What is your "Petty" Reason to Lose Weight?

Mmm manipulation - I want to have the edge of being slender in social situations from job interviews to the micro interactions with everyday people. I want that benefit.

My fat(ter) brother in law is getting gastric and I don't want to be the last fatty left in my family 😂

Outside of all the normal reasons I want to reduce my breast size and fit in to some hoodies I bought that ended up being too small 😂

I want to be smaller than my husband.

I want to not be worried about bumping into exes or friends I haven't seen for years - I don't want them to think that they had some sort of lucky escape.

I want to shave my hair (down to a #1 or #2) and don't want to look butch.

Lots of other really healthy reasons aswell, but I've definitely got some more superficial ones.

I want to wear jean cut off shorts and not be self-conscious.

My son starts school this year and I can see the “mums race” at sports day on the horizon

Ugh, because I gained some weight over the last year and a half of cancer treatment, following a massive weight loss. (I had lost 60% of my total body weight from my highest weight). My "skinniest" clothes are now too tight and I'm TIRED of giving them to my teenager. I'm also tired of being reminded how good I once looked and how healthy I once was.

Don't want to look/feel like a sack of tatties when I go clothes shopping

I need to lose 15 pounds to have abs to show during a beach vacation in August. I used to have them, but then I had a baby and 4 years later I still didn’t shed the extra weight I’ve put on during pregnancy.

I don’t want to go into divorce court chubby . I have the two kids and all the responsibility and he has bachelor life. He will not win!! I also have a new boyfriend who I want to be my best for.. 😜

Smaller clothes don't cost as much.

_faedreamer · April 2019

I want to be able to wear clothes that fit my aesthetic. I'm currently too fat to even hope of getting into the kind of clothes I find cute and would be cute on me. Sick and tired of having to buy clothes old ladies wear. I do have a style, but it doesn't come in my current size.

I will never wear floral again I swear to effing god.

My petty reason for wanting to lose weight is to be skinnier than my BF's ex. Not because HE says anything but because I know it bothers her.
My main reason to lose weight is to be healthy going into middle age.

MrsBradyBunch · April 2019

I want to have a waistline instead of a gut.

I have a lot of good reasons to lose weight, but of course there are some petty ones

Top of my head:
1. To outdo a few "friends" (read this with huge air quotes). They've been losing and gaining weight (and are much bigger than I am), but they see it fit to lecture me (like no way to lose weight unless you do keto or eat 1200cals... like... no,that's not how it works...)
2. I have some specific clothing styles that I want to be comfortable enough to do;
3. I want to be referred as hot. And I want people to talk about how I used to be very fat, but I lost all the weight. :P

Because people said i couldn't. People at my workplace can be dicks.

Absolutely love this topic. After all the natural good reasons (health, feeling good, etc.) I want to just feel sexy again and it would be nice to hear, damn girl, looking good, ha ha ha. Just had baby #4 and I never thought my body would be the way it is now. Its awesome that they don’t care how I look but I want to feel more comfortable when I am out with them and just for me.

roseslate75 · April 2019

My petty reason is to be smoking hot the next time I see my ex. He lulled me in to thinking that he loved me as I was, 50 pounds overweight. 4 months later he dumped me for a skinny chick. After I got over the devastation, I picked myself up by my bootstraps and took myself to task for all of my bad eating habits and laziness. I’m down 39.8 pounds as of today and will be in my sexy size 10’s in no time. Petty, but soooooo motivating. Can’t wait to see the look on his face when he sees the new, happier, healthier me! Revenge will be sweet!

Laurnelaine · April 2019

I want to look good when I get married and not live the rest of my life cringing at my wedding photos. Also to say a massive f you to my father and my ex who called me fat for years (even though I wasn’t really!) can’t wait. 🙃🙃
