What Your Non-Health Reason?

[ElliottX9 0]

I want to see a photo of myself and see the same person I feel like I am inside. I want to be able to see a chair with arms and not have a moment of anxiety if I am going to fit, and then be comfortable sitting in it. I want to stop feeling like the "third sex". I want to wear a bra that doesn't resemble scaffolding!

I want to be free to do whatever I want......ride any ride at an amusement park, sit in the middle seat on an airplane, ride in the backseat with 2 friends,-------to never have my size cause me to pause about living my life.

I want to dress in clothes that reflect my fashion sense and not be required to pick the least offensive items at LB.

I want to get back into singing/acting.....as the weight crept on my self-esteem plummeted and I backed away from performing. I've never been an average size and am excited about the types of roles that would be available to me if I was.

I wanted to be able to walk into any store and pick out clothes and wear them. I also wanted to be able to go on roller coasters and not have to stand on line for an hour worrying about weather or not I was gonna fit

[NaNcyNiCoLe 94]

I want to run 5K's and wear a bikini with confidence. I live on the beach and I wear shorts. NO MORE

[BeccaG 5]

I want to look in a mirror or window at my reflection as I walk by while shopping. I don't want to be the fat mom at my daughters school any more. I want to have great sex! . I want to wear a pair of Louis Vuitton or Jimmy Choo shoes with an awesome pair jeans. Really, the list is so long. I could keep going and going...

No knee replacement surgery!

[Krussell19 217]

So I could walk up a flight of stairs without feeling like I was going to die!

So I could comfortably bend over and tie my own shoes.

So I could safley have a healthy pregnancy and have the energy to keep up with my babies once they are here.

So I could buy clothes off the rack without buying the biggest size and hope it would fit if I stretched it enough.

So I could shop with my friends in a normal store.

So I could ride a rollercoaster without worrying if id fit in the seat.

So I could pick out an outfit ,put it on and feel confident and leave the house instead of trying on everything I owned and ending up sitting around crying because I hated the way i looked.

I want to be IN pictures with my kids so they have memories of me when they are young.

I want to shop at target and other inexpensive stores in their regular section.

I don't want to feel like my students are looking at my fatness.

I want my children to learn consistent healthy eating and not witness a lifetime of roller coaster dieting.

I think I'm with Elliott about seeing a photo of myself and see the same person I feel like on the inside and of course to shop I already like to shop but a little harder and lot more expensive for plus size

[Kflower84 56]

Want my husband to think, "wow, that's my wife!"

I want to have a healthy weight for when I decide to get pregnant. (hopefully next year)

I want to be able to play and run with my 7yr old nephew and my own kids. (when I have them)

I want to ride rides in the amusement park.

I want to look good in anything.

and the list keeps going....

[hopetolose 192]

I wanted to jump in and let you know all these are possible... I was doing this list 19 months ago and I am living the possibilities now. I am shopping at regular stores and loving it. I sit in plane seats and don't feel like im gonna take out the person next to me with a part of my body. I can breath when I walk and climb stairs. I can tie my shoes in the middle now. I can wear jeans and feel comfortable in them all day instead of wanting to take them off after 15 minutes.

the list goes on...

the only thing I can't do is do the bikini, but I don't look to shabby in a one piece :-)

keep up the great work everyone, you WILL get there!!!!

I want to look good and feel good in clothes....

Not only that, I want to go through the Police Academy.

About 3 years ago I was going to go through it but ended up getting hired as a dispatcher for the PD. I needed the money at the time so I decided to accept the job.

Next, I want to run a Marathon....one that is for a cause Like Breast Cancer Awareness.

...and I want to do Jiu Jitsu.

I guess I could have just said "I want to be a bad ass" and it would have covered all that lol

[MiniMi 1,468]

I want to run, run, run, as a runner does. Like a gazelle. Effortlessly. Not gasping for air with a 100 lb sack of fat on my body!

Good luck. Running a marathon and taking a martial arts class is on my bucket list as well

Thank You! Good Luck to you as well. I wanted to do it growing up but was involved in way too many other sports to join.
