I (25f) am around 230 pounds and I'm just 5'3" sooo you can see the problem there. And I wanna lose weight because I feel physically uncomfortable moving in my body. Not cause it's painful but it just feels weird. I've always been big but this is my highest weight.
I also wanna lose weight cause i think it would make me more confident. I won't be worrying if I stretch will my belly pop out of the jeans I tucked it in or if my arm flaps will jiggle.
I won't be afraid to run and try new activities because less people would make fun of me if I fail as a skinny woman rather a fat woman. And many other things.
But I hear time and time again from people that losing weight won't help with your self esteem and that if you have low self esteem or a crap body image from while you're fat that that's going to translate when you're skinny and you're gonna find something else to hate.
So I'm sitting here like..... So what's the point then??? I mean yeah health duh lol. But a lot of people 's need to lose weight comes majorly from an aesthetic POV and I'm embarrassed to say I'm one of those people. I'm split 40/60 for why I wanna lose weight and the 60 is for how I look.
I don't know. For the people who've lost weight, did you really not get anymore confident?
