I want to lose weight because ...

[__c]

i want to loose weight so that fat isnt an easy insult against me

 

[nettie]

I love this thread! Some of my reasons are:

1: I don't want to be the fat friend anymore!
2: I don't want to dread a night out because I'm going to be the fattest person there
3: I want to enjoy shopping for new clothes
4: I want my children to be proud of me
5: I don't want to worry about bumping into people my OH knows and thinking- oh no I bet he is so embarrassed they have met me!
6: I don't want to have to buy from the 'curve' section online at ASOS!
7: I want to purchase some River Island jeans

My list just goes on and on... lol

Great list - feel free to go on and on, it motivates me too!

So agree with that bit about bumping into people with OH - he would be so upset if he thought I thought that - as it wouldn't even enter his head - but always in mine.

I didn't know there was a curve section in ASOS! But decided not to buy any clothes til I am thinner and hopefully by then I won't need no curve section

I think the bumping into people who my OH knows is one of my main anxieties.
He works at 4 or 5 different schools so has lots of work colleagues who I don't know, when we see someone I haven't met before it's like my heart skips a beat and I just think that they are looking at me and thinking- oh my god why is he with her.
I've mentioned it to my OH and he was shocked that I feel that way

Great idea!

Here's mine:

i want ant to lose weight

- so my children don't have a chubby mother
- so I can feel comfortable leaving the house and not feeling like a bloater
- to have more energy
- to get rid of my back cleavage
- so I don't look like Billy Bunter in shorts
- so I can wear skirts without being afraid of my prop forward legs
- so I can look amazing on the beach when I go on holiday in August
- so I can wear size 8 jeans
- in fact, so I can wear jeans full stop!
- so that I no longer have to tuck my stomach into my pants

I sound GORGEOUS, don't i!

well, you look lovely in your picture Nettie! Don't be ashamed of how you look - you are doing something about it and you are still gorgeous, regardless of how much you weigh

Aw thank you, that's a lovely thing to say

Was entertaining clients from OH wedding business on Sat night. Spent whole time feeling self consciously fat!

- I will feel happy about the way I look in front of other people (incl wedding couples who are ultra slim for their wedding day!)

Billy Bunter in shorts made me smile!

I haven't worn shorts for about 20 years.

Me neither! To be fair, I think I will always have chubby stumpy legs!!

Made me smile too. Had a mental image on my head all day!!

- to show everyone I can succeed and not give in to peer pressure

 

[emilyjw]

- to think "you look good today" just once when i look in the mirror.

 

[Bels]

- to feel fit and healthy
- to be able to shop anywhere
- to be confident on a night out
- to not be the fat friend
- to wear a sexy dress at the christmas party without looking silly
and so many more

I would like to lose weight so that:
- I can book a holiday with my boyfriend without fear of having to ask to for a seatbelt extender, or worrying that I won't fit in the seats on the plane at all!
- I will be able to purchase clothes that aren't from Inspire or ASOS Curve (I need River Island in my life ♥)
- So that I can go to Alton Towers and go on ALL of the rides instead of sitting on the side lines.
- To be happy with who I am and how I look.
- So that I can accept affection from others (because I will like myself, too).

They're pretty much the same as everyone else's reasons for losing weight, but they're motivating all the same..

I love all of these but especially the last one! x
