That was 5 years ago.7

To look good in a swimsuit at the beach. To buy clothing investment pieces and not worry about growing out of them.13

To feel confident enough to wear a bikini. I've been chubby since I was 8, so I never developed that kind of confidence. I haven't been swimming in over 6 years because I feel like my gut and thighs are too big. Even at a "healthy" weight (bmi 23.3) I feel like my thighs are monstrous and my stomach has some major rollage.
Trying to maintain my current loss and then some for next summer!
Also want to look good in the fashion and dating departments. I never wore the cute peplums when they were in style because they made my wide hips (I'm super pear-shaped) look like a giant balloon. Would be nice to lose enough weight that my boobs shrink too, because bralettes are so cute but not nearly supportive enough. Also, I'd definitely feel weird if I dated someone who weighed less/ had a much thinner waist than me.
Lol if I finally get to my GW, will my confidence magically skyrocket and I'll be happy, social, and in a beautiful committed relationship? I'll recognize that's a little unrealistic.

I wanna be that curvy pretty B that I used to be...you know, the one that people would stop and stare at in the club 😭😭😭😭5

My ex was asking me to take him back a few years ago, but now that I gained 50 lb since then he says I’m like a sister to him now 🙄... just makes me wonder.14
-
I wish i could wear the little red shorts my fiancé doesn’t want me to throw away because he remembers me wearing them when we met 5 years ago. But they are 4 sizes too small 😓13
-
All of my friends are thinner than me and some of them complain about their weight to me. I want to be supportive, but the self-conscious petty side of me wonders if they see me as the fat friend if they see their barely even pudgy stomachs as gross, and mine is starting to roll over 😩13

My boyfriend and I go to conventions and cosplay alot...and he can't look better in skimpy women's outfits than I do 😂14

I want to cross my legs without it becoming uncomfortable!8

My "Petty" reasons, well. I don't wanna live like a "refugee" and I figured I would keep "running down a dream" to somehow get back in shape for my "American Girl" lovely wife. I also know that "I won't back down" when it comes to my health, after all my only other choice is "free fallin" into sickness. It's not like "I'm learning to fly" I mean its just exercise. Don't blow this off, "Don't do me like that" and if you still don't believe, then "Don't come around here no more" because I'm going into the "Great wide open" and taking this fitness to the next level, because "I need to know" if I can keep it up until the "Mary Jane's last dance" or "You wreck me", either way I am pushing hard because "Even the losers" get lucky sometime20
