What are the lowest points, or biggest things that stick out in your memory as the most hurtful and embarrassing moments of you being overweight? Maybe even your turning points?

A few of mine are going through the drive thru of my favorite burger place and having them tell me my order before I could finish saying it
A little girl I didn't even know coming up to me in the park and telling me "you're so fat" i didn't know what to do I just walked away in tears
The whole family planning my sister's 21st and having to exclude certain things she wanted to do because "Amanda won't be able to do that because of her weight, pick something else"
My husband's life insurance denying me, but approving him so if anything happened to him I would be taken care of but if something happened to me he would get nothing, not fair at all since he is the one out there working so hard for us already :cry:
Seeing myself in a full length mirror, I don't have length mirrors in my house, I know I look/am fat but actually seeing it fully staring back at me... :embarassed:

    I just posted something similar myself this week. There was a conversation which led my boyfriend to tell me that I looked disgusting in my swim suit. I wasn't even over weight at the time either. I can't say embarrassing things really motivate me to do better. It really depresses me and hinders me more than anything.

    Sometimes the people we love most are the harshest! This reminded me of another low point for me. When my father and aunt were cracking jokes about my weight right to my face and in front of my husband. How they thought I would find it funny and not hurtful is beyond me.
