My reasoning is so that I can improve the quality and hopefully quantity of my life. In addition to that I have three young nieces and a nephew and I want to be able to run and play with them as well as the children I hope to have in the future. I also hope that it will help to boost my confidence.
Aside from health and living life to the fullest as I mentioned.
Id also like to just ONCE in my life be able to go in a "normal" store to shop! never ever have I not been plus size...EVER!
I agree with the one girl on here. I know it sounds a little narcissistic, but my boyfriend is at a healthy weight and I'm far from it and I always think people are thinking why is he with her, or they don't look right together. I know it stupid to care what people think, I also want to be able to shop in whatever store I want to to and find something that fits! Plus I want to run with out getting winded and be more active. I guess that's more than one, but there are so many reasons.
To be able to live life to it's fullest...not be limited by my body in doing things I want and should be able to do. Although I've never lived in an actual prison, I know what it is like to be a prisoner.
to have the woman on the outside match the woman on the inside.
I don't want to seem self centered, but I have a great personality and the outside does not match my inside person.
#2 reason: My family is a bunch of walking coffins medically and if I don't learn how to properly take care of myself now I definitely will not live long.
I know all of the reasons I should be offering up for needing to be healthy, but none of those are the real reasons why I want to lose the weight.
I want to know that I have the option of any man in the room. I want to know that people aren't calling me fat behind my back. I want to be able to walk into any store, see something cute, and buy it. I want to be the prettiest girl in the room, no contest. I want to look at pictures of myself without wanting to vomit. I want to be thin for vain reasons, yes. However I don't see this as a bad thing.
You see, it will be a bit before I notice any significant changes in my health, as I am so severely overweight...so having better health isn't what's right in front of me. Getting down to a size in pants that I wish to be it, well that is.
there are so many reasons, it involves every aspect of my life, but my first reason is health. I want to be able to live to a ripe old age and enjoy my golden years, and watch my kids grow and have children of their own. Of course, I want to feel "normal", comfortable, and more confident also. So many reasons......
I want my children to have a healthy mom that can run around and play w/ them rather then sit and watch them!! .. i want DH and i to look like the number 11 rather then the number 10

i want to love myself... for the first time in my life. i want to be able to be proud of myself, instead of struggling with the shame of being obese.
of course, there are tons of reasons. but i truly want to love myself. right now, i hate eerything about myself. because i think im a failure as a human being.
I am 47 238 and it is time to get back to the thin me my kids grew up with. I keep seeing my self thin at their weddings and at the births of grandkids. It is time to let it go. Victoria
