I'll never be the skinniest person in the office, but I don't want to be the fattest person!8

I was always the fat one in my family and the awkward ugly duckling. Now, in my 30s I've come into my own; I'm articulate, well dressed, and immaculately groomed. The only things between me and the milf I want to be is my body fat percentage and my waist to hip ratio. I'm ready to be the hot one in my family. Next year, two of my siblings are going to be having beach weddings, and I want to be the best looking bridesmaid both times.20

I've posted before that I don't want to be the fat one at our family holiday. Yesterday my sister said we could all just share clothes and pack less! Getting there, but now I really want to be able to say "sorry, but that will be too big on me, thanks though!"12

I’ve went through 4 ankle surgeries in the past 7 yrs, so I’ve gained weight as a result. I’ve been somewhat limited to what I can do or I will end up with an ankle fusion as the next step. I was telling my parents about the trainer we hired for our 16yo son (his request, he’s an athlete) and my Dad said, “He should take his Mother with him!” And proceeded to laugh. My Dad is overweight & has always been emotionally abusive to my brother and me along with our Mother. I found a saying ‘Avoiding certain people to protect your emotional health is not weakness. It’s wisdom.’ I am finally ready & need to do this for myself; I’m 48 & if I don’t get it under control now, I don’t think I ever will.18

My husband's ex wife is extremely large. Not that I have anything against large people in general, I just really dislike her, she's just really lazy and promotes an unhealthy lifestyle on my stepdaughter. And it makes me feel better knowing that I'm really fit, she's probably jealous, and I'm a better role model to my stepdaughter than she is.
That and my ex boyfriend cheated on me after 6 years and it feels so AMAZING to see the look on his face every time I run into him in public, when he realizes how much weight I've lost since he dumped me for my best friend.23 -
Okay here’s my petty reason: I want to be under 200 so that if I wanted to, I could ride a mule to the bottom of the Grand Canyon! (You have to “make weight”...under 200#) Now I’m not saying I would actually do it, but I want to have the option!! 😀18

I didn't think it was 'petty', but I recently saw a post on social media from a plus size bride about not wanting to lose weight for her wedding. That's fine, I respect that you're happy the way you are and your partner clearly loves you that way too. No one 'needs' to lose weight for their wedding and you should do what makes you happy.
What was not okay was the rest of the post which read 'if the only reason someone is trying to lose weight is for their wedding pictures I genuinely feel sorry for them'...
What the hell?
I will keep those pictures forever, I will show my kids those pictures, my grandparents will proudly display them on their walls and show them off to visitors. Maybe it is petty and vain but I know my insecurities and don't want to be looking at them in a ten years wishing I'd put a little more effort in to look extra incredible on the biggest day of my life.
So yeah... I'm petty and someone feels sorry for me for wanting to look amazing on my wedding day *rolls eyes*15 -

They? Who the ef is they? They can just go jump in a lake, no??! What idiots. (and thank your spouse for their service)8 -
So i can be known as the fit friend again, and so i look INCREDIBLE in my wedding dress.6

I feel like after having a chronic illness and gaining a lot of weight the people around me have pretty much written me off and don't expect me to achieve anything in life ever again and at times I've believed that about myself. I want to prove them and especially myself wrong. I want to get to a healthy, attractive weight where I have the energy to tackle my life, achieve some of my goals and put myself out there. I do want to look my best and be able to wear nice clothes instead of living in cheap sweatpants and t-shirts but it's more about not being the invisible fat lump nobody really respects or sees. I'm already in my 40's and I have been in denial for a long time about how much of an impact my obesity has had on my whole life, health, outlook etc and its beyond time to do something about it.15

Oh, definitely.
Funny, I miss her every day but I don't miss him at all. We were best friends for 10 years.
They're both lazy, unmotivated, alcoholic college drop outs. They will likely work at the same gas station the rest of their lives. They spend their free time either drinking or sitting on the couch smoking pot. And everytime I see them, it seems like they're gaining every bit of weight I've lost and then some.
It feels phenomenal. That situation was the best thing that has ever happened to me.
I'm feeling amazing, in a few short months away from marrying the man of my dreams, and I've begun my career and get my corrections officer certification at the end of the summer. Life couldn't be better.22 -

The best revenge is showing them not only do you not need them, but their lives are in the toilet without YOU.

I want to be the hot chick at a bar who scores the free drinks (legit has never happened for me).
And I want my exs and the jerks I went to school with to be jealous if I ever see them again.

2. My family and friends that keep saying I'm too skinny to lose weight when my bmi is obviously crap.
3. I miss wearing my skinny goth clothes!8 -

I want to be smoking hot and pose as a pin-up holding knitting with a caption that says, "Grandma and her knitting."
When I was younger I thought pin-ups were terrible. I guess turning 50 changes you. LOL19
