weight loss and outside motivation

I am now seeing many advertisements for Valentines Day. A very important holiday for companies that sell cards, flowers and candies. Spouses and boyfriends/girlfriends (okay, politically correct time: BFs-BFS and GFs GFs too) exchange gifts and cards as signs of love, caring and affection.

Controversial subject and I would like yout thoughts: How much of your weight loss efforts is becasuse of your motivation to physically look more attractive to your significant other? There are obviously many reasons why we want to lose weight, but most of them are "self-geerated" issues. Becoming healthier, lessening your chances of significant disease processes, feeling better about your self -image etc. However, for many, they do care wjhat others think about their "looks" and especially the siginficant other.

I am interested in your thoughts: How much does this play a factor in your weight loss efforts?
