Are you asking my rock bottom?

I though I was going to die. And soon.

Yeah, add me to the "looming threat of death" group.

But it was also anger. I'd believed so long I had no control over my weight that being threatened with death was my push to actually research and learn so I could prove that I could take control.

I had lost about 30lbs then I regained it really quickly. Along with the re-gained weight I had the added bonus of developing Osteo Arthritis in my hips and knees. The pain was excruciating but since losing over 30lbs it has improved no end. Not exactly a "Rock Bottom" more like a warning shot. Also I didnt like the way I looked in the mirror. I have another 30 lbs or so to go to goal. Hopefully this will be the last time.

But it is not a good idea to wait until you find your "rock bottom" just start now because by the time you hit your rock bottom it might be too late.

My rock bottom was learning I had the beginnings of liver damage from NAFLD and I was still in time to reverse it instead of heading towards a future liver transplant. Also my blood glucose was just about up to prediabetic levels and diabetes runs rampant in my family, that’s one family tradition I did not want to continue. The previous poster is correct, don’t wait any longer!

My rock bottom is now. I can't get motivated. I'm fatter than ever...only a few articles of clothing fit...I'm tired and sore all the time and I'm so ashamed of myself that I'm avoiding social situations.

After a night of eating too much and drinking too much wine I heard a program on the radio that detailed the dangers of drinking every night. For some reason that hit me. I knew I was too fat and at age 61 I just said "enough!" I can at least stop drinking during the week and start eating healthier. Knew that it was only going to get worse and I didn't want to be a fat old lady. Never turned back. Now down about 90 lbs and have been at or under my goal weight for over 6 years.

Don't be ashamed, most of us have been there. You are only human.

Be proactive. Start making small changes to how you eat. Try and hit your calorie goal every day. Start moving a bit more. You want to change so start now. You are here for a reason. We all are.

Welcome to MFP. Welcome to your future.

My rock bottom was when I stepped on the scale on my birthday, and I weighed 202 pounds. I’ve never been over 200 pounds in my life, and I sat down on my bed. And I cried. On my birthday. In that excruciating moment, I decided that my birthday gift to myself was going to be the gift of good health. So far, I’m down 26 pounds and counting on...
