why do you REALLY want to lose weight [be honest]

I want to lose weight so i can date more often and not feel so insecure and buy fashionable clothes at fashionable stores without worring if that size would fit me...ugh ..and to not be the biggest girl in the room anymore :/ that would be nice... I mean i get hit on and stuff but not from guys i feel i should have lol if that makes any sense.... but be honest ;x oh yeah and i want to be able to wake up at 6 am and run 2 miles [none stop atleast] ...

I want to feel motivated to straighten my hair, put on makeup and look in the mirror before I go out in the morning, instead of getting dressed, scraping my hair into a bun and avoiding the mirror... Or to feel like if I don't do these things I look good anyway. Just now, a lot of the time I feel like its kind of pointless to make that much effort when I'm still going to look chubby.

A lot of people have said that they want to wear fashionable clothes - I want to not wear fashionable clothes! Just now being really overweight steals all of my confidence, so I wear conventional simple clothes (not ultra fashionable, but well within the normal range). When I was thin, if I likes a purple pair of trousers and a green jumper, I'd wear it, and still feel good! My taste in clothing has calmed down but I'd still like to wear things that might stand out a little and not care if people look at me, instead of avoiding drawing attention.

I need knee replacement surgery, but I'm putting it off as long as possible - I'd like not to be in so much pain all of the time, and losing 40lbs would make a massive difference.

My bf tells me I look beautiful, and I know he genuinely means it, but I'd like to feel like it was true, and not something he thinks because he looks at me with rose-tinted glasses.

I never ever want my mother to tell me that I look pregnant, or to ask me if I'm sure I'm not again (even if I am wearing an unflatteringly puffy stomached outfit!).

You will.

personally, i just feel like life would be so much better if i was skinny. i want to look good naked, i want to not feel constantly insecure. i want to be able to put on a tank top and feel okay in it.

I want to be able to wear what I want and do what I want without feeling like people are looking at me because I'm fat. It's also a matter of mobility/speed. At this size, I'm basically dragging around a small child all the time, but one I'm incapable of putting down. I can't run as fast, can't go up stairs as fast, and can't get around as easily.

There are a lot of other reasons too, but that's the main part.

Purely for vanity reasons.  I was never overweight to begin with, but I was definitely not in as good of shape as I felt I could be.

1. Tired of having man boobs.

2. My stomach is always in my way.

3. Tired of looking ugly in clothes.

4. Tired of being "The fat one".

5. Tired of feeling heavy.

6. Tired of looking at the mirror.

7. I wanna feel more confident.

8. I wanna be judged on my personality, not my weight.

9. IDK...being fat just sucks period..LOL.

10. I feel ugly because I'm fat!

You will.

Aww thanks <3

1. Just to feel better. After I started losing weight, I noticed how much happier and healthier I felt.

2. Vanity. I want to be able to wear cute clothes in teens' stores and look cute in them.

3. To beat all the people who told me I would always be a fat person.

To feel great in clothes.

Shop anywhere.

But mostly to have a hotter body.

so people will finally like me and i can finally take pictures with people

1. to not worry about what im wearing and if i look fat.

2. to impress my family during thanksgiving/christmas.

3. to be skinnier then my friends 

4. to impress my ex 

I want to be desireable. I am already married, but it still feels good when members of the opposite sex check you out, nice boost to a small ego.

Oh, and when I get where I want, I want to take my shirt off all the time when I get hot doing work/exercise

So in June when I graduate, and take the classic parent graduate photo, I'll actually want to show that to my kids someday and not be embarassed.

Because I remember how easy it was to be thirty pounds lighter. Easier to go for a run, easier to talk to people, easier to do everything.

I want to have someone give me a piggy back ride. Lol. I'm always worried about being too heavy.

Because I don't want to spend college worried about my weight.

So I can be the athlete I know I can be, who I WAS.

Because I have a bunch of clothes from when I was skinnier and they are cuter. :]

And because its nice getting checked out. :]

I want my partner to be able to pick me up and carry me around the house without getting winded or dropping me XD

I want to be able to get all the body mods and tattoos i want and have them look good on the new curvy me instead of kinda blah on the old blobby me.

I want to look like a faerie and use my shortness to my advantage instead of it just making me look a bit chubbier.

I want to be able to buy the clothing i like from Japan and be a normal size and not have to have stuff custom made.

I dont want to have to buy as much fabric when i make my own clothing.

I want to feel more motivated to build some muscle because i know it will be visible instead of hidden under the extra 50 lbs i've been trying to get rid of.

I want to lose weight so my boyfriend will think I look good, so I don't have to worry if people think I look fat, to fit into my size 8 pants again.  And so that other people will want to look like me (when I am thin).

I want to lose weight because:

1. I want to teach my kids to be healthier in life.

2. I need to help out my back/knees by dropping the extra poundage...

3. I want to look better now than when I was with my ex, so maybe I will be one of those chicks that he always hit on / cheated on me with... OOPS! Did I let the cat out of the bag???

4. My fiance is a whopping 130 lbs soak and wet, he is 5'7".  I can't be 195 (5'3") and look nice next to him... My parents were just the opposite and I heard the comments made about them!

5. I am having my dream wedding in 7 months... My daddy will finally get to walk me down the aisle...  I want to look absolutely STUNNING in my wedding dress.

I wanna look good in a bikini!

Loosing weight will also make my fitter so i can run faster in football, squash, hockey, netball, badmington, tennis ect.

I wanna feel secure and be able to say! wow i look fit!! :D

Wear cute clothes

Look smokin in a bikini

wear a cute little black dress

Not be insecure

be the pretty friend in the group

hahah i have soo many reasons one of it is soo i can show off infront of my friends and ppl i useto know espcially my friend who is like wayyy wayy skinnier then me also i want to buyyyy clothe thats another main reason !!!!! i want to be able to try on size s and look good in it !!!
