What was your AHA moment concerning your weight?

Mine was catching myself in the mirror after my shower, I mean honestly we all look. But, 26 days ago, I REALLY looked and I did not like what I saw. It's going to be a long hard road and I know it, but, I am ready to tackle it. I want to like myself again, I haven't in years. So, what was yours?

When I got the invitation to my 20th HS reunion and they used one of my photos from senior year on the invite...The contrast between then and now is significant and scary.

Thanks to the magic that is Facebook, I know most of my classmates are in the same boat as me, but that doesn't change the fact i've gained a lot of weight since then and it doesn't look good.

When my husband's side of the family was going to an amusement park and I decided to stay home because I was too fat to ride rides.

Sitting in my endocrinologist's office and being told that if I didn't do something she'd be diagnosing me as a type 2 diabetic at my next appointment (3 months later). On top of that I had just been put on cholesterol meds and had borderline high blood pressure. Oh and I was a fat pig at 269. It hit home....it was rock bottom for me.

Hotel room out of state on vacation. Seen myself in the mirror as I came out of the shower. I'm not an emotional person, but I broke down. It was awful. It was years ago but I didn't do anything about it until March of this year, that's when I got the push I needed.

When I tried to do a jog I'd been doing daily just a year ago... and found myself breathing like I was dying after one lap.

Well this will be TMI, but.

I was tired of shifting aside my belly so I could see and thus take care of the lady garden. I just realized how utterly gross that was and decided I didn't want to be that person anymore.
