When did you decided to change?

I have a question. When did you decide to change your lifestyle? I seriously woke up one day and decided to start. Nothing triggered it really... I thought it was weird.

Sucky break up and instead of binging i was like "hell no" in my white ghetto girl voice and decided to put the chocolate down and go to the gym ever since ..

When the scale went over 200 at the doctors and she said I really needed to lose some weight. The same time, my mom found out she is pre-diabetic. She had diabetes when she was pregnant with me, so that was my wake-up call that the possibility of becoming diabetic wasn't as unrealistic as I had always hoped.

A few things happened all within a couple months:

I signed up for RAGBRAI, a 471 mile bike ride. I knew i couldn't make it at my current health level.

Turning 30. I always said "Oh, i'll have this weight in check my my 30th BD" Well, that day came and went, and i was still fat.

AND THEN:

I was bored, and decided to watch a movie called "FAT, SICK, AND NEARLY DEAD" on Netflix. That was the day i decided that tomorrow never comes. I would die fat if i kept waiting for tomorrow. That was the day i decided that "IT STARTS TODAY!!!"

I started down the path, and never looked back. 68 LBS lost so far!!!!!!

When I first came across the calorie count app on the app store. Downloaded it, was crap. So downloaded MFP instead. That was 84 days ago. Haven't looked back since

When I woke up from a year long baby haze and realized I wasn't the person my husband married or the person I wanted to mother my children.

So I stopped being selfish and changed my habits. It has been a slow start but it's working.
