When I couldn't keep up with my 7 year old niece..0

Amen...I had a pair of size 16 old navy jeans that I loved. When they got too tight, i knew something might be up, but I just ignored it until I weighed myself and realized I was 210 pounds. Now I can't even wear them because they are so big!0

Huh what a coincidence. Mine too.0 -
Pretty much the same. I finally realized none of my clothes fit properly and that would mean going up at least one size, maybe even shopping in the plus section. Now when I look in the mirror, the image looking back at me looks like the one I had still been seeing in my head. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt. lol0

...when smiling for a photo ALWAYS produced a double chin.0

I just want to feel pretty and not fat any more I get disquisted with the way clothes fit and I probably change into clothes 5 times a day because it doesnt look the way I want it. I just want to be healthy!0

It was the jeans -- I stopped wanting to wear jeans at all they were so uncomfortable.0
-
When my out-of-town grandma said "oh, you were so fit and trim when we saw you before." Ouch!0

When my suit didn't fit for the company holiday party and I had to do the walk of shame to a store for new pants...0

My breaking point was seeing a picture of myself and I didn't look like myself. It was very upsetting because it was the heaviest I had ever been.0
-
When I was fed up with being depressed and emotional about my weight--- that was my wake up call!0
-
When I came to terms with the scale screaming 230 at me and my dr said it was time for bp meds... I was only 32!0
-
When my daughter mentioned this site after it helped her and she knew that I could do it.....then I stepped on the scales and started to cry. Now, no longer plus size...I never want to see a plus size anything in my closet once I hit goal!0
-
When a dress that had been loose when I bought it stopped doing up.0

When somebody tagged me on a picture in FB, and I was a blimp compared to everyone else in the picture.0

When my stomach got bruised in my size 14 jeans....I knew it was time to make a change and when I got tired of people saying you are losing weight AGAIN...from the roller coaster affect! I always had been up and down...I realized I wanted a lifestyle!0

No one thing really. After passing a very important exam I went on an eating binge that lasted 2 days. Then for 2 days I was in absolute misery.
I was also unemployed and I knew I had better present myself in a better light. I haven't gotten a job yet but my confidence improved drastically.0 -
I saw my wedding photos and realized I hadn't even been motivated to rock the gown the way I should have. That, and jeans. When you would rather put on stretchy pants and sit on the couch all night, there's something wrong. I really wish I would have had my wake up call before the wedding though... back fat is NOT attractive!!! :grumble:0

When my size 2 jeans were getting tight....size 0 is my happy size.0

mines is kinda stupid compared to everyone elses.. but my breaking point was in high school in PE class..
when we were running the mile, i passed by the boy i had been crushing on , and he said
"uh oh can't let the whale beat me" .0 -
I should have had a million of them. Growing out of size after size of clothes, seeing myself in pictures, not being able to reach my feet to put on my sandals, noticing my body takes a lot more effort to keep smelling good, getting winded walking up a flight of stairs, I could go on and on.....I can't believe all that happened and I still kept eating. Then suddenly, I decided to stop without anything new happening in my life. I guess it's just way past due.
Although there is something to having your doctor suggest you get your stomach stapled. I don't know, I guess you just have to be mentally ready. I am just so done being fat. I wish it were next year already.0 -
When I had some health issues and my doctor thought I could have congestive heart failure. It turns out I am fine, but it is sure motivating me to get healthy!!0
-
When my pants stopped fitting comfortably and I decided to bite the bullet and step on the scale to find out just how much weight I'd put on...and I was 175lbs, 25 heavier than I have ever been in my life, and that's WITHOUT BC pills and the stresses of university to blame.0
-
Mine was misery. I woke up in pain all through the night... and every morning also not recognizing the gal in the picture all at once it hit me I had about 100lbs to lose. OUCH!!
So I guess when reality was painful all the way around.0 -
When my size 2 jeans were getting tight....size 0 is my happy size.
:huh:0 -
When my 43" waist loose fit jeans were getting tight and I was out of breath walking across the street to the local bank.0
