I want to be thin because...

[Guest guest]

Hi Ken and everyone

I want to be thin (or at least thinnER) because.......

I want to be able to go to sit in a chair without worrying if I will

be able to fit into it(or worse still, as once happened to me in a

crowded restaurant.....break it)!!!!! Those awful plastic garden

patio chairs are the absolute worst...dunno if they have them all

over the world.... but they have awful arms that all my excess fat

that I am trying to squeeze into the chair all pokes through...very

painful and disgusting to look at!!!!! also going to cinema/theatre

is a nightmare of feeling uncomfortable in a seat that is too narrow!

I want to live life happily and creatively and have energy left over

to enjoy being with my husband and kids

I want to be able to enjoy sex even more!

I want to be able to shop in 'normal' shops for clothes ...and not be

limited to '' (a UK outsize clothes shop)

I want to be able to like and accept my own body (at least a

little!!!)

I want to feel attractive!!!!

I want to hear slim women discussing how much they need to diet

without feeling accutely embarrassed and even a little angry!!!

I want to get further promotions....that I know I won't be considered

for at my current weight!

I want to be able to walk for reasonable distances without feeling

exhausted

I want to feel healthy

I want to be able to look a doctor in the eye and know that I won't

be told to 'go away and loose weight' whatever medical problem i

present with (once happened to me when i went for allergic

reaction)!!!!

I want to feel less self-conscious on the beach/ swimming pool

I want to be able to live my life free of obsessions about food and

eating

I want to break my addiction to chocolate

I want to find a way to sort out my emotions without resorting to food

I want to live for the next 40 years without all the 'fat stuff'

constantly haunting me (as it has done for my first 40 years on this

earth!)

In short........I want to change my life!!!!!!!
