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!

LOL! I have the same complex...I always feel people staring at me thinking "Yeah, she really needs that candy bar!!!"  Not uncommon at all.  Other reasons:  I want to wear sexy clothes. Not tube top sexy, but something nice that I don't feel like I am busting out of.  I want to prove people wrong.  I have never been small, and have been looked at differently for it most of my life.  To lose a bunch of weight would be my "ha, in your face!" to all those who are now no better than me.  Petty, yes...but it's my own reason!

I want to be able to wear a dress that fits my bust and my hips. 

I want to be able to tuck in a shirt.

I want to be able to walk into a run of the mill clothing store and be able to find something that will fit that I would wear.

    For all of the above reasons, AND because I want my ex's to take one look at me and start crying - while hiding their hardon because they lost out on one of the best, most beautiful, and successful things that could have ever happened to them - and looks better than them!

   Specially my baby daddy!!!! and all of his stupid wh*** girlfriends who think their badassed, and better than me because they have him now . . . . I'll be able to look them in the eye and they will believe me when I say "Been there, done that, burned the T-shirt. Get out while you still can, I am not with him cuz he is a loser . . . not because of any new lie he is spewing this week. I can have anyone I want."

lovemusicmagicbaby I just looked at your before and after and I believe any ex looking at you would definately be crying and hiding a hardon! You look incredible and you could absolutely have anyone you want :)

I think I already replied to this thread with some of my reasons but I have another one I don;t think I posted. Theres this boy (a supposed friend) who always pokes fun at my weight. Even though he's a bit of a wannabe playa and loves himself and thinks all the girls want him, I'd just love to see him and him to want me. It would make me laugh soo much. I highly dount that would happen if I were skinny or not. But it would be funny.

I think one of my main reasons for wanting to lose is that it's important to me all my boyfriend's male friends be jealous. >.>  That probably makes me a bad person, but it's true.

And getting rid of that rub between my legs would be nice too. >.<

haha yeah I know that feeling. Everyone wants to be wanted.

And the rub. Ouch. know that feeling too =(

I want to lose weight so that I can date chubby or not classically beautiful women (I like what I like) and not have people think "well, that's the best he could do".  I want them to think "he must really like her because he has so many options and chose her". 

I bought this amazing vintage dress from e-bay and I want to be able to fit into it!

I never want to worry about breaking swings, chairs, or tables if I sit on or lean on them.

lol, I love the term "chub rub".  It's why I don't do corduroy pants - the pants that talk when you walk!  I'd like to wear a pair of cords for once that don't talk!

Well, I want to have a baby in a few years, and I don't want to have to weigh more than my hubby when I'm pregnant.

Weird reason, yes. But also very true.

I want to be able to go into clubs and dance without people thinking "oh look it's chubby girl dancing" 'cause I'm not fat, just insanely untoned and slightly overweight.

 if that makes you a bad person, then i am too! i really want them to look at me and think--"wow, what is that hott girl doing with him. he must be doing something right" it's so childish and stupid and petty, but i want it! i want the jelously...they want it but can't have it...it makes me feel hott, ya know? is that really so wrong?

ok, maybe it is, too bad!

I want to look normal!  Right now my body does not look proportionate at all, I'm I size A cup and my hips and thighs look ridiculously large in comparison... I'm hoping if I trim down everywhere I'll look more proportionate since there's only so much my breasts can shrink (they can't go concave can they?)  I'm a normal weight for my height right now, but my legs still rub together, and I get burnt really bad if I walk in shorts (it hurts)

You all gave me alot to think about in all of these posts...I too hate that chub-rub in between my thighs ( i used that monistat stuff too...great stuff!). I want to lose this weight so that after being single for almost 5 yrs I could actually get a date. I have tried the internet dating scene but usually when they get my pic they never talk to me again. I want to be able to take my 9 yr old daughter to the park and actually play with her instead of just sitting on the sidelines. I too don't want to have to sit up front because I'm the biggest one in the crowd. I just experienced that one Sat. and didn't notice until I read about it here too. My daughter is a ballerina and all of the moms that I hang with during rehearsals and such are thin, pretty and either successful or have a successful husband (which means they don't have to work) and I'm tired of being the sad fat one!!!!!

 

I want to lose weight to be able to ride a bicycle and not look like 2 hams on a toothpick.  I want to go hiking and be able to keep up with my 10-year-old nephew and 4-year-old daughter.

 

 

I want to be able to wear shorts without the inside of the legs migrating up to my crotch with every step (a side effect of the chub rub!).  
I want to stop being jealous every time I hear someone tell another person that "they look really good, like they've lost weight."
I want to go shopping with a skinny friend in a store without plus sizes, and actually be able to shop!  And not have the stupid sales girls give me weird looks like I don't belong in their store! (Seriously, have you ever been in Express as a plus size girl?  It sucks!) 

I completely agree with the chub rub! I'm almost 20 (next month!), and last year was my freshman year of college. I only put on about five pounds (instead of the freshman fifteen, thank god--I was so terrified of that), but since I was already overweight it led to three pairs of jeans being ruined, including my favorite pair! They all got holes on the inside!

I want to be able to wear a regular bathing suit and not be super self-conscious about my legs. Usually I get those bathing suits with the bikini top and little skirt--I'm a pear so I carry all my weight down there, so I'm fine with having my stomach bare...wasn't really any chubbier there than most people. But my legs--UGH! I want to be able to wear a regular bathing suit.

Lastly I wanted to get my mother off my back. She's harassed me since puberty about my weight--in high school I hit about 150 (I'm 5'2) and stayed there until last year when I went up to 155. Luckily when I came home I went back to 150. But now that I'm at 135 I feel like for the first time in YEARS, literally YEARS my mother doesn't watch every food I put into my mouth or nag me about my size.

1) I want to be skinny before I get preggers and gain weight!

2) I'm too cheap and stubborn to buy new pants so I want to fit into my old ones.

3) So I can look smokin' with a belly ring

Okay I've already lost most of the weight I intend to, but I love these posts. 

I have a really round face, and one of the things I used to do was pull back on my cheeks and around my neck, trying to imagine how much better I would look with a thinner face, thinking I'd never be able to make it happen.  I haven't done that in a long time now.  And there's really nothing to pull back anymore! 

Also I was dating this guy and when he would put his arm around my waist I could actually just relax against him instead of thinking, ack he's going to figure it out!

When I go to the gym now, I'm not hideously embarrassed to be so sweaty.  I'm sweaty because I'm working hard, not because I'm in terrible shape.
