Total Humiliation :(

I'm sorry, that must have really sucked. Let it motivate you by all means but don't be ashamed. Nobody is perfect, things like this are crap but **** happens and you can move past this and let it inspire you towards NEVER having to feel that way ever again. You can do it.

I think we've all had moments like that, and they suck! You're definitely not alone. I remember multiple humiliating incidences regarding my weight. However, I try to think about them positively and use them as motivation to improve my health and my life in general.

Not exactly the same, but I started my weight loss when my Boss gave me a suit and I couldn't button the pants. I was really embarrassed to write him an email letting him know that. I mentioned needing to loose some weight and he was very enthusiastic. It turned out to be the spark that I needed.

I sorry sweetie..let this be the kick you need..you'll look stunning in it!

i was asked to be a part of my step-dad's funeral and had to buy a new jacket to do it...and then i had to go to 3 stores to find on that was large enough to fit me...i still have the jacket and put it on every once in a while to remind me

Use it as motivation.

You've got this.

You know what? It takes something big and nasty to happen in our lives in order for us to finally say 'enough is enough', to get that strong will in us and to turn it all around. I know that you can do this and will.

The following was posted on my newsfeed this morning by a friend and I think it's something we all need to do every day and thought it may help you:

**********
"I will beat her. I will train harder. I will eat cleaner. I know her weaknesses. I know her strengths. I've lost to her before - but not this time. She is going down. I have the advantage because I know her well. She is the old me.." This is my new mantra. I will not let her win - she is only as strong as I allow her to be. And, believe me, she is doing her darnedest to get me to quit. Not happenin'.

YOU CAN DO THIS :flowerforyou:

Use it as motivation.

You've got this.

its not till May, go kick some *kitten*,

It is a horrible experience. My massive wake up call was when i was 18 and chosing a dress for prom and had to get a size16, and that only just about fit. I've lost four and a half stone since then, i'm sure you can do it hon. Use that humiliation to give you strength and determination

Hello beautiful lady!!

First off- this happens to LOTS of people. It's so easy to gain weight! Don't berate yourself, because the fact that you gained just means you were investing in other parts of your life and weren't focused on vanity and how you look, and that's not a bad thing really.
Now it's not a big deal, just remind yourself, "oops I let my health slip a little bit, now time to prioritize again!"
When you're cooking a ten course meal it's easy to let one pot boil over while you pay attention to something else, right? It's ok that you gained, it happens to millions of people. What will set you apart is that losing weight only happens to a percentage of those people who gain it, because it takes guts, hard work, lots of faith, and lots of heart.
The best and most well-rounded people I know have gained weight and lost it again, and the journey alone made them a better person.
You are too good to let there be a delay between your decision and your actions. You are too great to allow yourself to be subjected to that kind of humiliation again! Protect your pride girl!!!! Stand up for yourself and shut up anyone who would be a negetive voice making you feel like less of a person for weighing a few pounds more than you did before.
What is important to know, is that the person who is most likely to tear us down is ourselves. You won't hear anyone else's voice as much as you hear yours, you won't hear the truly honest opinion of anyone but yourself, and there is no one in your life with more influence over you than you!!!
Do exactly what makes you happy, and give yourself nothing less than what you deserve, an exterior that matches the interior! Nothing is worse than reaching the bottom and thinking "this is it, this is the lowest I've ever been" than staying down there and wallowing in it! It's our natural reaction to get the hell out of that terrible place, and fast!
You can do this!

I'm Maid of Honor at my best friends wedding in May. She's super organised and has had everything booked and paid for over a year in advance. This includes bridesmaids dresses. I had tried on a (UK) size 14 in the spring last year and it fitted perfectly. Now a year on we did the fittngs and I've put on so much weight, when I tried to squeeze it on, I burst all the seams and had to be helped out of it by the bride . I couldn't get on the next size up and have had to buy a replacement two sizes bigger and even thats tight. Urgh, I was so humiliated, I could have, and almost did, cry. Its given me a well needed wake-up call, I just feel so ashamed.

When is the Wedding, whats the plan?

You know sometimes, we need something to give us wake up call so we can finally say - enough is enough

Fat is temporary condition, it's not you!

You go girl!! You will be great at the wedding and years from now, the hurt will be gone at at your new weight, you will thank the bride for this changing moment. When people comment, you will know deep down the event that changed your life and hopefully your friendship with the bride will deepen because of this connection.
