Here are a just a few of the reasons why I want to lose weight. I'm sure a few of you can relate to one or two of them.


1. I'm sick of waking up every morning thinking, "I hate being fat."

2. I'm sick of avoiding mirrors. I absolutely hate walking by those huge mirrors in stores and malls. I'll walk in a completely different direction just to avoid them.

3. I'm sick of not being able to shop for the clothes I WANT, instead of what I can actually fit my big butt into.

4. I'm sick of having low self-esteem. It's heart breaking to miss social events and get togethers because I'm too ashamed of my appearance.

5. I'm sick of going to the mall with my friends and having to wait outside of American Eagle and other stores that do not cater to "big girls" because I'm too ashamed to walk in, fearing that I will be laughed at.

6. I'm sick of having to wear a shirt over my bathing suit in the summer.

7. I'm sick of worrying whether or not I'll fit into the rides at amusement parks.

8. I'm sick of avoiding my husband's co-workers fearing he will be made fun of for having a fat wife.

9. I'm sick of feeling as if I'm less of a person because I am overweight.

10. I'm sick of not having the energy to play and run around with my 7 year old son. I just want to be healthy!
