Uncommon Reasons to Lose Weight

I was sitting here (bored at work, hehe) and something sparked my mind. Everyone has their own reasons for losing weight. It ranges from happiness/self-confidence to wanting to be able to wear a size 2 or a bikini with pride. However, everyone has random and uncommon reasons they want to lose to. Maybe they are not part of common knowledge people people are too embarrassed/shy to discuss them openly. What are you uncommon reasons you want to lose weight? Mine are:

1. I want to go to the store and not feel embarrassed when buying a chocolate bar. At the moment, I don't buy them because I feel like people are staring at the "fat girl buying the candy".

2. I don't want to be that girl who walks up three flights of stares and is completely out of breath and having a heart attack.

3. I think it would be funny to see my clothes that I wear now be baggy and barely fit me. I would still wear them sometimes to, as weird as it sounds!

Maybe these are really uncommon reasons, but they are different than the whole common "I want to be pretty" or "I want to be healthy" reasons!

I would like to have my thighs NOT invade each others space!!!

 

AMEN!!!!

I COMPLETELY agree with this one..

 My unusual reason to lose weight.. So i can fit back in my saddle and not use my dad's saddle anymore. How embarassing to say that. I want to be back in my jeans and my saddle and wear shorts for the first time in (four) years

i'm with jenmcc

my mom is very overweight, i dont want to be like her.  nor do i want my kids to think that they can eat whatever and not care about their health. 

i also want my clothes to be loser, they fit well now, but i like the baggy feel

I've posted already, but I am opposite.. My mom is freaking hot!. When I call my fiance (excuse my horrible language) a m*ther F***** he says "In a heartbeat!" She is 51. Wears a size 0-2 and has nice boobs. She  has blue eyes and black hair and a nice tan. Here I come a size 14/16, red hair, no boobs, ghostly white skin. I feel soo digusted riding horses with her. So I want to be out with my mom and not be ashamed that my mom is perfect and I am fat.

I understand the mother thing. My mom has a beautiful face, but she has had a poor self image since I was really young. I remember growing up around her and learning that only skinny people are pretty. I think that's part of the reason I have such low self esteem. I want to be able to lose weight and maybe inspire her to do the same.

I remember 3 years I wanted to lose weight so that my thighs were not bigger than my boyfriend's! I dont how he would have felt if I told him so....

I want to lose weight because I'm tried of feeling like that token ugly girl of the group that they only keep around so that they look better by comparison.

So when I go into an interview I look like I can do the work. Over the summer I had an interview where they kept asking me if I thought I could keep up with the men, that the work was hard, and not very many women were in this profession. Now we see if fit girl has an easer time getting work that pudgy girl.

Strange the answers here....I want look to loose weight for the pure selfish reason that I want to look good in trendy clothes.

VTW

Dunno if this is strange but so I can stand next to all the tall beautiful girls on my drama course and hold my own. So I don't get typecast in fat parts. To maybe get a lead role, that doesnt involve being a big lassie. To feel like, when a guy looks at me, he's maybe thinking how hot I am :P

I already pray they are but part of you i gues has to be realistic :d

okay, so my reason is purely selfish. I want to be SUPER skinny (and look hot for just one summer) before I have 1 or 2 more babies starting this time next year! I'm thinking maybe 115 if I can manage before I get preggo...sound crazy? Maybe, but I think I have the right, I mean..I highly doubt I'll be able to get back down to even what I am now (123) after 2 more kids! *sad sighs*

it wasn't my original goal, but it's nice to finally weigh less than my boyfriend

I want to be able to twist my limbs into a pretzel, and sit like that, and be comfortable, like I used to years ago. I already can cross my legs easily (could only do the "calf on knee" fat-girl cross before) but I can't quite bring both my knees to my chin and stay like that.

Another 29 lbs and I'll be under 25 BMI, and then it should be doable. :)

1)To stop the evil chub rub once and for all!!!! 2) To not feel like my friends are lying when they say I'm not fat. 3) To be like Audrey Hepburnnnn and actually feel sophisticated. I love the feeling of sophistication, but I don't feel like you can be when you're chubby:(.

AAaand, this one is especially weeeeird, but....

4) Get an amazing body so that I look better than my 22yo supervisor's gf and so that he won't be able to wait till I'm legal (Unfortunately I still have 3 and a half years to go... lol)

I want to be able to feel sexy and confident as I walk down the street. I hate feeling self conscious :-(

I want to weigh less for many reasons.

Because chub rub does suck.

To go to a concert, and not feel self conscious about how tightly squashed you are with the people near you. 

If I meet someone from one of the bands I like (It has happened many times), for them to see me as cute. NOT to try to get with them, but when I walk away, for them to think..."cute".

When my guy friends try to pick me up, to let them! I always freak and run away, i laugh about it at the time, but I honestly feel like if they carry me they will be like...O_O.

People tell me I am pretty, but I don't want to be "that one chubby girl, the pretty one- you know?".

I am 5'1, 152 pounds. It is a lot of weight for someone this short to carry around. I just want to look good in a bikini this summer! And make it so when I wear jeans, they FIT well, and are comfortable to wear...

to be able to tuck some of my shirts into my pants.

goshh it looks so cute. but also requires like 0% body fat.

I live in Greece and it get REALLY hot in the summer (it can reach 113 degrees!) and it's impossible for me to wear a skirt and walk outside with feeling sweat going down the back of my thighs.  It's very embarrassing too.  So I don't wear skirts anymore.  I would love to be able to though...

 

....my reason is that i have 2 more parties to go to and I want to buy nice dresses and not have to chose one just because it fits.....

plus... summer time.. I want to wear a bathing suit without a skirt

I want my life back.

Simple as that.

1. End the chub-rub for good! 

2. be light enough that my boyfriend can lift me up...and be smaller than him by at least 10 pounds (anything closer is just too close).

3. (thanks wannabehot) - believe my friends when they tell me that I look good!

4. end foot/knee/back/general pain and feel forever LIGHTER

5. wear seriously 'body-concious' clothing and not feel like I am just barely pulling it off but that I am rocking it

6. in my distant future...I want to be a thin, gorgeous, and healthy bride and mother

Edit: Thanks for starting this thread, it is such good and positive motivation.  Reading everyone's "uncommon reasons" got me to put a donut down, and that takes SERIOUS effort most of the time.
