Re: Weird tattoo thoughts

[(Anonymous)]

You are very unlikely to lose that much weight. You are even more unlikely to keep it off. That doesn't make you worth any less than if you were thin.

Why not get an awesome tattoo that feels special to you now? Why wait for something as arbitrary and unlikely as losing weight?

I don't find "not being obese" and "being only a little overweight" to be "arbitrary." And when it comes to permanently marking my body, I want it to be for something that I worked extraordinarily hard for.

NAYRT

I sincerely hope that you can achieve your weight loss and get your tattoo! Please be safe in picking out your weight-loss regimen (if you can call it a "regimen"), though.

Would you be okay with sharing the tattoo design?

Oh, definitely. I've got a friend (from college who lives far away now, but we still talk on Facebook) who's spent about a year embarking on this 100-pound journey where she's exercising hours a day, always kvetching about what she "can't" eat and was super proud of her first "run til I puke" outing. And yeah, she's lost a ton of weight and is near her goal, but none of that sounds for me (and I've always questioned the healthiness of exercising until you throw up).

I'm definitely more about incremental lifestyle changes. And I'm real good about *starting* but have historically been very bad at keeping with it. But a couple months ago, after years of looking in the mirror and saying "this isn't how I want to look when I'm 30," I turned 30, looked in the mirror, gazed at my fat rolls and belly, didn't see anything different and said, "Yeah. That's enough of that."

So I'm really hoping to do better this time. And it's not like 120 is some magic number that I HAVE to reach, I just want to feel considerably better about the way I look and feel and AM health-wise.

Would you be okay with sharing the tattoo design?
I've always loved fire (seriously, I could just watch a fire burn for an hour) and my grandparents always used to call me their tiger, so I've been thinking of a play on the phoenix symbol, only instead of a bird rising up, it's a tiger whose stripes are formed from the smoking embers.

And thanks for the encouragement! :)

Well yeah. You're also unlikely to successfully run a marathon, significantly improve your vertical jump or learn to do bike tricks.

So why try? Clearly if you're trying to do something difficult with your body you hate yourself.

Body fat can make a difference if you actually care about tattoo placement--there are certain places I won't get a tattoo on because they're liable to expand or shrink over the years and I want to predict how the image shows up. It isn't the internet's job to tell this person what they should do with their own body. It's perfectly valid to either care about or not give a shit about this sort of thing.

Hahaha. You sound like someone who either doesn't need to loose weight or has given up.

I need to lose 100lbs. I'm down 30lbs and I'm not stopping. It takes dedication and completely changing your lifestyle.

So, fuck you for telling someone they can't and likely won't lose weight. It sounds like you don't know anything about motivation and having goals.
