Just to throw it out there to all you wonderful tumblrs - these are reasons why I am losing weight:
- for my health - i want to be 90 and still playing tag with great grandchildren
- to achieve confidence - i want to love myself, and not constantly compare myself to gorgeous people around me
- i want to wear bikinis and lingerie and KNOW i look damn fine
- to have the satisfaction of actually following through on something big and important
- as a big “eff you” to anyone who told me I wasn’t pretty
- to wear short shorts and short skirts without feeling like a beached whale
- to go running in a sports bra and spandex
- to not continue exhausting myself with making up for my ‘poor looks’ with self deprecating humor and a bubbly personality
- to be able to believe a guy might be interested in me instead of assuming he has an ulterior motive
- to learn how to live healthfully before i enter the ‘real world’
- to look in the mirror and be satisfied instead of crying with frustration
- to not be self-conscious eating or exercising in public
- to love my damn arms….and my legs even though that one dimple of cellulite never ever ever seems to grow smaller lol
- to not feel as though my friends consider me the fat one
- to not be as insecure in social situations
