Hello everyone..I just woke up a few mins ago.. the house is quiet, the coffee is tasting wonderful, and i thought i would post some of the main reasons i want to lose weight... when im done im going to print out a copy to put up on the wall to encourage me to continue when things get rough

1. To be healthier--i love life and i want to live it as long as possible
2. To look better--i am soooo tired of hearing what a pretty face i have.. i
guess that's better than nothing but sheesh lol
3. To feel better--i seem to be tired more often than not and i know its cause
im carrying another person and a half around..
4. To raise my self esteem-- i have a pretty high self esteem considering lol
but it is always in the back of my mind that im fat.
5. For my husband--I have the most gorgeous, wonderful, kind, loving
husband in the world.. he is as beautiful inside as he is outside.. i feel so
much pride when i see other women looking at him and knowing his heart
and body and soul are mine.. i want him to have just a lil of that feeling. i
know he already thinks im beautiful as i am, but i want to be more beautiful
for him.
6. this one is kinda weird lol... i want before and after pics sooooo bad.. i
have looked thru loads on this site and the change in everyone is so
marked and dramatic.. i am sooo curious what i will look like..the faces
change so much..
7. lastly for the clothes-- im tired of buying clothes out of the fat section..
no matter what i buy, it doesnt look good on me... i want to see
cute, buy it, and STILL think its cute when i put it on lol

Thanks for listening... seeing this list in black and white actually makes my resolve even stronger.. i hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and i hope that life treats you kindly i hope we all find the strength we need to get thru the hard times and come out shining

You totally inspired me to do the same!

1. To get my cycle back to normal and be able to have children
2. To feel more confident about myself
3. To be able to buy clothes with no problems - and to leave actually feeling good about myself!
4. To have more energy for my husband and job
5. To inspire others
6. To live a longer, healthier, and more adventurous life
7. To make new friends and not feel so self conscious

[remydey]

Great reasons Zoerba... we can do this.. i know it.. and all those things will mean so much to us when we get there just for the hard work it took...

This is really a great thing to do. Actually, before I even found 3FC, I wrote out a list of reasons why I want to lose weight and I carry it in my purse.

Here's the list that I carry with me:

flirt with... (there'a a specific person on my list)
buy nice, pretty clothes
ride roller coasters
fly away for vacation
have energy
be confident
feel sexy
go white water rafting
wear a big hat at the Kentucky Derby
have a baby

I feel that I am making significant progress toward all of these items... I already have more energy and am steadily gaining conifidence.

We can definitely do this!

[NaturalStupidit]

- More confidence!
- For my boyfriend - I know he loves me the way I am but like remydey said, I ljust want to be more beautiful for him!
- To fit my butt on rides at six flags hehe
- For the engergy boost!
- Because I've always been bigger and I'm really curious to know what I'd look like smaller haha

[kickingfat]

i want to live a long time; my life is wonderful and my fat has gotten the point that i could end up sick or disabled

even losing 5 pounds makes me feel hopeful and excited, though, so i'm positive & enthusiastic about this

i love the feeling of moving this body when i'm smaller and how connected i feel to my physical self with the loss of even a little bit of weight and more physical activity.

[taylogbel]

1 to live long enought to see my kids grow up
2 to feel better
3 to look better
4 to go to six flags with my kids
5 to not be so shy
6 to not hate how i look
7 to shop at the mall
8 to not be to scared to dance
9 to not think people are looking at me in a bad way
10 to feel sexy

[Shy Moment]

1. I want to be healthy.

2. I want to be around until I am 90 bugging my kids

3. I want to wear my belie ring again

4. I want to look in the mirror and like how I look in panties

5. Right now, to make the neighbors turn down their music ( lol ) I dance naked in front of the window. I want ( would never do ) to dance naked in front of the window and them turn UP the music and then sell tickets to the show lol.

6. I want to buy clothes I like instead of clothes that fit.

6. It sounds so very selfish, there are a lot of " I wants there " I do this for ME. I don't do this for anyone else.

[Dreamgyrl]

Wow you ladies are very inspiring!

~Is it wrong that that want to lose weight for only 2 reasons...to be healthy and to hopefully get married one day?

*cue violin music*LOL

[jsscmngn]

1. I work on my feet all day and it kills by the end...so getting this extra weight off would help

2. My Man is the most amazing man alive and I am sick of comments "wow, you with her, someone that big"

3. I want to ride roller coasters

4. I want to be able to not have to fake putting on my seatbelt because it doesnt fit around me

5. No more seat belt extensions on planes.

6. Single digits or even -teen sizes in pants would be nice...

No! There is no right or wrong reason - just what moves you.

People can be so cruel. I can't believe anyone would say that to you. Don't let them get you down!

[Raven78]

My reasons for wanting to lose weight....

1. To be healthier
2. To feel better about myself
3. To be around and watch my kids grow old
4. To not feel bad about coaching my DD's soccer team.
5. To give my loving husband the pretty wife he already tells me he has
6. To be able to buy a bra from a reg. store instead having to special order it
7. After losing weight if bust is still to large (44H right now) will be able to get insurance to pay for a reduction!!
8. To be at a weight that I can get a Tubal reversal.

Hopefully my reasons dont sound to cheesy.

[RealCdn]

All of the reasons are great. Maybe I'm just too tired to think of a big long list, so at the moment I think I have only a short list.

- to avoid the diabetes that's on both sides of my family (oddly, my sugar is fine)
- to finally be a normal/healthy weight (I don't think I ever have been, even as a child)
- to not wonder why someone would flirt (still floors me from time to time)

[Moosegirl]

1. To get healthy and eradicate my diabetes
2. To buy some nice clothes
3. To have smaller feet
4. To feel good about myself
5. Possibly for children!

[NotTheCheat]

Kendra - There is NOTHING cheesy about wanting to be healthy and be around for your kids. There is also nothing cheesy about wanting to look good. Your reasons sound great to me - as do everyone else's!
