I will stay on plan because I dont want to get diabetes.

I will stay on plan because I'm more knowledgeable now.

I will stay on plan because I have a Dr appt in march - a consult for plastic surgery to get rid of extra skin. so the Dr will see me naked and he's really hot : ( I have gained 50 lbs since my lowest weight. I have lost 12 so far and I set my goal at loosing the 50 lbs but as long as I loose 40 I will be happy.

I will stay on plan because I want my skinny clothes.

I will stay on plan to make myself happy with me.

Isn't Type 2 diabetes also down to genetics and other factors? Skinny people can get it and not all fat people do.

Liliann, why can't you buy nice clothes now? Rollerblade now? You don't know what will happen in the future, if you want to do these things, why put it off?

What has facial hair to do with weight - again it is a thing skinny girls get too, it is a natural thing, why not just find a way to deal with it now? It is pretty straightforward, pluck, wax, bleach, etc.

Also, fat name bullying might end but bullying will not. Bullies are scum and will pick on anyone, fat or thin, tall, short, black, white, ginger. Doesn't matter to them. The best way to deal is to build your self esteem so you do not seem like a natural 'victim'. If you are strong and confident hopefully that will put them off, even if it doesn't you won't mind as you will realise it does not reflect on you.

Do thin people have a magic pass to stay pain-free and not take medication? What makes you think you won't suffer pain or need medications if you are thinner?

Beckaboo, are you sure you will be happy when you are thinner? Why is it important to link your self esteem and happiness to your body shape and do you think this is healthy? Do you value others (friends, family, work colleagues) by their weight in this way, do you like thinner friends more or feel they are better people? If a friend gained weight would you like them less? If so why, or if not why would you value yourself differently from how you value them?

I don't mean to upset people by asking these questions, if I do I am sorry. I am genuinely curious.

Wow thanks for making all of our important to ourselves goals and motivators sound superficial, unimportant and not possible.
This was a really great thread that Lillian started and you just SH*T all over it.
I hope that it made you feel really good about yourself!

AND BTW WE ARE TOLD BY DRS AND SOCIETY THAT IF WE LOSE WEIGHT.... life will be easier, we will be happier, we wont be in as much pain, we are less likely to develop certain diseases, less likely to have facial hair, and a lot of life changing things will happen.

ARE YOU EVEN OVERWEIGHT?

And....
according to you, we should just stay fat and miserable cuz losing weight wont change anything??????
