When was you "Oh Hell No" Moment

My moment was when I went to buy new pants for my work. I grabbed a 10 (which I though was my size) and 12 (in case I needed more room). Then I said, "I know I'm not a 14 but I'll take em just in case." Fast forward...I couldn't do anything with the 10 or the 12 and I was literally busting out of the size 14.They were so tight; you could see every dip and dimple. I said, "Oh it must be these pants." So, I tried on two more pair in different styles still sizes 10, 12, and 14. (I think I'm a gluton for punishment!) It seemed like things got worse...The pants got smaller and tighter.

I'm staring a new job at the end of August... I absolutely refuse to buy a size 16!!! No way! No how!! Oh Hell Naw!!!!! I'm getting back in those 10s!!!!!!

I started getting concerned in general knowing I'd have to move more with the service dog I'm getting, but when I timed myself, I could only walk about 5-6 minutes. That was the first major blip, and the second was getting on the scale and realizing I'd crossed the 300 mark to a solid 303.6. That's when I found MFP ... The scale is broken now so I'm not sure my number, but happy to say I'm still on board 12 days

When I stopped fitting into my clothes then I bought some new clothes and in a few months I was having trouble fitting into those too. In November of last year I had bought these cute shorts for a vacation. Now in July I can no longer wear them. That's how fast my weight goes. I can be steady number for a few months then one month I gain a bunch of weight. I'm still trying to figure out if hormones are playing a part in it because most people don't seem to gain weight like I do. I go through periods of "steady" then "packing on". I'm glad I was met with the truth early so at least now I don't have a lot of weight to lose.

I was at $5 all you can eat taco night at a local Mexican restaurant. After consuming far too many tacos, I stood up from the booth and my leggings ripped from the crotch down to my thigh.

Yeah....haven't been back there since. Who would have thought that $5 tacos would have led to 50 pounds lost!

When my family came to visit after I hadn't seen them in a year, and I spent the whole visit on the couch hunched over myself trying to cover up how fat I am, and didn't want to play soccer and Frisbee etc cause I didn't want everyone seeing how much my fat jiggled. I thought I was ok with the size I was until then. Got back onto mfp the day after they left! 31 days and counting, still staying strong!

After wearing nonthing but my nightgown for two weeks and put on normal cloths I was like. "No No No!"

When I learned pretty much the most important thing about clothes; just because you can put it on, doesn't mean it fits. Imagine a 190lb girl squeezing into size 10 short shorts... :sick: The number on the tag meant SO much to me, a bunch of "skinny" or "normal" girls at school wore size 10's, 12's, 8's and such and such. So I figured if I could wear those sizes, then I was normal. Too bad I only realized this once I left school.

i know they are joke photos my friend took when we where fooling around but man when i saw them i knew i should start losing weight

I have struggled with my weight through adult-hood, but 5 years ago I lost 30 lbs really easily.... theeeeen I was diagnosed with cancer. During chemo I was put on massive doses of steroids - like, 200 mg/day. I was an eating MACHINE. My Drs were ecstatic that I was gaining, rather than losing weight. Great... until treatment is over and you look in the mirror all bald AND fat. Gah!!!!
Then, I was warned that the late-term effects of my treatment greatly increased my risk of heart attack and stroke.

I looked in the mirror and said: OH HELL NO!!! I didn't just beat this crap only to die of a coronary!!!!

That was it. I have slowly, but surely, lost the chemo weight & then some over the past 5 years. There were a few hiccups, but overall I am about 65 lbs lighter than I was at that ugly point. I am now within 25 lbs of my ideal weight and I couldn't be prouder of the fact that I am not only feeling great, but my more active, healthier life style is a great example for my beautiful kids... and my chances of seeing them grow up stay higher the healthier I remain.

There's a few. But the flight attendant asked me to move to the back of the plane due to a weight imbalance. I was most definitely the fattest one in my area and she picked me and I had to be separated from my family...it was like a walk of shame. Of course I understand it's crucial to balance the weight of the plane but I took it super personally because I was already self conscious

When i realized that 350lbs is the weight limit for most computer chairs, digital scales and the treadmill.

After 15 friends and colleagues died in 2012 and people I knew started to say they were "concerned" for me in a tone that cut to my very core. I realized my quality of life was pretty much crap and it was time to get busy living or get busy dying.

Mine was Christmas eve family party 2012. I am pretty good at hiding behind people in pics and holding my head at the "right angle" to reduce the double chin, and at home I don't have any mirrors that go to my belly area (no full length mirrors at the time, just my bathroom one and I'm a shorty at 5' 1.5") but my cousin put up candid pics from the party and I saw one of me where I was sitting on the floor, and I was literally ROUND with little legs jutting out, I looked like Jabba the friggin Hutt!!! A few days later I ordered my first DVD set so I could workout from home and I had lost as far as 33.6 lbs, then I got bored of doing the same videos, stopped logging as often and worked out less often, and well just kinda fell off the wagon (ok no kinda about it, over the last 8 months I gained back 18 of those pounds!!!) and my newest "oh hell no" moment was when my sister visited over the 4th weekend from another state, lots of pics taken, and the realization that once again I let myself go! I got comfortable and stopped stepping on the scale and didn't realize I was starting to look bad again, not that I had even reached goal yet (not even close), but starting to look like I did the first "oh hell no" moment, so back at it starting this week!!

I began losing weight due to not eating properly from a divorce and realized that I needed to workout and do this the healthy way. It took a little while and am still working on it...

My 6yr old said that I had the same body shape as his toddler sister...
In reality though its a series of things
