What is your "Petty" Reason to Lose Weight?

I started to have trouble fitting into the seat of my favorite rollercoaster. The same day I realized it I saw a gentleman have to get off because he didn't fit in the harness and thought, I don't ever want to be kicked off the ride because I don't fit in the safety restraint.11

I was turned down to donate bone marrow because I weigh too much...not so much a petty reason, but I couldn’t help being stunned that 20 pounds could preclude me from potentially saving someone’s life.16

A big "eff you" to all the people at work who spread horrible rumors about me and talked behind my back at work last year. A lot of them are overweight/obese and I know me losing weight would make em jealous.13

My petty reason is so I can keep up with the girls in my aerial dance class and not seem like the oldest person there who is very much out of shape.10

I don't know if it's "petty," but it might be a bit silly: I want to appendix carry.8

I want to look great for my wedding day, and I want to be more confident in bed with the lights on. (sorry for the TMI) plus working out helps with my depression!16

Possible school reunion next year.6

My petty reason - I have a gorgeous Jenny packham full sequin red gown that I bought in size 12 at 80% off in the sale when I was 7 months pregnant because I thought I'd just magically return to my pre pregnancy weight. Nearly 3 years later I'm down to a 14 and I'm not likely to be going to a ball anytime soon but damn it I'm going to wear that dress to the supermarket if I have to when I reach my goal!39

My sister is ~25 lbs lighter than me and looks amazing. I have a much curvier figure, so if I lost even 10-15 lbs, I'd look hotter. I am tired of taking pictures next to her and being outshined.10

My family is a "big family" as in pretty much everyone is overweight and I don't want to be another overweight person in the family.14

I wrote this last year ^^ While I am still striving to be in the a best shape of my life and feel good about myself. Deep down.. I want to look better than a rival. Actually shock her. Petty I know. 😑

I was given up for adoption at birth. I found my biological family three years ago. My brother's girlfriend (I guess you would call her that) made fun of me after they met me; "but, she's fat"..judgemental B***...then my biological father was showing me pictures of my family and said, "see you are DUMPY, just like your aunt xxx and cousin xxx". That pissed me off and both judgements really bothered me. Rather than seeing me for who I am, they judged me because I'm 270 lbs (I've gained 20 lbs since then). That's just two examples. I emotionally shut down after that. After a lifetime of wondering about them, I now know most (not all) are jerks and don't deserve me - just wait until I'm no longer dumpy...;)37

I used to get hit on a lot (i know, you're thinking why you lyin for? haha) and I just felt ugly, I don't want women hitting on me (I have a great girl at home) I just want to feel like women are attracted to me. Dont know if thats just sad or petty19

I went through a divorce within few days of my marriage coz my ex husband is having multiple girl friends and treated me very badly. I want to lose the depression weight I gained after divorce and show the people that I can get a loving boy to be my future hubby.18

Haha, I look facially very much like my mum does & grandma did. I already know what I would look like in 25-50 years time if I don't manage my weight. And the associated health problems I can look forward to.8 -
I want to feel comfortable at a friends hen party I’m going to next year.4

My good reasons are the usual. Be fit, healthier, feel better, etc.
My petty reason is that I don't want to look like all the other Dads. I'm sick of being just another day, gray old man.13 -
I guess it might not be that petty.... but definitely selfish..... I want to be healthy enough to have a baby.
I was religiously on here for years and lost some weight but I went ghost and unfriended all the people I met after I was told I might not have children. I just want to get out of the depression and heal my body.36 -
Petty - to look better and gain confidence
Not so petty - to beat depression16
