Detailed Answer:
Hi,
There are multiple factors which can be motivating for you to lose weight.
I am mentioning few of them which can be of help to you.
First of all, I like to state that excessive weight is the biggest cause of morbidity and mortality across the world. Almost all the major non-communicable diseases (say diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke) have a major share of excessive weight. It has been often stated that if you want to get a Nobel prize in medicine develops a pill which can reduce weight. In other words, the reduction of weight is very significant for the population at large and can have a major impact on the health of the world population.
In addition reduction of weight keeps your youth forever and most of the individuals with optimum weight shine like celebrities. This can be evidenced by the fact that almost all celebrities remain very concern about their weight because excess weight causes losing and shagging of skin which causes irreparable damage to your inner as well as outer health.
Thirdly having optimum weight helps you to choose your clothes across a wide range and you will have more options for different occasions. In case there is weight is increased it is very difficult to find appropriate clothes for every occasion and this again loves your options in social settings.
Hope I have answered your query.
