@CloverDemeter That's an awesome reason!! So glad that you are on your way to becoming the best you on the outside to match the amazing you that is on the inside ❤️

Day 74 of 100 Reasons Why: To shop for clothes anywhere I want. Currently, I have a limited number of stores that I know sell clothes in my size and that will flatter my body shape. And the clothes there are not exactly affordable. Someday I’ll be able to walk into any store, a big name one or even a little boutique, and…

Day 73 of 100 Reasons Why: For cute, slim ankles so I can wear anklets in the summer ☀️

I love being active and getting out in nature!! I like to walk in the woods where all is quiet except the chirping of birds and the wind in the trees. And I walk nature trails near my house that go around ponds and brooks and the sound of water is so soothing and I love looking for frogs, turtles, ducks and swans! I also…

Day 72 of 100 Reasons Why: In the spirit of Mother’s Day, today’s reason is for my kids. And for my future grandkids. And, hopefully even, for my future great grandkids! I need to be healthy in order to live a long, happy life ❤️

Thank you everyone!!! I had a bit of an indulgence yesterday. Poor planning led to a trip through the drive through and of course CAKE!! But it was worth it!! Dark chocolate cake with raspberry icing and raspberry chip frozen yogurt from my favorite local ice cream spot 😋😋😋 But my big treat for myself was not good related.…

Day 64 of 100 Reasons Why: Today is my birthday and even though I have weight loss goals I still want to live my life. I am finding that it is possible to have my cake and eat it, too, as long as I can find a good balance between healthy foods and occasional sweets and treats. And by this time next year I plan to be half…

Day 63 of 100 Reasons Why: To maybe be a MILF by the time I turn 40 next year!

Day 62 of 100 Reasons Why: For better posture

@bebeisfit GOOD ONE!! $$$

Day 61 of 100 Reasons Why: So that clothes fit my body properly. No more tugging down my t-shirt to cover my fupa or wearing jeans that are tight on my waist, baggy on the butt and bunching up around my legs. No more bras that fit snuggly around me, emphasizing my back fat, but with cups that are too large. No more…

Day 60 of 100 Reasons Why: For ahhhhhmazing Before & After photos!!

@speyerj YES!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Day 59 of 100 Reasons Why: I’d love to go kayaking. When I see people out gliding across the pond or through the salt marshes, effortlessly skimming across the water and it looks so peaceful & easy to me. But I know the second I try to step into a kayak my awkwardness coupled with my weight will make it tip over, sending…

@stortina so many great reasons!! A lot of us overweight people are in the same boat so we have the same reasons but other reasons are more individual. I love that this thread motivates you! Thinking about the “Whys” is a big motivator for me, too. Keep checking in and keep the reasons coming!! ❤️

Day 58 of 100 Reasons Why: I earned 3 Zone Minutes on my Fitbit trying to wriggle and squeeze into my bathing suit from last year 🤦🏻‍♀️

Day 57 of 100 Reasons Why: Because fat is hot! With summer coming I want avoid being a sweaty mess but all this extra insulation just makes me overheat 🥵

Day 56 of 100 Reasons Why: To fit in the booth at a restaurant

Day 55 of 100 Reasons Why: To get in my boyfriend’s pants. I stole a pair of my boyfriend’s pajama pants a few years back. They were soft and warm and baggy, perfect for lounging around the house! But lately they fit very snuggly, to the point of no longer being comfortable. If I lose a few more pounds they will once again…

Day 54 of 100 Reasons Why: To make a good first impression. Humans are very visual creatures and when a person sees someone who is morbidly overweight many assumptions are made right off the bat. They probably don’t even realize they’re doing it. First impressions are very important and I am tired of being judged and…
