50+ Reasons To Lose Weight - For Those Low Moments

[Starry26]

I love this poem, it's so true, something I can connect to, altho I don't have kiddies yet... I love this bit:

"But it all ends now... no more I can take,
My life can be changed into whatever I make.
In the corner of the room I will no longer sit,
But flourish, and accept the attention that comes with it"

Well done Tinka! Anymore........ ?

This is such a great thread, I've ben sat here laughing and 'welling up' reading through it, I so nearly just gave up yesterday, so glad I didn't...

Here's a few of mine so far:

1. When my son is old enough to go to school not to embarass him by being the 'fat mum' at the school gates.
2. Not to be the fatest person at work.
3. Not to hate clothes shopping because its such a task finding something that fits nicely.
4. Not to feel embarassed when my husband introduces me to someone because they'll secretly be thinking 'woah, his wife is really fat, what's he doing with her'
5. Not to always be thinking that my husbands family and friends will be comparing me to his ex-girfiend (who is a model - stunning) and think why did he marry her, she's huge?!?!
6. Not to be called a 'big girl'
7. To take my son swimming
8. To ride a horse again
9. Not to look behind me and see my massive butt
10. To take pictures with my friends and family and not rush to load the pictures onto the computer so I can delete and edit the ones I don't like of me.
11. Not to have to wear a cardigan or sleeves all the time

Ya know, i could just cut & paste most of this list and post it as my own...oh wait...i kinda just did. thanks neptune.

i've only jsut discovered this particular thread. not sure how long it's been here but today is probably the best day to read through it...for me anyways. i think i've hit the lowest point today, than i have in a very long time. i'm just going to keep browsing this thread. i'm hoping it will do me some good.

:sigh: 2 stone to go...it feels soo impossible...so out of reach. must get myself in check!!!

What a GREAT post!!
I was laughing at some of the things as I thought I was the only one who thought of some of them!! Like eating in public with people thinking "No wonder you're fat"
I'm getting married in March next year and I have started this diet two weeks ago for this reason as well as 100 others but these are a few of my reasons!!...

To take my lovely Daughter swimming instead of saying "mummys got a tummy ache"
To meet up with old friends instead of making excuses as to why I can't go even when I know I can..... it's just I don't want people saying "god she's let herself go"
To have a family photo taken while my daughter is still young.
To not have to hate the summer because I can't find any clothes that look good on me.
Again great post, Keep up the good work!!
