Lacking in self esteem so i wanna get a good shot of that when i look in mirror9

My mother's side of the family dies young, she died at 66. I'm 65.26

I have four pair of Wrangler Q-Baby jeans that are size 7. This girl looked amazing in them. I now want my size 10/12 (still okay, but not great) butt to get BACK into them.

My friend had a gastric bypass and has lost a shed load of weight. It is amazing and I'm happy for her but it has left me as the 'fat friend' in our group!12

I want my slightly-too-snug pants to fit the way they are supposed to!!!7

I'm going on a family holiday to a tropical island in July, and I want to feel confident standing against my SIL, who rocks a bikini after two kids.6

- I want to walk past a mirror, glimpse and say "I look *kitten* hot"
- I want to go and buy cute clothes
- I weigh more than my husband where I shouldn't
- I am the fattest woman in my area and there are only 6 women
- I am a naturally vivacious, extroverted woman. For some reason, it's more acceptable to be like that slim
- I want to be a hot mumma at school-drop off7 -
Is vanity considered petty? lol.5
-
That's a long one to answer and not really petty
1) I'm ashame of my body, since like always. And we could continue this one, always t shirt in summer, etc...
2) Some friends / coworkers mock me in my face, many in my back because of it.
3) I want to be a good example for my daughters
4) To be actually "desired" by at least some ladies. Not pretending to be clooney but meet me half way.
5) To do sport in a much better shape
6) To take care of my health that is ok today but already a bit of colesterol, blood pressure, etc...
7) To dress with style with clothes that I can't wear today.
And of course last but not least to be the coolest gangsta in da hood...

I want to look better than both my sisters ( 18 months older and 21 months younger)7

To prove to my mother PCOS can’t stop me and to find cute affordable clothes!8

I bought this pair of awesome jeans that were mislabeled and came from China so shipping them back isn’t an option. I want to be able to wear them someday.9

Honestly? I can't wait for a regular size towel to be able to wrap completely around me. lol
Also, I want to be smaller than my sister.17 -

This is mine also. Most of my children's lives I avoided taking pictures with them. Lots of vacation pictures, none of me. I want to join in group pictures with my friends, I want to take pictures with my kids, post pictures on social media and not be embarrassed by my weight in them.10 -

Yes. I hope that's not what people actually call you to your face. BTW, your profile pic does NOT look duff AT ALL.6 -
People treat you differently when you are thin and attractive vs overweight and looking dumpy. I know the idea is labeled as shallow, but I would rather have the kindness people show me because of my appearance than have to work ten times harder to get people to see past my physical appearance. It really is amazing how much hate people throw at those who are overweight. And it's not just thin people! I've had ladies who are larger than me treat me poorly because I'm not perfectly shaped. You'd think they would have a little compassion since they are in the same boat.
I'd also like for my husband to be proud to have me on his arm. He never says it, but it's pretty obvious he's not attracted to my current shape. I don't blame him. My flab has been a big self esteem killer.
I agree, I do remodeling around my house and my family's houses, so I am often at Home Depot picking up lumber and other supplies.
After I lost 50 pounds every guy in the store wanted to help me with my purchases. I lost weight, not my strength. Lol11 -
