I agree with you Gena. And a lot of people say once you lose weight it is easier to conceive. So that is another reason I want to lose weight.

That also reminds me...I'm on the inside portion of the bed--next to the wall. It's really hard maneuvering around my husband to get out of bed if I have to go pee or something. And then I have to do it again to get back in bed, urgh.

And thanks for the backup Sunny.

WOW there is so much great stuff written in these comments!!!

I keep finding so much I can relate to in what you have all been writing.

SunnyBlues...I loved your comment LOL...which leads me to

19. I want to go to the bathroom without having to stand up to wipe properly.

20. I want to no longer have to pee with such urgency...no longer such pressure on my bladder from the excess weight!

21. I don't want to squish into tiny little chairs at concerts and other events. It is embarrassing and uncomfortable!

22. I don't want to end up one of those people in the little motorized carts in stores because they are too fat to walk from one end of the superstore to the other.

23. I want to stop looking at every new diet that comes out in every magazine and book on the shelves and wondering if it would be the ONE.

24. I want to feel at peace with myself and not feel the disgust I feel about damaging my health the way I am when I am so obese.

25. I want to take dance classes and dance the night away!!!!!!

26. I don't want to hide behind other people in pictures anymore!

27. I don't want to hide behind loose, long, multilayered clothing any more.

28. I want people I'm with to be proud to be seen with me. (Yes, I know this is superficial....but it is honest. People are proud or embarrassed by their friends at times based on superficial appearances!)
My ex used to walk ahead of me in public, not beside me. I always felt it was because he was ashamed of me. (HE ADMITTED HE WAS).
It SHOULDN'T matter, but it does to many or maybe even most people. My bf now claims he is proud of me...but then, he weighs 390 LOL.
In his heart of hearts, I know he would rather be seen with a skinny babe on his arm, even at his weight.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO READING EVEN MORE...THIS IS GREAT!!!

Congrats on having the courage to say # 18.. I know we were all thinkning that.. but you had the balls to say it!...love it!!

1.My children told me i was too fat for the trampoline! 4 under 7yrs have spoken and made me feel awful...so that was the last straw really!

2.becoming a student nurse and my uniform being tight gave me another massive push - i don't want to be a fat nurse!

3.being pregnant and being told i am a)too fat for the tables/beds and b)too much of me to see the baby properly.

4).I just want to wear normal clothes and go into normal shops.

5.i want to look nice, feel nice and feel loved and special

6. i want to look at myself in a mirror and feel good instead of rushing past or trying to ignore my reflection

I got one of those trampoline comments. My five year old niece told me that I was too big to get on the trampoline and my parent's house. I showed her. I got out and turned a flip. The downside, now she always wants me to go jump on the trampoline, but I only have enough stamina for about 5 minutes :)

As for the belly button ring, I have one. Got it when I was svelte and young :) Now, I have a deformed belly button that sags and the ring sits right at my pants line, so if I am sitting for a big part of the day, it gets really, really sore. I wouldn't advise getting one if you wear your pants around where your belly button sits.

I want to lose weight because I don't want to have people say to me "you have such a pretty face". One thing that a fat woman doesn't want to hear is that her face is PRETTY!!!!!! Or how about " you're beautiful on the inside"!!!! You know, I don't care that I'm Miss Universe on the inside, I'm quite happy to fly in on my broom, cause my mischief and then fly home again - as long as I'm looking sensational while doing it. :)

I use fat as my excuse to not have an intimate relationship with a man.. I am 25 and still a virgin(religious reasons also).. So I have decided that I would like to be confident enough to find the man of my dreams and wear him out!
1. sex - have it in every position I can contort myself into.
2. Feel good about taking pictures and not hiding behind someone or tell them to only take a pic from waist up.
3. smaller bras... They are way cheaper than spending 50 a pop.
4. To have guys look at me like they would a skinny chick.
5. To not have so much joint pain..
6. To be strong and flexible (also apart of 1)
7. To fit into seats
8. To lose the burden of all this excess weight...
9. Too actually find out what my body is supposed to look like thin.
10. I wonder what my legs look like thin?

1. I want to wear jeans again (and still be able to breathe)
2. I want to live long enough to see my grandbabies grow up
3. I want to be able to take my grandbabies to the zoo or amusement park or whereever.
4. I want to be able to run on the beach with my dogs.
5. I want to learn to kayak and go kayaking-or even canoeing
6.I want to go hiking
7.I want my spirit to match my body.
8. I want to go horseback riding again (my first love)
9. I want to be able to get off disability and find a job that lets me afford to do the stuff mentioned above.
10. I don't want to feel like I'm embarassing my family or friends when we go somewhere.
11.I don't want to have everyone stop and wait for me because I have to stop to rest or find a bench.
12.I want to go to amusement parks...and enjoy it.
13. I don't want to be afraid to get on a boat (that the boat will actually tip too far when I step on the side.
14.I want to be able to keep my house clean
I'm sure theres more, but I stop here.

I want to lose weight so that when I have a bath my whole body is underwater. I'm tired of looking like a buoy in the bath!

That is a good one! I used to love to take long baths...I don't take baths anymore.

I am cramped into the tub and it is hard to get in and out.

I'm not even covered that much in the water.

Thank you for this reminder!!!!!

29. I want to enjoy taking baths again!
