Re: What excuse do you have......
Great thread!
I want to keep my diabetes under control.
I want to set a good example for my daughters.
I want my diabetic daughter to learn to eat right NOW so she won't have complications later and keep the risk low for my other daughter.
I want to feel good in a bathing suit.. or any clothes for that matter
I want to buy clothing that I want instead of things that "cover up" the fat.
I want to prove to myself and to others that I CAN do this for life (after several failed attempts.)
I want to look like I did in high school through early 20's so when I meet an old friend or send them pictures, they are surprised at how good I still look.
I want to live a long, healthy life and avoid all the diabetes complications that my mom has.~Brandi

I say I think I might be gluten senstive if I'm in polite circles, otherwise I say I didn't lose 45 pounds by eating cake.

Re: What excuse do you have......
This is such an awesome thread and I can SO relate to lots of things that have been said so forgive me if my reasons are repeats of what's already been said.
I don't want to be the "fat" sister anymore
I want to be able to bend over and not feel like I'm squashing every major organ in my body.
I want to go shopping for the NICE clothes and have them actually fit me!
I want to stop hiding in my house and avoiding social events and people as if I have the plague.
I want to get those certain "looks" from hubby I used to get when I was thin and in shape.
And the #1 most important reason of all..I WANT MY CONFIDENCE BACK!! (it hasn't been around in years
)

I want to have my blood pressure under control.
I want to feel pretty again.
I want to stop making excuses and staying home because I'm self conscious about how I look.
I want to stop looking at the people everywhere I go and wondering if I'm the fattest person there.
I never want to shop in the plus sizes again.
I want to be able to look in the mirror and say "Whoa... I look good!"Comment

Re: What excuse do you have......
''WHAT EXCUSE DO YOU HAVE FOR
NOT EATING
THE PIES, THE CAKES, THE CANDY AND THE CARB LADEN FOOD
THAT MADE EVERYONE US OVERWEIGHT?''
My excuses I have for NOT EATING the pies, cakes, candy, high carb foods are:
I want to quit saying, "I dont' have anything to wear because I don't look good in anything."
I want to be able to walk into a clothing boutique and know that they have my size. As it is now, I call first to see what sizes they sell to avoid embarrassment.
I want to walk in my own yard without thinking that the neighbors are whispering about how much weight I have gained over the past several years.
As I walk into a social function, I never again want to hear a loud whisper of, "I didn't know that was her; she's gained so much weight." (That makes for a real fun time.)Comment

Re: What excuse do you have......
I'm 31 pounds away from goal. After spending this much time working towards it, eating things I know will make me fat aren't worth it.
I want to be comfortable with myself - looking in a mirror... perhaps someday even nekkid.
I want my BF to say I look *good* not ok, or cute or sexy, well, I'll keep the sexy part.
There are a lot of people who have motivated me along the way, in turn, there are a lot of people who I motivate. If I'm helping people to get in shape, to workout, to be healthy, it just seems a little hippocritical to go out and gorge on sugar while trying to set a good example.
I want to be able to go in a store and not think about the fact that most of the clothes are too small for me to fit into.
I want to wear whatever the **** *I* want to wear, not what hides my flab the best.
I want to be fit as I get older - I want to look better at 30 than I did at 20, or look like I'm 20 when I'm 30... I'm not sure which is better...
I don't want to gain it all back. I don't want to be the fat girl again. I don't want to feel nasty and lethargic after every meal, I don't want to hurt myself trying to fit into 14s, I don't want to look pregnant, I don't want to risk my health over something I know I can prevent.27/f/5'10"
