My Reasons.
To look fashionable wearing anything. I’m questioning whether I’m cis or not so I want to experiment with masculine clothes. I just feel it won’t look good on me in this weight.
For my face to look prettier. I think I would be gorgeous if I could just reach my UGW, not just body-wise.
For my parents and relatives to regret ever calling me fat, ever telling me that I need to lose weight. For them to beg me to eat.
To feel attractive. To feel like I’m on the league of the people I like and that my weight isn’t holding me back from dating.
So when I feel my body, not only can I trace the bones underneath, but also see them.
So I can have social media accounts without being ashamed to post my face.
To take ballet and other dancing lessons and not look like booboo the fool.
To buy a motorcycle and feel amazing driving it, like that is the only thing stopping my body from flying away and getting lost in the wind.
To feel amazing in general; not like I’m merely surviving in this body, but like it’s actually mine to live in.
So I don’t have to look down every time i spot a mirror.
To don’t be afraid of weighing myself.
So I don’t have to purge or take laxatives ever again.
To not feel self-conscious while having sex.
For my Halloween costumes to look even better.
So the girl that I like can feel physically attracted to me (she hasn’t told me otherwise, but the thought that she finds me ugly creeps into my head every time we talk).
To get leading roles in musicals other than Hairspray. To play my all time dream roles (Maria from West Side Story, Velma Kelly from Chicago and Magenta from Rocky Horror) without looking like an understudy.
So my self harm wounds are easier to cover up and to be finally able to wear short sleeves without feeling like a monster.
To feel like I’m finally in control over something — anything.
I realized I’ve never done a list of reasons as to why I want to be skinny, I’ve seen so many of them throughout the years I’ve spent in this community, and yet I never, or don’t remember ever posting one. Obviously there are more reasons, but yeah.
I need to say this: I don’t think fat people are unattractive, or unworthy in any way, but fat in me makes me feel like that. I obviously don’t “support” eating disorders, this is just my way to vent.
