Adding to the list
I decided to cut and paste my previous reasons for losing weight. Can't believe I first posted this stuff 11 months ago. But since this time, the WW program is sticking, I will re-post.
Reason #1 – My health. Tired of being tired, want to reverse the diabetes, protect my heart and not end up in bad shape when I’m older.
Reason #2 – My looks. Don’t care how much I’ve tried to accept myself as I am, or how much some people say fat is beautiful, I’m not buying it. I look better thinner, period.
Reason #3 - $56 a month in diabetes medication. According to the Dr., and from past experience of losing a little weight, if I get the weight off, my blood sugar will go down, and I most likely will not need the medicine anymore, if I watch what I eat.The next reasons are not in any particular order.
#4 Clothes – while the Plus Size market has expanded a lot in recent years (no pun intended), there are still way few choices in plus sized clothes. Especially in pretty lingerie, dressy clothes and chic and cute stuff. I’d rather be caught dead than in a muumuu. As a thin person, I will have more shopping choices and will get more for my money since plus sized clothes cost more. (That irritates the snot out of me, by the way).
#5 Men – let’s face it, your choice of eligible men goes down drastically as your weight goes up. It’s that old double standard, men are visual and looks matter more to them. While to women, we are more interested in personality. Not saying that looks aren’t important, cause who really wants to end up with a cretin.
#6 I have forgotten what it’s like to wear heels. It just hurts too damn much now. Don’t think it’s me getting older, I think it’s putting my bulk on little ointed toes shoes with little heels.
#7 Wearing a bathing suit in public will be no biggie. I don’t want to even think about wearing one right now.
# 8 I can buy stuff from Victoria’s Secret. Not that I will, cause it pisses me off, they don’t sell plus sizes. I mean hey – even Fredericks sells plus.
#9 Sex will be more fun. It’s fun now, but not near as easy as it would be, being lighter.
#10 Energy – God I can’t remember what it’s like to have energy. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.
#11 I can reach my legs easier to shave.
#12 - No more Jabba the Hut. I am pear shaped and when I sit down, my body just condenses down to this Jabba the Hut shape and I hate it. The chairs in our conference room at work are the worst. They are not made for people with wide butts.
#13 - Can fit better in airplane seats. I can't believe that as short as I am that even I don't have enough leg room on a plane, but at my size I sure as hell don't have enough room width-wise in a seat.
#14 - Can fit on a roller coaster again. Not that I want to ride one again, but any and all types of amusement park rides, go carts, bumper boats, whatever - just not possible at the moment.
#15 - Can fit better in seats at arenas and theaters. Had the most godawful experience in Shreveport a couple of months back. Went to a hockey game and could not fit in the seat. I saw other people in the arena larger than me and they had managed to fit, but for some reason I couldn't. Even if I had angled myself to sit I think I would have been so uncomfortable I would have been miserable. So needless to say I couldn't even sit with my group. Not sure anyone evn noticed and I have been mortified and not wanting to go back to Sunday School since. It was the Singles group that went.
#16 - No more snoring, or I hope so. So I've been told I snore. Yeah, that's attractive in a woman. And snoring is worse the more weight you have on you, so maybe I won't anymore.
#17 - Will fit into a restaurant booth. I hate how some restaurants have the table attached to the wall and you can't move it. Well, I went out to dinner last night and squeezed into one. It's hard enough going to a restaurant alone, hate wedging into a booth.
And I thought of another -
#18 - Will no longer feel the need to use a handicapped bathroom stall in a public bathroom, because the "regular" size are too narrow.
