1. I'm tired of always feeling so huge, like a big sore thumb (even if I don't actually look like an eye-sore, I feel like I am)
2. Since I lost weight 4 years ago, I haven't *felt* like a fat person... I don't eat like a fat person, I'm active, I have loads of energy... so WHY SHOULD I STILL BE FAT?!?
3. I eventually want to have children, and I don't want to raise fat kids. I think the best way for me to teach my children healthy eating and exercise habits is to be a living example. That starts by losing weight.
4. I want to look prettier and be able to comfortably wear stylish clothes
5. I want to have a very active life, do a lot of traveling, etc. and while I CAN do those things heavy, I can more easily and more comfortably if I were thinner (now I feel like "Find the big, fat American!")
6. If I were thinner, I would probably feel less self-conscious; I would probably feel freer, more creative, more spontaneous... (there's a BIG difference in these qualities in me from 264lbs to my current weight already).
1. I want my kids and grandaughter to be proud to be seen with me.
2. I want to be proud to be seen with me!
3. I want to visit my family without seeing the looks of horror when they see me. (They don't know I have gained all this weight)
4. I want to feel sexy enough to flirt!
5. I HATE,let me make sure you heard that HATE!!!!!!!! Fat clothes.
6. I want to get naked when I have hot flashes and not cry!
Because I do not want my children to be ashamed of me.
Because I want to do activities with my family and not worry about having a heart attack.
Because I don't want my arthritis to get worse.
Because I am sick of my "fat clothes" and refuse to buy anything new until I lose weight.
Because colon cancer and heart disease run in my family, and I don't want to be the next statistic.
Because I don't like being the unattractive fat friend.
For when I decide to have babies
So I feel more confident
More energy
Positive attitude
To do the things I don't want to do now because of my weight(Go to the beach, ride on rollercoasters, bedroom stuff ect..)
To live a long and rewarding life so I can look back and not say I wish I would've lost the weight then I wouldve done.....for example.
1) So I can enjoy playtime with my children.
2) So I can RUN!
3) So I can feel sexy again.
4) So I can be a healthy involved grandmother to my grandchildren.
5) So my children won't be ashamed of me...not that they are, it's MY issue but still...
6) So I can wear cute little clothes again! (Especially that little black dress).
Mine is basically how I feel. I want to feel like I'm 20, not like I'm 70. I hate the aches, pains, and overall bad things that come with being overweight.
I'm pretty vain for an overweight girl. I don't mind though. I prefer it. I don't need to lose weight to be pretty. That's just how I feel though.
1. To get healthier
2. To shop for "normal" sized clothes
3. To not worry about fitting into a booth or chair
4. To feel sexy again
5. To live longer and be a hot grandma (someday)
6. To not be the fattest person in the group
7. To look in the mirror and wonder how I let this happen
8. To feel like I am in control....not food!
9. To ride all the rides at Disney World
10. To not get out of breath when I walk, exercise, play, etc.
~ To be able to play with my kids without getting so darn tired after a few minutes
~ To ride on roller coaster without worrying if the harness is going to fit
~ I want to look as sexy as I feel, for myself and for my husband
~ I want to be able to shop in the "thin" section!!
~ To wear bold and bright colors without looking like a big bright whale.
