Why lose weight?

I have finally decided that I should lose weight.  Why?  I live in Japan & nothing fits, NOTHING, not even women's shoes.  Well, that's a lie, I have bought some men's long underwear (size 4L) & there's a store named 4L where I bought size 4X men's shorts.  Oh, and socks.  The socks fit great.  [I want some pretty "girl" clothes]

I have never actually "tried" to lose weight.  At least not for myself.  I did a 3 month challenge at work & took almost $100 from my co-worker.  Only 2 people, loser pays winner $5 per pound of difference at the end of each month, with weekly weigh ins for tracking.  

So now, at 46 years old, I have decided it's time to make a differance.  I used to weight 130 lbs for most of my life.  Gained weight when I was literally dirt poor & was lucky to have $10 in a week for food.  Almost a straight carb diet.  On a balanced diet my weight doesn't flucuate much.

If I lose weight = I will fit in Japanese stadium / hall seats, I will be able to buy some clothes*, I will have a better chance at getting a job because I will fit into company uniforms, Doctors will stop assuming things based on weight / apearance (they are allways surprised that I don't have whatever problems they assume I should have), Maybe it won't hurt to wear high heal shoes?

* I will never be able to buy bras or regular, non-streach pants because I don't have a board straight Japanese figure.  Hips & Tits will require I go home (USA) to shop. 

PS. Spell check?  I don't see a spell check.  I know I can't spell & I'm sure there must be some mistakes.  How do I spell check??
