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!

Another reason, to know what I look like at a healthy weight. I've always been overweight and I have no idea what I'd look like, or if I even HAVE collarbones.  

Okay.  Here goes:

1. No more chub rub!
2. I don't want to be the fat girl anymore; I'm a going to be a sophmore(14 years old) and I want to go to a dance and feel beautiful.
3. I want to go on a date =)
4. I want to go shopping with my friends and be able to shop in the same stores as them; I don't want to have to go to the plus size shops.

So I can buy boots! I have big calves and I can't wait to lose weight and slim down and pull on some gorgeous boots. Also, here in Australia in summer it gets sweltering and I sometimes get a heat-rash behind my knees and in my elbow crease.

So I can go on a shopping spree and pick a shop at random and KNOW I can pull ANYTHING from the rack and have it fit.

 - I want to look good naked

- I want to have confidence to go out with people

- I want to have my belly button pierced

- I want to buy tops that are not L or XL

- I want to wear a beautiful bikini.. havent worn a bikini since grade 7..

- i want my legs not to rub together

- I want to wear pants without chub hanging over.

ooh lala~. My turn to jump in!:

1. There's this boy I like. Like.. reeally, really like. You'll probably say I'm too young, it's all puppy love blah blah blah. Whatever, I really like him. I told him that I liked him, and he said he liked me too. Unforantly, though, he lives across the US and sometimes across the ocean (he flip flops between his home country and northern USA). We share moments on webcam being silly. He always gets up and moves around, but I stay seated the entire time, or atleast, I don't let anything below the cleavage level be seen, because that's where all my problems areas are. He teases me about never standing up, it's funny.. buuut I think he'd like it if I showed him what I looked like standing up. (As odd as that sounds..)

I want to get to a weight where I look good, and I want to show him that I actually have legs. And I can use them to walk. As well, eventually we're  ;going to meet, and I want to be lookin' spiffy when that happens.

Oh my god me too, i sat down a lot before, and NEVER stood up. Now that i've lost about 20 lbs since then i've had the confidence to stand up quickly and get something or something. And i wanna stop photoshopping my pics to make me look thinner :( I plan on meeting him in february and i plan on being 25 lbs lighter. (I'm 185 atm). I wont look TOO shabby, i think.

Well, for both your sakes, I hope these gentleman (and I hope they are that) won't care so much about your physical appearance, and perhaps more about your personality! I met my husband online, and he's from England, he saw me at my heaviest, and watched me lose weight before he came over. I had made that decision (to lose the weight), before I met him.  Do it for you, not others, it's more satisfying AND permanent that way! Since then I've married him and we've had a child, and he  loves me and my body no matter what shape it's in!

Okay so I thought of another one...and this is probably really bad, but here goes....

My boyfriend is drop dead gorgeous...I mean, people turn and look at him when he walks by, and I know all his ex's....Models and super sexy girls.....*Growls rotten evil little....grrrr.....

and they're all still friends with him because they couldn't bear to cut all contact.....which is fine, I mean, they're sweet nice women and I know that they don't want him like that anymore....but I want to feel like i can hold my own with them and not have people wonder what the heck my BF is thinking going out with me....

I'm with you on this one. My boyfriend is a tiny little thing and i want to be able to walk around in public and not think that people are looking at us and thinking why that skinny guy is dadting that fat ****

- So I can get a shorter haircut and not feel like I have to hide behind my hair

- I have a friend who ALWAYS gets attention from guys wherever we go together and for once I just want it to be me

- I want to be able to take full body pictures

- Not have to hide my arms

- Get my  picture taken from any angle or a picture where I don’t have to immediately look at to make sure I didn’t come out too fat and delete it if I did

- So I can work on the inside after working on the outside

- So I can stop sucking in my stomach ( because of doing this I now have a very flat stomach it works!! but I still do it out of habit that I can maybe get over after I lose all my weight)

- So I can stop being so paranoid and sensitive when someone makes a comment where my first thought is “it’s because I’m fat”

- So that when I continue to eat healthy (as this is a lifestyle change) I can make my incredible fit and skinny brother and sister in law feel bad about their eating habits instead of feeling pity for me.

- I want to take “It’s because I’m fat” out of the equation completely. I want for my decisions or excuses on things not to revolve around my weight.

- “you have a pretty face” ughhhh

-  So that when any of my skinny friends ask me or mention that they are so fat and they need to lose weight I can say “yeah, you could afford to lose a couple of pounds”  so that they can feel bad for making me feel bad after asking that question. One of my pet peeves is when skinny people say that they are fat (and to a fat person) and you just KNOW that it’s to either make you feel bad or just so that they can get reassurance on their looks. I’ve never tried it but I can guess that if when a skinny person says this and you tell them yeah your right they will say or are probably thinking “no I’m not!” and “look whose talking fatso!”  If you know you’re skinny then why did you ask huh!!

- Sorry for rambling! I love all you guys =D

Short hair always looks better on smaller girls.  It's rather frustrating. :( 

When I was 18(I am 25 now) before I started college I was 145(I am 5'10) during this time period I was modeling(not runway, more makeup and such) and I know this is super vain but I am tired of my puffy cheeks and my lack of refined features like I once had.

2. I want to be able to cut my hair short again(cute bob) but because of my chubby cheeks and chin I feel super self conscious!

mmm...so i feel better about being..on top...

okay, tmi. sorry.
