Reasons To Lose Weight.

Some people are having trouble finding a reason to lose weight, and spending more time coming up with excuses. Let’s change the mind set here and I’ll post some of the best reasons, either that I’ve heard from others that have lost or things I have noticed myself since losing weight.

  1. You can see your toes. Really, I know this is very cliche, however, it’s true!
  2. Ladies, here’s a slight negative, your boobs get smaller…BUT, your stomach is much smaller so it works out! Right?
  3. Guys, remember this phrase, “For every 30 pounds you lose, you gain an inch.” Enough said.
  4. You can shop in the fun stores, cause we all know that the Big and Tall sections are lacking, and typically old foggie stuff.
  5. You feel better about yourself. Who does not want that?
  6. Losing weight can, and does, help with depression and sometimes allergies.
  7. Not just to mention #2 and #3, but ones sex life gets WAY better. I’m not going to give too much here you dirty bastards…just trust me!
  8. Just overall healthier: blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, reduced risk of heart attacks and strokes.
  9. Sleeping just becomes easier, between no more weight related sleep apnea and not as much pressure on the back and body laying down.
  10. It’s easier to get into and out of a small car. Read: sports car, guys.
  11. You shrink if you lose alot of weight (top of head, feet, fat in joints)…so those uncomfortable ass seats at the sports arena are a little better (not to mention you are not as wide)
  12. Did I mention sex is better? Ok, just checking.
  13. You don’t run out of breath walking down the hall or walking thru Wal-mart.
  14. You can keep up with your 3 year old son who knows only 3 speeds: high, higher and reverse.
  15. You can fit into the cockpit of an F-16. Which would be important if you were in the Air Force and had to fit into it…but still, this is a positive if the others are not working for you.
  16. Have you seen the bathroom stall things in an airplane? One word: TINY. Think of how much easier it will be to squat down with less weight on your body.
  17. Hats. Not only does your body shrink, but your head does too. Hats fit better. Crazy huh?
  18. I mean sex is WAY better.
  19. This might fall under negative, but, when your wife asks you to climb up into the attic, you cannot use the excuse, “I’m too fat and am over the weight limit on the cheap rickety ladder”. Actually, that is a negative now that I think about it.
  20. Ladies, come on… you know the lingerie is sexier in the smaller sizes!
  21. You can skydive. Which means when you are out flying your F-16, if something goes wrong you can jump out and be safe. Score!
  22. When you go golfing (either real golf or putt-putt) its alot easier to get the ball out of the hole if your belly is not in the way.
  23. No more “fat person complex” at an eating establishment. You know what I’m talking about, when you feel people are looking at you and making fun when you walk up to the buffet to get a second or third helping.
  24. No more lifting the roll(s) to wash the crevasse. Some nasty stuff can get trapped in there!
  25. Less plumbers crack. Follow me here: when you lose weight your love handles and belly don’t hold your pants too low anymore, so you can pull your pants up to the point it covers your coin slot. This is a major score! (Especially for everyone behind you!)
  26. Last but not least…SEX is much much much better.
