Why do you want to lose weight? For many different reason. Tired of looking frumpy and flabby. Want to look great in clothing. I am a very confident person in my abilities and who I am, but all that disappears when feeling self conscious about my wieght and appearance. Tired of doubting or not wanting to go out and meet men...although to be honest it's only one man that I really worry about this worth, and it has been all too consuming.
