What was your "Ah Ha" moment?

What was your "Ah Ha" moment when you knew that your current ways had to change? That you had to get healthy? That you were sick and tired of being sick and tired?

I had an "Ah Ha" week! Back in August of 2007 (I was 306 lbs) when my husband and I went on our first week long post baby vacation (without the baby, who was 15 months old by then). We went to Cancun, Mexico for the first time. I was so excited! Here's a brief list of "Ah Ha's":

1) People on the plane not looking me in the eye while I was walking down the aisle (just hoping I wasn't sitting next to them)
2) Getting on the plane and the seat belt not fitting...
3) Going to a resort where I was the biggest woman (sometimes person) no matter where we went.
4) Not being able to go ziplining because of the weight limits.
5) Being packed into a small tour bus for hours!!
6) Going out to the pool and being the only one in a mumu style bating suit....

And the worst....seeing the vacation pictures after we got back home!!
