It seems like we've all got them. We're going along in our lives, maybe we realize we've gotten heavy or maybe we just haven't paid attention to ourselves. You attend and event or party or you're just hanging out with friends and someone snaps a pic. When you see said pic and you have that "OH CRAP, I'M FAT" moment that changes everything for you. The moment you realize that you let things go a bit too far and something must be done. Well, call me a masochist, but I want to see the pictures that changed everything for you. It's actually not so much masochism as it is a reminder, a reminder to look back and see how far you've come (or if you're just starting, the reason you're here in the first place) and to never forget where you've come from.

I will bravely head this up with mine. Bring on the cringe-worthy images!

    I have quite a few of those LOL. I knew I was overweight though, so they weren't really "wake up call" pics. But here are a few when I knew I needed to "do something".

    This one is the worst to me for some reason. I think all the fat in my face squishes my eyes :ohwell: lol I love to smile but hate what it does to my eyes. I am hoping as I lose weight this will resolve.

    Now the REALLY bad ones I took as before pictures that were a huge wake up call I am saving until the end lol

    Just comparing how swollen my face was to pictures from maybe 2007-2008? Yeeeeesh. Luckily my face has lost some weight since the pic on the right.

    How do you post a pic? I don't seem to have that option (that I can see).

    Still took quite a few years after this to do anything about it though.

    Wow, if your profile pic is any indication, you've made quite a huge change!

    At first I looked like this: https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/398163_10150566583538274_389315873_n.jpg


    Then I saw my arms in this:

    Then I realized how long it had been since the white shirt in the first photo fit me like that ;_; on my way to change! :3
