If you are struggling to lose weight, there may be days when you forget why you are trying in the first place. Here are some reasons you might not have thought of:
To Run From Wild Animals
There may come a day when you are standing in your yard, watering your lawn, and a polar bear comes out of nowhere. If you were a few pounds lighter, you would be a little faster.
To Use Less Water in the Shower
If you lost a few pounds, you would save water and your water bill would decrease. You would also save time in the shower and time drying off. How valuable are time and money to you?
To Use Less Gas in your Car
The heavier you are, the more work your car’s engine has to do. Lose a few pounds and increase your car’s gas mileage.
To Decrease your Likelihood of Being Hit By a Meteor
The Earth will inevitably be hit by a meteor. The bigger you are, the bigger the target on your back is.
To Decrease Your Likelihood Of Being Eaten By Cannibals
If your airplane ever crash lands on a deserted island, your fellow passengers will eventually resort to cannibalism. They are going to eat the largest people first, because they have more meat and can’t run as fast (see Reason #1).
To Have Less Belly Button Lint
The bigger your belly is, the deeper your belly button will be, and the more belly button lint you will have. You may have enough in there to knit a sweater.
To Play Sports Better
Your performance in every sport would be improved if you lost a few pounds. You would run faster, move quicker, and jump higher.
To Get Drunk Quicker
The smaller you are, the less alcohol you would need to get drunk. You’ll save money on alcohol, and your date will become attractive much more quickly
To Fit In Seats More Comfortably
The smaller you are, the more comfortably you will fit into seats. Everywhere you go, the seats seem to be getting smaller -- on the subway, on the bus, in the movie theaters, and on airplanes.
To Live
Obesity-related diseases will make your life miserable and make you die earlier than you should. Life is already short. Why shorten it more by being overweight?
