Ok, I know that we all want to lose the weight for the important reasons (better health, to prove to yourself you can do it...) But what about the little things? What are your more superficial reasons for wanting to lose weight?

For me, I want to shop in the juniors department for the first time in my life before I'm too old to do so. I want to wear a mini skirt so bad.

Oh, and I want to go for a run without feeling like I'm going to cough and die.

Does anyone else want for the 'little' things?

I REALLY want to be able to shop in the juniors section. I have never been able to do that, and

Me, too!


I want to wear knee-high boots that actually can be zipped all the way up without a struggle.


(There are more reasons, but that's the one that really strikes me at the moment...)

I want to stand next to my 150 pound best friend and hear people make the comments about me too, like "You look exactly the same as you did when you were in college!" I don't want to be the fattest person everywhere I go. Most of all I want to lose that urge to size up other big women and wonder which of us is bigger like it's some kind of contest! (Although since joining this board I admit that I regard them with a kinder heart thinking that she might be one of you. :-) ) Annie

I was thinking about high school too. I just turned 23, and I've only been there as company to my friends.

I would love to run into some people from high school and have them not recognize me.

LOL! This is my twisted form of motivation.

To be active again, to roller skate without almost dieing, for my breathing to be better (okay so that isn't all vanity there but if it happens watch out), to wear sexy clothes again, to have Dh's coworkers look at him with envy the way they did when we first married (BIG ONE HERE), To have the whistles and cat calls again ( I know some women find it degrading but I loved it), to be able to share clothes with my BEAUTIFUL, extremely well built teenager to be. LOL To not have people look at her then at me and wonder how in the world I created such a creature. TO have curves that I am willing to show off cuz they are no longer padded with much unneeded fat, to wear a 12 or 14 again.


I know I will never be supermodel thin as I have a large bone structure and wide shoulders which would make me look funny if I was super thin every where else..LOL but to be curvy and sexy again would make me feel 10 times better about a lot of things. I don't know who I am anymore and as VAIN as I was growing up I can't believe I let myself gain all this weight. I keep wondering when I lost that vanity, and that initiative to keep myself looking my best. I may not have been drop dead gorgeous but I got enough attetnion to feel good about myself and I want that back!!


Geez i am rambling.....sorry

1. I want to be able to attend my dgc sports events. The walk from the parking lot to the sports field is to much for me. And then there is no way I can sit on bleachers.
