Some Reasons why I lost weight.

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

This list has been composed by various people why they lost weight. I thought I

would share part of it with you. I know that we all can relate to why we each

wanted to lose weight.

70. So I don't crave wintertime, so I can hide under big jackets and sweaters.

71. So I don't think mean thoughts when I see skinny women.

72. So my doctor will never say, " you really need to lose some weight " to me

ever again, but instead says nothing more than " see you next year " .

73. So no one will ever again ask me " when is your baby due " , and I'm not

pregnant.

74. So people in the supermarket don't look in my cart when they think I'm not

looking, to see what a " fat person " eats.

75. So I look lean, mean and powerful.

76. So I can say my weight out loud with pride.

77. So the old pictures of the fat lady at the circus don't look like me.

78. So I can say to other people who are overweight, hey, I was there once too,

and maybe help them get to where they want to be.

79. So I don't wonder if people are saying, " what is HE doing with HER " ? (My

honey is skinny and can eat anything)

80. So I don't have to worry about my bathroom scales breaking.

81. So I am in control of what exercise I choose and not what I am able to do as

of being so over weight.

82. So I don't have to give excuses for being over weight.

83. So I can shave my legs in a shower without gashing myself because I can't

see around my fat.

84. So I can ride a horse again!

85. So I can go out fishing with friends, and not be scared to walk inside the

boat because I'm so heavy I will tip it.

86. To be able to go canoeing, and my end doesn't sink real low while the other

person is almost in the air.

87. So my Grandchildren never remember me as fat.

88. So I can stand up in a boat again, with balance and grace, instead of

hanging onto the sides and wondering how I'll get back in if I fall out.

89. So I can boat out to the middle of a lake and go swimming, and be able to

pull myself back in the boat.

90. No more " beached whale " comments, anywhere.

91. So I can go into public and not care what type of looks I get.

92. So I can sit on a bar stool and I'm actually sitting ON it, not on it and

around it too.

93. So a regular towel goes all the way around me, and maybe even looks cute.

94. So my socks pull all the way up.

95. So I can hug my knees to my chest again, and it's comfortable.

96. So I can sit on a chair, and have my feet on that chair too, and not be

sitting on them.

97. So I can wear a low cut sweater and my collarbones show.

98. So I can wear a light blouse or sweater, and there aren't dents where my bra

straps are.

99. So I don't have to worry about arthritis or joint replacement when I get

older.

100. So furniture doesn't groan when I sit on it, or wear out long before it

should because I'm too heavy.

101. So I never have to look at someone else with envy again, thinking, " Wow, I

wish I was that thin " .

102. I want to lose weight so that my breasts stick out more than my stomach and

not the other way around.

103. I can sit comfortably in the lawn chair all the way instead of sitting on

the edge and the arms

pinching me.

104. I can fit into the theatre seats comfortably.

105. I can sit at the booth OR table in the restaurant. I don't have to be

embarrassed because I need a

table.

106. I can look straight down and see my toes instead of bending over to see

them.

107. I can bend over comfortably to tie my shoes.
