what is your true reason to losing weight? what things have people to said to you that really pushed you to your limits? tell a little story if you want to. =]

my reason for wanting to lose weight isnt entirely for vanity. maybe 10% for vanity. but the main reason is...i dont want people to judge me before they get to know me. one look at me and people label me as a fat girl whose feelings you dont need to spare. i dont want my fat to be the reason for people to dislike me. to be realistic. skinny. beautiful girls get treated better than fat ugly girls. to be brutally honest. it hurts to hear but that's what the world has become. i was so shocked when my cousin told me that. i'm hoping that after losing that weight, i can strip away any excuse for people to constantly throw hurtful comments at me every single day.

okay so that's my story. tell me yours now =]

[charzzy]

people used to be afraid of me because im huge. :x
also whenever i see clothes i want, they always do not come in my sizes.
i cant go shopping with my friends because i'd be so embarrassed about picking a clothes size.
they're like uk8 while im a 14/16.... sigh.

[RussianButterfly]

Clothes.

so sue me, I like it when I can wear cute clothes and feel comfortable in them.

[chaeBIcheeks_x3]

My true reason? hmm i have a lot of reasons ..
one is for that one special guy you know?.. everytime i seem to have a crush on a guy they end up being my best friends instead of boy friend.!
2nd- i admit it probably is 50 % for looks but 100 % for health i dont want to die at a young age
3rd- when i go to other countries i want to leave a good impression of myself, because my cousin went to thailand/laos and she's kinda big and like no one wanted to talk to her.. etc...
4th- ive been thru all that name calling.. shamoo the whale.. fat as$ .. etc.. i just want that to STOP
5th- even my family puts me down sometimes.. and im going to prove them wrong
6th- for my senior project so i can pass and get out of high school feeling beautiful
7th- to be a role model for my older sister and younger sister hoping that they will follow in my footsteps and start eating healthier too!
there are many more... gosh and all these i take seriously..

hm a story?.. from 8th grade til about 11th grade ive had 5 crushes so far.. one for every year.. I believe that my first and only love(i believe the rest are just crushes) is the guy from 8th grade.. even if it was a one-sided love.. i was pretty brave then so i told him and although he did love me (as a friend) he just wasnt in love with me.. and its so hard seeing someone your in love with fall in love with other people but i guess i didnt think about losing weight to try and get him.. instead i got depressed which hurt him too then my freshmen year the first guy went to a different high school .. but i fell for yet another guy(2nd).. who .. ta-da became my best friend.. and yet he loved me too.. i could tell he didnt want to be with me because i was fat.. but instead of losing weight i just acted like it was nothing until he went out with one of my friends then i was depressed again which hurt HIM too.. but with him we still remain good friends.. third year.. i fell for 2 guys.. one(3rd) i fell for because he was awesome he understood me and he liked me for who i am and told me i was beautiful for who i am but i didnt want to be with him and he didnt want me to be with him because he moved a lot plus he was a bit flirty with girls and he didnt want me to be hurt by it.. then the other guy(4th) i fell for because he helped me get over the second guy .. then in my junior year i fell for my 5th guy which was accidental but i dont regret it.. same reason he only saw me as a sister but not anything else.. right now.. senior year.. im staying away from the whole crush thing and concentrating on losing weight.. although ill always love my first guy.. and still am friends with the 2nd guy and the only one i feel a little towards is the 4th guy who is still one of my best guy friends.. but yeahhh that's one of my stories . pretty long and confusing.. lol

I guess my reason is because both my parents have lost a lot of weight and they're both smaller then I am. Granted I'm Asian and my family is small enough. Both of them are in shape and they always tease my brothers and I about how "fat" we are. So I guess I use that as a motivation to lose weight. My family is real mean when it comes to losing weight. When I first started to lose weight, my mom wasn't confident in me, she'd always be like "You won't stick to it" or something to bring me down. But I've lost 10 pounds already and I'm still driving myself to lose more. T_T

[eastsea_sarang]

so i can start feeling better about myself.
including clothes
lol.

[emc123]

to feel comfortable in my skin. it's sort of sad but skinny for me equals happiness and balanced state of mind

[watcher]

[woei]

i wan to lose some weight bcoz i wan to look good in watever clothes i wear...besides losing weight makes u more confidence n prettier...haha...tats my reason

[suki_*]

pure revenge from a family member. i won

Also being able to try on clothes at the mall without seeing the good year tired around my waist makes me feel and look good too

[envyandy]

to feel better about myself.
peer pressure is a big problem, too.
i hate having my mom say how much more i way than her when clearly i have muscle and shes has only 'fat'

[sujinny]

So shopping is easier, so I don't have to worry about getting that fat, so people can say I'm skinny, and so I can show off a skinny body when I go to Korea ;D

[f0reveralways]

i want to thin out my cheeks + w/e fat is on my face.

[Pol2ns7al2]

easier for martial arts training?
also i want to be prettier and healthier

[SeeinGxStarS]

I was teased a lot in high school for my weight,
and the amount of food I ate. I already posted
my story in a number of other threads, but
pretty much, I weight 190lbs in high school,
made fun of, of how much food I ate during
lunch, and how I was always hungry. But yeah,
At the end of high school I had lost so much
self esteem in myself, I decided to change my
image, and start eating right, exercising right
and over the summer and a month into college,
I weighed 143 lbs. Still do even three years later.
None of my friends recognized me after. Definitely
lifted my self esteem. :]

[smile-jw]

To be healthy, to look good, and to feel good. ^^

Also cause I want to see my relatives reactions :D
(Sorry for this but, HAHAHA OWN'D!)

[STAR_x.]

clothes. : D
+ im going to visit vietnam soon .. XD

[peanutbutterox]

i want to lose weight because i will have major health problems when i'm older. i have to say that i don't want to die at 30 something just because i was overweight. i also want to be able to fit in skinny jeans and yell "What now doubters!!!"

[HONGTN]

Clothes.

so sue me, I like it when I can wear cute clothes and feel comfortable in them.

ditto

[addickshun]

my true reason of losing weight was that i wanna wear a belly ring, which i did
but now i'm continuously watching my weight and keep wanting to lose more :x
