There, I said it. Lol.
Not stupid at all. Trophy wife is a life goal every woman should have
Okay me. I would love it lol
Not for me. I don't want to be any man's (<== note possessive) - or woman's - anything like that. Better to grant someone my time and attention (when they're worth my spending it), vs. be their accessory. Others are welcome to different goals: No judgement implied, just different choices. :drinker:
I appreciate all opinions. I should also state I would make a terrible trophy wife. I am very independent, stubborn and a general pain in the butt. I also think I am funnier than I really am. I should clarify... That I want to look like a trophy wife but keeping all my fantastic character traits 😂😂😂

I actually have quite a few petty reasons and legit reasons, but I'll list the petty
1. I have a boss that is like a vain female version of Michael Scott from "The Office". It's ridiculous how vain she is and makes people feel bad for not looking "healthy" to her. It infuriates me and she says a lot of really dumb *kitten* and loves attention. I would just love to be able to take some of that attention away from her just to piss her off (not that I want the attention).
2. Not being ignored by bartenders when other girls go up after me and get service before I do.
3. So I can stop being insecure and get my damn confidence back. (I guess that's more legit than petty lol idk)7 -
I don't want to look like a soccer mom, when I'm not, even though I'm getting up there in age.7

I was the fat girl in school, want to be the hottest of them come the 40th reunion. I haven't been on any reunions because of the bullying. Now it's time, 40th comming up 2 years from now.9

This is about as petty as it gets, LOL.
I started out for health reasons. Just out of school I weighed in at 135. But after decades of bad eating habits, the scales were tipping at 210. Normal weight range for my height is 126-168. Yeah something needed to be done, heh
I'm down to 165-170 range (depending on time of day) and feeling healthy again, so there is that, YAY!
Now for the petty part/reason: I've set my new/current goal at 155lbs, to coincide with an upcoming 55th birthday.
This would put me very lean but still with some muscle definition.
I have to say though, seems no matter what I do, those last 10 pounds just will NOT come off. Very frustrated

My newest petty motivation: I asked my husband if I looked OK in the bikini I just bought, and not too jiggly. He responded with "what does it matter, it's s only us there". I want a: wow, you look great!18

I want necks to break as I walk past.
I want to be sitting by the pool in my string bikini eating a juicy burger not giving AF because I earned it.
I want to look like I belong with my beautiful, tiny, body-conscious friends when we are out at events.
I want someone to offer to buy me a drink at the bar.

I love it when my daughter says I look beautiful. I want to be able to fit in the nicest, tightest little dresses to show her that even over 40, you can do it without being a fat, saggy mess.7

Agreed. I'd also like to be hot. I get told that I'm cute/beautiful all the time and my husband tells me I'm hot, but I'd like to look at myself every single day and think "damn, you're hot" instead of just some days.8 -
