What is your "Petty" Reason to Lose Weight?
Replies

My brother and I are in a challenge to reach goal weight in June next year. It'd be great if he reaches goal weight then, but I want to reach goal weight then for many reasons, one of which is to show him that I have the perseverance to keep on track for the next 9 months.5

I want to not be the fattest person in any group.
I want to stop worrying about being comfortable in chairs with arms at restaurants.
I want to not worry about fitting the seat belt around me in an economy seat on airplanes.16 -
I'm getting on a plane this week, I am so hoping I don't have butt squeeze from the arm rests for once!10

Old thread but I like it. My petty reason is that my mother is prettier than me, so I want to be skinnier than her. Shes winning right now.8

I don't lose my double chin until I'm sub 220...and I want to lose the beard, I e had it for 2.5 years.
I seriously think that reason and the fact that I want to compete at 100kg class are pretty much my only reasons at this point.7 -

Flat out... I want to look and feel good about myself. Some would consider that petty... I consider it keeping myself healthy, emotionally & physically.16

My petty reason was a hot new girlfriend who is really fit. . . I wanted to feel confident when she saw me naked . . . now that that relationship has died I have to be fit for ME . . . and for the next hot girlfriend. (: (and ok maybe a little to rub it in the face of the previous girlfriend ;/ )15

I have a lot of people who were truly cruel and inhuman to me back in middle/high school, so much so that I refuse to step into the town in which I was raised for half of my childhood. If any of those bullies ever see me again, I want them to think, "damn. She's hot AND looks like she's more successful than I am". With my weight where it is, I still can't even imagine stepping foot in that wretched place. Even when my Mama asks me to pick something up from the store when I visit her these days, I go 45 minutes away to the next town.
While not the biggest reason, there's definitely a petty/bitter part of me who wants to be able to stare down the people who hurt me and pull off a stare that communicates the Pretty Woman line of, "big mistake. Big. Huge." Before walking to my car and ignoring them for the rest of my life.24 -

I went through this too.. and unfortunately a bunch of them won't even remember tormenting you so you won't get the satisfaction of rubbing it in their faces. You'll probably just have to be satisfied with going in and looking better than them. You will get some compliments but apologies are unlikely.6 -
My "petty" motivation presently is I want to be noticeably smaller by Thanksgiving. They haven't seen me in months haven't posted much about my weight loss on social media for that reason as well14

I’m finally non-disabled enough to go back to work, and I got a job. I don’t want to be the fattest person in the office. I don’t really want to be the fattest woman either.21

I want to feel comfortable tying my shoes. I want be graceful getting out of a car. I want to shop at banana republic, at least sometimes.10

I don't want to get new clothes that are a size or 2 bigger.6

My main reason is to feel and look healthy but...
I want to be skinnier than my ex's mum and sister who always made me feel like crap.
I want to be skinnier than my younger sister and look freaking amazing when I hit my 30th birthday in a few years.
Anyone feel free to add me, I've lost 15lb and am aiming to lose another 15!8 -
I just want to feel hot. No longer young, so trim is my new hot. Don’t mind saggy boobs and a few wrinkles, but nothing matches the confidence and pride that come from knowing I’m taking care of my body.17

Honestly, I want to have hot sex with the lights on and not worry about what I look like.19

People always post exactly what I’m thinking! 🤣 Are you psychic?
My reason is to wear cute bikinis or whatever I want when I go on holidays this winter.8 -
I normally wouldn’t post something like that but decided, “What the hell!” It’s the truth! 😉17
