20 Reasons Why I Need to Lose Weight

Before I started my first Weight Watchers diet… before I ever even heard about Medifast, I was sitting in my room one night. Just pondering life, and all of it’s potential. I started brainstorming the many reasons I wanted to lose weight. There were many more than I thought there would be, and I decided to write them all down. Kind of tough to share, but I’ll do it anyhow.  Perhaps they’ll help you realize why you are losing weight, or thinking of losing weight.

20 Reasons Why I Need To Lose Weight

1. I am not healthy at this weight, and am considered “obese” by medical standards.
2. I am not happy with the way I look or how cute clothes no longer look ‘cute’ on me.
3. My weight is affecting my self-confidence, and even my professional life.
4. The more weight I gain, the more introverted I become. I was never an introvert before!
5. I avoid almost all family and friend gatherings that I possibly can.
6. My thighs rub together, and they wear down jeans in a matter of months.
7. I love to run, and now my knees detest running.
8. I have adorable clothes in my closet that I can’t fit into!
9. I owe it to my first-born child to be at a healthy weight when I conceive.
10. I owe it to my husband to take care of myself to be around as long as possible.
11. My face is round. My jawline is lost somewhere in my face pudge.
12. My husband and I will be having our honeymoon later this year, and I want to be trophy-wife hot!
13. I was an athlete in high school, and that’s when I was my happiest
14. I have back fat rolls that chill under my bra-line. I call them “bye bye wings”, because you see them when I walk away.
15. I have a small spare tire that is annoying as heck.
16. My stomach has a few light stretch marks, but I’ve never been pregnant
17. My otherwise ‘hourglass’ figure is looking quite warped in the middle.
18. To break the cycle. My mother has had a never-ending struggle with her weight.  I’m going to end this.
19. To be a good example.
20. I believe that health and success are directly correlated with each other. You can’t have one without the other… it’s just not right.
