What was your point of disgust?

I have started diets in the past in moments of disgust with myself, but not this time. This last time I came here because I want to live and long and healthy life. I want to treat me right. Looking better is just a bonus.10

When my 2 daughters told me mom you are "fat". I knew that they were right, I was always tried and hardly made time to play with them. They even said "mommy you don't play with us".15

Probably at the beginning of my weight loss journey when I heard two men walking behind me laughing. Jokes on them because I could shed lbs but you cannot change a nasty bitter person27

It was two years ago, I realized I was getting rounder and asked my friends and they told me no. A few months of this and I finally got on the scale and was distraught to see I was almost 200 lbs. At 5'1 that's big. I said *kitten* that! Started working out and eating less than I was but still eating too many calories. My bf at the time saw my workout DVDs and said I can see they're working, as a nasty joke. I found fitgirls guide a few months later and it blessed me and I began losing weight without a fad diet or anything other than lifestyle changes. Twenty lbs down, my ex apologized for how he treated me and I laughed at him. Now I'm in the 160s and maintaining while trying to get motivated to work out more often and continue slimming down and bettering my health.18

A guy I really liked told me to stop eating. It hurt me so bad that I said enough. I'm going to show the world who I really am.13

Oh my dear, I really hope you have nicer guys in your life than that! And that you realize that you are valuable and worth a man's best manners, not his derision.

When my husband asked me why I hide from him when I change. Didnt realize I was doing it but once it was pointed out to me i had to admit to myself I wasn't comfortable with me anymore23

I was denied lung transplant surgery because my BMI was 30.2 and their cutoff is 30. They told me I had to lose 20 lbs to get on the lung transplant list. I started here the next day and lost 40 lbs to reach a healthy BMI. Along the way I decided transplant surgery wasn't for me but I've remained commited to healthy eating and a healthy weight.31

It was a photo. I didn't have weight issues until my 30s. Before then, I was thin and healthy and fit. Seeing that photo proved that I wasn't the thin person i thought i still was in my mind.13

I hung up a nice big mirror in my house for decoration and now every time I walk through my house and especially to the kitchen, I get to see just how fat I really am, especially in the face and neck. Looking at your reality repeatedly throughout the day stops the denial.12

I have been in love with a man who I feel
Is my soulmate. He has lived in another state on and off for the last five years and been with someone who was 20 years his junior and also gorgeous and "perfect"....fake tits and all. He moved back to my area this spring and we've been hanging around each other a lot. However, attempts at sexual intimacy have been failures, to put it mildly..... he reluctantly admitted that he wasn't sexually attracted to me. I don't blame him.....I would be disgusted too. At 328#, what should I expect?? I'm done letting food rule and ruin my life! I can't leave this world knowing that being FAT kept me from him.....9 -
I'm not completely sure. I kind of remember looking down at my stomach in the shower and it was just...too big. It was out of control. I was unhappy.3

Honestly, it was seeing a photo of myself from the side... Front facing I can see the double chin growing, but when I saw how I look from the side, it made my stomach sick. That was the big hit to my conscience. And I knew I had to change.9

Im tired of letting life pass me by.
Of not doing things because of my weight.
I'm not confident as a big woman - I want my mojo back!9 -
For me it was due to looking after my elderly aunt, all those out patient visits, all the hospital stays and visiting her, seeing other patients in hospital. Seeing the devestating effects of strokes, dementia, smoking, being overweight, people with diabetes.
Seeing people struggle to walk around due to health problems, some caused by being unhealthy and overweight.
I think what really shocked me was visiting my aunt in hospital following another fall, and seeing a patient
in the bed opposite. She was extremely overweight, covered in pressure sores, her arms and legs chaffing. Yet she came into hospital with a suitcase full of Crisps snacks, fizzy pop etc.
She was a lovely lady, very friendly, she clearly had a lot of health problems though and at some of them (probably a lot) were due to her weight.
Also seeing my aunt struggle to get around in old age, most of the mobility problems are caused by her being overweight.
I just thought to myself that I owe it to myself to be in the best of health that I can be, for as long as I can.21 -
I completely lost myself to postpartum depression and could not get off the couch for an entire winter. And then I took a selfie and saw my puffy face with the start of a double chin. I could not see myself anymore and I wanted my old self back!9
