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

I want to be able to buy clothes at all stores, not just Walmart and specialty stores.14
-
A couple of reasons -
1. “Glow up” - my ex left me last week; giving no reasons whatsoever. Ok, asshat, I’m going to show you what you’re missing now!
2. I’m going into a career in canine hydrotherapy, so I want to look good in my wetsuit!!!13 -
I want to be thinner than my three sisters.17
-
I want to wear pretty clothes and feel good about the way I look. 👠👗👡10

I used to practically look like a model before I gained weight (with a bit of makeup, haha) and I want to get back to that version of my self. Fit in my cute clothes again and turn some heads, lol!13
-
I'd feel more confident in job interviews if my weight was lower.14
-
I love to travel internationally (in non-covid times) and I don't want to be seen as a fat American.15

Bump for pettiness

The very tall, multiple piles of "It will fit me again someday" clothes in my closet. I miss wearing them!! I'm gonna turn 50 y/o in April, so if not now, when??15

To say F*** you to all those people who said I couldn't do it with diet control and exercise....sure its taken nearly 5 years but I have also learned alot of lessons along the way!!17

My wife observed: when I lose pounds, I gain back inches..8

I will add one more reason to my long list. I recently slept in a awkward position and when I woke up could not feel or move my arm.It recovered after a while but I have dislocated my shoulder. It is killing me and I feel so much older when I cannot move it. Obesity is a factor for this...11

To shut my sister in laws up. They think I can't get back to a 125 - 130 lb weight range just bc they despise exercise. They think that in order to lose weight you have to be on a perpetual fad diet and starve and work out until it hurts. I'm proving them wrong.11

I have a person just like that in my life too!
She will talk up her latest diet when she's on one, but if I mention anything diet or exercise related, it just gets brushed off as "wouldn't work for me".
Mostly I am of course doing this for myself, but part of me just can't wait to prove her wrong - it can be done and I am doing it!5 -
Because I want to make my own business attire and changing a pattern is hard.8

I love it. And so true.2 -
I do love it. She is completely right.2

My petty reason to lose weight is because my ex would always make comments about how fat I am and ended up cheating on me. I wan get skinny and have him come back to me because I love him...11

Well, years ago my petty reason was because my medical provider suggested surgery. I quickly lost enough to take that off the table. More recently, the petty reason to lose weight is that I am smaller than my new bride's ex and that she is smaller than her ex's new wife. Mission accomplished, but I do want to keep it that way.8

I want to be the fittest of my family. I was always criticized as a child for being obese and I finally lost the weight and looked great but I gained it alll back due to depression. I want them to see I am strong and I dont give up.19
