WHY I want to lose weight
Nov 08 2009 12:07

1. I have a heavier family, and I want to break the cycle and prove that I am above genetics.
2. I want to prove to myself that I am capable of working hard and actually doing something about what I've complained about for so long.
3. I wanna wear a bikini!
4. When I get older and have kids, I'll probably put on some weight. If I'm overweight now, then I don't even want to imagine how heavy I'll be then!
5. I'd like to get in good shape and develop good habits now, so when I'm old I can have a long life and not have to worry about my blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, my heart, or any other potential health problems I may have as an old lady.
6. I want to be able to go to the mall and buy clothes because I think they're cute, not necessarily because they flatter my shape.
7. I want to be able to talk to guys without having to worry if my tummy is hanging out or I look like I'm out of shape.
8. I want to be able to improve my times in swimming by getting slimmer (increasing aquadynamics) and getting stronger.
9. I want to learn to bellydance, and not feel self conscious doing so.
10. I don't want to be the biggest girl in the room anymore.
11. I don't want to be the "chubby" friend anymore.
12. I've always wanted to look like the girls in the music videos. Not the girl that's barely wearing anything and is shaking her rump all over the place, but the girl that the guy falls in love with. I want to be that kind of unconventional pretty.
13. I want to be able to go to the grocery store or the ice cream place and get some ice cream or other unhealthy indulgence and not worry if people see me, overweight, and look into my cart at the indulgence and judge me as the "fat girl who eats ice cream."
14. I want to feel better about eating in front of people.
15. I've always wanted to go skinny dipping.
16. I want to show the world the real me--the sexy, fabulous me! Not the chubby, insecure "me." I'm a skinny girl in a fat body.
17. I want to look good in pictures, and not have to worry about what poses look more flattering.
18. When I go to big girl school, i.e. college, I want to be able to focus on my studies and making friends and meeting boys and not feel insecure and shy because I'm not exactly pretty enough, whatever that may be.
19. I want some self esteem!
20. I want to prove to the mean girls who have put me down all my life that I AM BEAUTIFUL, and I don't want to give them any reason to put me down any longer.
21. I want to look great for my Junior prom, AND get a date. :)
