What is your "Petty" Reason to Lose Weight?

Part of it's to get back to to the size I was when I knew I would never have to settle because I could have pretty well anyone I set my sites on.

Part of it is to to a physical representation of how much better I've become since leaving my ex.

I want my boobs to shrink. No idea how much they will, but it's worth a try, right? If only spot reduction was real...

I ride a motorbike and I want to look hot in leathers, not like an over stuff sausage.

Also I don’t dress how I want to at the moment simple because The sizes don’t fit me, I want to be able to go into any shop and know I can fit into the clothes I want.

Same! I don't wear leathers, but my first riding jacket was men's because I couldn't find a women's jacket that was big enough/long enough for me. I'm 6' with short hair, I looked like a man riding the bike.

This year, I bought a women's jacket. I have a shape! My hubby and I went to the store earlier in the season to pick them out, and the lady at the store commented on how I was swimming in my jacket, and had a blast trying all different styles/sizes on me. I was shocked at the size I ended up buying (in a good way).

I like feeling beautiful for myself.
There is no way to word this without being conceited, but I'm a union carpenter and a waitress and soon to be a bartender... so I'm constantly getting hit on, numbers, etc... and it's very uncomfortable mostly because I dont see my beauty for myself. And I want to re-create that space. I lost 77 lbs last year and felt beautiful. And then I regained 35 of it because I let the stress of living in a bad relationship take over... now I'm 8 lbs of that down and still going and so excited to start glowing again 💕

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

If they're having sex with you, they think you're hot and aren't worried about any of your "flaws." Don't worry gorgeous, you don't need to lose weight to give them a show!

I'm lifting my tail off for multiple reasons, but some of my petty reasons are looking athletic for the first time in my life, being able to wear hot/sexy outfits, and keeping up with my sister/friends who are all in fantastic shape. I was always the "fat" one, and that is no longer the case. I also feel like I have to keep up with my husband who is easily the most attractive man of all our friends/family. I want to look like I belong by his side.

To be able to shop anywhere instead of going to a specialty store or the three racks pushed in the back at Wal-Mart.

Sigh... well... so I can rock bomb *kitten* tight clothes without the extra belly. Superficial petty reason.
Also, I am a physician and I cannot see myself telling a patient to lose weight and be heavy myself. I feel a lot of health professionals let themselves go (stressful profession, long hours of studying, etc). To then have to take care of someone else’s health, when you can’t even take care of yourself, seems reckless. (Legitimate reason).
Another petty reason is because of my family, mainly mother, sister and even some in laws . Weight has always been an issue, and my family had a very love-hate relationship with food. My mom never encouraged us to do any sport/extracurricular physical activities, nor eating more veggies/fruits. Then she would expect us to be in a healthy weight. I would remember trying to not eat junk food, my mom would guilt trip me into buying it for us, and in the middle of me eating, would blurt out the meanest comments about my weight. It was always something about me. Then tried to link the fact that I’m gay because I’m fat. She would say the meanest and nonsensical comments.

I used to be a DIV 1 athlete in college and in amazing shape. I have been with my husband for close to a decade and we have both gained 20-30 lbs each. We have a beach wedding coming up with some college friends and don't want to be the couple that let ourselves go after college.
