What was your Ah-ha moment?

My Ah-ha moment was when I realized that I couldn't do the psych evaluation for lap-band. I am deathly afrain of anestesia too.
So I said lifestyle change, Make smart choices.....eat moderately but don't deprive and don't run to food. Food is a temporary fix. It won't clean the house or get stuff done.
Just wondering.....
Thanks for playing!!!!

So many doctors are pushing for people to try that lap band surgery. Surgery is surgery and I, for one, said no. Now I am on the same road you are, just trying to learn and unlearn good and bad habits.
I wish you and everyone on MFP good luck!!!

Mine was seeing my relative having limited treatment options for an illness due to being overweight. The doctors said he would have so many more options if only he was at a lower or healthier weight. I decided right then that I would never want to suffer through an illness or disease because of something I did to myself. It feels great being in control over your health and well being. 35lbs down... 20-25 more to go...but everyday Im healthier, happier and more fit!
Congrats on your lifestyle change!0 -
I was looking through pictures on Facebook and my friend said "Oh my, look at your legs there, they were so much skinnier!"

I lost my job, I had no sex drive, I was feeling really down on myself . . . I needed something to feel good about that was about me not my hubs and not my son. When I would look at the skinny women that I knew who didn't have full time jobs I always thought "yeah, if I had all the time in the world I'd look like that too." Seeing as I was out of a job, I deduced I finally had all the time in the world.0

Mine was one of the women in my team saying my tits were big. The last time I checked I was male. :sad:0

While I had been wanting to start exercising and trying to eat right..and quit smoking, I just never got around to it. Well I guess you could say my Aha moment was when I had my heart attack. Tossed my smokes to my wife in the ER and said, "I guess I'm done with these." And I was, haven't had one since. Did not like the idea of leaving my kids and wife behind, so started exercising and eating right. Not really trying to lose weight, I found that it's coming off, 25lbs in 3 months so far.
I think I just lost sight of what mattered (family vs cheeseburgers and smokes) and needed a check to my mortality.0 -
When my daughter said "mommy is there still a baby in there?" Children are honest and that made me want to get up and change it!0
