Why I wanted to lose weight
Jan 20, 2009
I want to answer this question as well. , so here's my response to apple638 post
1. I too have a family history rich in hypertension,heart disease ,etc and I myself have been hypertensive for years now
2. Being obese increases your chances of certain cancers
3. I'm tired of shopping at the same few places for clothing.
4. I'm tired of asking for seat belt extenders when I get on the plane .
5. I no longer want to scan the restaurant for tables because the booths are to tight on my belly .
6.I too was no longer happy in this x-tra large body . I was to the point that I didn't even feel good in my lane bryant clothes and i thought I was sexy when I put on my LB clothes.
&. Last but not least , I was tired of being the coat and purse girl when me and my friends went to the clubs . I wasn't comfortable so it was hard , as I know that we big girls can pull men , but for the most part this society is not big people friendly and I felt the discrimination .
