Though these reasons for losing weight are my own, inspiration for this list is from this blog and this blogger's list. I felt that it was important for me to create my own reasons for wanting to lose weight. This list will serve as a reminder to me when dieting becomes difficult, when I say that one slice of cake or an extra serving of potatoes won't matter. I can read this list and realize that I'm doing this for me.
- to lead a healthy lifestyle
- not get diabetes
- regulate my PCOS
- possibly help with infertility
- to not be limited by my weight
- to not be embarrassed in public places
- not worrying if I'm the fattest person in the room
- to be able to shop at normal clothing stores
- not being embarrassed to get my picture taken
- to go horseback riding
- ride my bike again without worrying about deflating the tires
- to swim in public in a bathing suit, not a tank top and shorts
- to not be embarrassed by my body when I'm with my husband
- to be able to paint my toenails easily
- to not worry about whether I'll fit in the booth at a restaurant
- to be judged by who I am and not my weight
- to not feel too fat to go to the gym
- to qualify for health insurance
- to be able to cross my legs
- to have job interviews where I'm judged by my merits and credentials, not my weight
- to not have to wear shorts under dresses and skirts so my thighs don't rub together
- to be able to wear my wedding ring again
- to be able to wear my cross necklace without the extender
- not let my eating habits control any aspect of my life
- to be comfortable in the bath
- go to amusement parks again and not worry about fitting
- to fly without needing the seat belt extender
