What is your "Petty" Reason to Lose Weight?

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 -

So I'll no longer be "that fat guy" and instead just be "that skinny guy with thinning hair"14

I wanna be the skinny cousin again lmaooo3

To get back at my ex husband who said that "he didn't like fat women". Well, guess who isn't fat any more????? My profile picture is from a photo shoot I did last year to reward my self for getting to my goal weight. I lost 35kg and have been maintaining +/- 1-2kg since July last year. I am 62 and have not been this weight since before I had my first child back in 1983.32

Thank you. I feel the best I have felt for many years and along with the weight lost a lot of health issues as well.7 -
To have the wild sex like I had before I gained the weight.13
-
I want my husband proud he married me, and I want my ex-husband to feel like he blew it when he left me.
Yeah, that's petty.13 -
I like it when my husband shows me off . although that sort of goes against everything I stand for 😂😍😍12

I was always the "Skinny" One when I started to gain weight I was getting comments about it from my mom who is 350+ I did gain 60 pounds do to a medication I was on. I want to shut her up. Also I do not feel attractive no matter how much my husband tells me my weight doesn't matter, to me it does I lost my sexy feeling.9

Sexy is an attitude, trust your husband.
Having said that my petty reason is to see what's going on down there when we bump uglies10 -
I really let myself go after college and during a disastrous grad school experience. I want to get back in shape for myself and I'll be as selfish as I need to be. It's about taking my life back.7

Petty reason:
I want to look good naked, I want my husband to look at me like he does other women, not just love me because we have been together 14 years and have 2 children. I'm fed up of hearing "it's ok, you've had children, you have a mum body".
I want to be able to go into the shops and pick any outfit I like without worrying if a fat person can wear it.
I want to be confident in my own skin.

I can be soooooo petty about it. like.. I hate giving in to the weightloss/skinny chick monster and industry that media is selling us but secretly, I have this weakness. I want to be a bombshell, I want to be "in control" - still be able to eat fun things in moderation and be social , and have some drinks - but look and feel good and be thinner than my "always on a diet" but never seem to get anywhere friends!!! I want to "prove" its possible - AND... be "Right" as I keep trying to tell these friends that WOMEN SHOULD lift weights and WILL NOT get "bulky".
I want to put on a bathing suit and not stare at my thighs. I want to prove wrong everyone who buys into the idea of "leave your teens fill out your jeans' or that "as you get older your health declines" because it does NOT have to be like this!
GODDESSES NEVER AGE!!! ~ Dr. Christiane Northrup ... and they should still ride horses, compete, snowboard, and rock a bikini (me.)
Anyone looking to have venting sessions can also feel free to add me

I just went back and was like.. why does this say KITTEN Everywhere. no swearing on MFP I guess?! oops. sorry lol4 -
I want to look and feel good in a bikini.5

I want to weigh a good 20-30 pounds less than my husband again. I did it a few years ago, and I felt so amazing! Stress and emotional eating has slowly put me back almost to where I started again.
I'm also going through my version of a mid-life crisis, I guess you could say. I turned 46 this year, and I'm rocking purple hair, bold makeup, and ripped jeans. I need a hotter body to pull the look together to be fierce instead of dumpy and trying too hard.8 -
My husbands co-worker hits on him at work. She’s younger, thinner, and prettier than me, and he’s attracted to her.42

My hubby and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary this August and I want to be able to wow him again. Plus, we are going away for a week on a romantic vacation and I want to be able to wear some cute outfits, especially dresses and skirts, because he loves my legs!12

I am in my little sister’s wedding in July and I do not want to be the fat bridesmaid. (All the other girls are young 20’s and I’m 30, married and have had two kiddos!) 9

I've always been the girl in the full swimsuit while my friends are in bikinis. I don't just want to wear a bikini because it comes in my size, I actually want to look good in it.10

Be glad it's only a full suit. All my fat is in my legs, so I have to wear one of these numbers. lol
