50+ Reasons To Lose Weight - For Those Low Moments

So I can hold my head high instead of always being told to keep your chin up...... I'll be holding my head high and looking everyone straight in the eye because I will be a stunner.....:)
 
I know this thread has been going for sometime but it has made me laugh made me cry, but above all it has made me so much more determined to shift this weight!
Just a few more to add to the list....

to be able to wear a bra with a cup size smaller than my 3yr old head.
to wear clothes with a zip and button and not elasticated.
to not just have sex lying down.
to not panic when I am tagged into a photo on facebook worrying what I will look like in it.
to be able to have haggen das ice cream, packet of biscuits etc with out eating it all!
not to have sleepless nights when work decide to change the uniform.
Not to let my little girl end up like me because of my unhealthy relationship with food that she could follow.
Above all, be here to see my children grow up.
 
1. To be able to play 'running'with my son
2. For my knees and back not to hurt
3. To not feel like the 'fat one' when I go out with the girls
4. To look in the mirror and see the person I want to be
 
Hi all, thought I'd mention a couple of things too.

I want to be able to fit in all those new clothes that I have from before having the kids and I was slim.

To be able to wear costumes in the bedroom and not have to turn the lights out.

Being 5t 9inchs, I want to stop feeling like an ogre that looms over everyone.

I want to enjoy my height rather than despise it due to always being noticed and hating it because of my weight.

I totally agree with chaffing thighs, not having to go to Evans everytime for boots and shoes. I also very, very, very much agree with wanting my partner to be able to pick me up and not weigh more than him!!

Great thread, just the motivation I need as I'm in my first week on SS. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation that you have all provided me, without even knowing.

I agree with all of whats been said but to add my personal reasons:

To lower my BP before it gets to the medication stage.
This in turn will slow down my Kidney damage
To be able to play with my grandkids without getting puffed out.
To cut my carbon footprint by sharing a bath with OH.
To feel light on my feet and be able to do the tap dancing steps i used to be able to do (currently cant lift my feet from the floor).
To walk and realise my thighs are'nt rubbing together.
To be able to buy 'normal' size bras and slinky lingerie instead of scaffolding and control undies.
To be able to zip my boots up all the way to the top.
To look good in my clothes and have them skim my body instead of hugging it.
TO LOVE WHAT I SEE IN THE MIRROR AND KNOW THAT I EARNED IT THROUGH SHEER HARD WORK AND COMMITMENT.
 
To be small enough that I can wear the school uniform on free dress days.
 
This is a great thread - really inspirational reading all your posts. I can relate to most of them and it helps to know other people feel like this too.... and that we're all here to do the same thing. Thanks guys!
