My wake up moment was when I went to the orthopedic surgeon July 2020 ready to commit to double knee replacement surgery, and he told me he would not operate until I lost 100 lbs. I am currently down 50+ lbs. Needless to say at the time I was disappointed. I had started eating 2 to 3 pints of Ben and Jerry a week when COVID-19 hit back in March. My logic was if I was going to catch it and die, I would at least be happy for a while. Well I am still here, and hoping to reach the goal by April of 2021. My greatest wish is that the Dr. will tell me with the weight loss I will no longer need the surgery. Wish me luck!
For me it was coming across old pictures of when I would spend all day on the beach being happy then looking in the mirror and going WTF have I been doing with my life.
When I realized my drivers license renewal is next year, and I want that picture to look nice because Im going to have to carry it around with me for the 5 years.
One of my husband's friends is a photographer. He takes gorgeous pictures and manages to capture the best side of people, I hate every single one I am in. I used to be so skinny but now can barely stand to look into a full sized mirror.
