What was your rock bottom?

I went to see my dad and he said dang girl your arms are as big as mine in front of my husband, my sister, and her husband. I ran out of the house crying. The same week my husband told me his dad asked if I was going to do anything about my weight b/c I was getting big. It hurt so much more coming from family members. Also, I had went out one night for my bday and some guy walked by and called me fat. I had enought. Jan of 2010 I joined mfp and it was the best thing I have ever done. I still have 30 lbs to go but I now longer hate being tagged in facebook picutres, my family now tells me how pround of me they are, and I no longer have to shop in plus size!

My rock bottom was looking at my FB pics of all my kids and seen that I was not in any of them it made me cry and I told myself i will drop the weight and be in pics so my kids know i was there for every moment of their life!

That must have been very hard. No one would ever say a word to me, but would kind of carefully talk around it, if that makes sense....it's almost as bad, maybe worse, because everyone's afraid to be honest with you.

Being the biggest member of both sides of the family. I was trying to squeeze past my grandpa and he said, "Well maybe if you'd lose 20 pounds you could get by"...I've gone back and forth on exercise and healthy eating. Being in college brought out the worst in my eating habits. I have done well since the beginning of January, and just got over a two week binge fest. Eating McDonald's in the Dairy Queen drive thru gave me my second wind at exercise.

when my "heavy jeans" were getting difficult to button, when i smiled for pictures, even with my chin elevated it still appeared that i had a double chin. when my kids said "mommy, you're getting fat..." i decided to make the change.

Looking at our family pictures that were taken in October 2011 and realizing how big I had gotten over the years and then it really hit when I went to the doctors to talk about what I need to do to get this under control and the doctor telling me I was Obese
