Post Your OH CRAP, I'M FAT, Wake Up Call Pics

in Motivation and Support
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.

    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

    This is me (on the left, obv) lol with Adam Leadbeater, we met last year in a bar down the road from my house. He is the voice of Chester Cheetos, and was in Lost and True Blood.
    He took me out for drinks, and messages me on a reasonably regular basis still (particularly now I've lost more weight...)

    Yep. 294.6 pounds.

    Here is what I'm shooting for, my former weight loss after photo at 180:

    I know I can get there because I have BEEN there.

    This was the first pic I saw that was taken after I had my daughter. It had been 3 months since I had given birth and it was the first pic I saw where I could not use "Well I'm pregnant" or "I JUST had a baby" as an excuse. I was horrified. This pic was on my fridge for a long time. I hated this pic so much that every time I wanted to over-eat and I saw it hanging there I could not bare to cheat.
