What was your point of disgust?

This just happened to me.
I went to the doctor fearing I was developing a food allergy. The doctor didn't ask me any questions, didn't offer to do any test. Just told me I was over eating.
I told he what I ate that day that I had the reaction. He suggested I count my calories because I'm probably eating 1000 calories more then I thought. Then suggested working out, and going to a dietitian.
I told him I don't seem to have this reaction on days I don't eat this item. So if it's a case of me over eating wouldn't it happen no matter what I was eating.
He offered to do a test to see about a thyroid or if I was diabetic or something that would cause my weight.
But nothing for the food allergy. This doctor by the way was fatter then me.
I was hurt and up set, I almost want to start purging. Because I really don't eat that much. Yes I know I don't work out regularly. I know I could make more meals from home. But I'm 5"7 at 220 lbs wearing size xl and size 14 pants. I know I'm fat. But I'm not so fat that I would think a doctor would assume I binge eat.
So I'm gonna workout and keep track of my calories. I know I can loose the weight.4 -
When my husband stood on the scale and was 10lbs lighter and i gained it, dam skinny jeans cant even get them over my ankles. Time for a change.1

When I was four? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I've been fat my whole life, and disgusted with it for almost the same amount of time.1 -
When i looked at pictures of myself at my son's 1st bday and a baby shower the weekend after. Some on the pictures in the black dress on my profile picture.... I was getting married 3 months later and realized I'd want no pictures of myself which is practically impossible!
So i lost 26lbs since and plan to lose more!2 -
I hit my all time low in May 2017. Was around 172 pounds at 5ft4 and not toned in the slightest. I would cry every single day, eat packets of packets biscuits and cookies and whole tubs of ice cream without tasting it. Sometimes I would walk to the shop after midnight to get a binge feast. It was all emotional for me.
My boyfriend was extremely sorted and I ended up going to the doctors to seek professional help as I was so down and depressed.
My life has consequently turned around in just those three months. I'm down 35 pounds and running 8 minute miles again which is a big factor in my happiness. I started exercising a couple weeks into may.
I've always been active and probably is the reason I didn't weigh a lot more than 172 pounds considering I was piling on 5000 plus calories a day worth of junk.
My biggest lesson I'm learning this time round ( as I've lost weight before albeit at a lower starting weight) is that I really should NOT restrict. I will always binge - my body is starved of the necessary nutrients and I go crazy. I would go 5 days eating under 1000 calories and then have a non stop binge for a month!
Now I eat 1500 - 1700 calories and run around 20 miles a week currently. I worked up to this slowly and have only noticed my fitness improve dramatically the past 2 weeks, including my confidence.
Sorry for the essay, if anyone actually had read this ! You can add me as a friend or I'm on Onstagram as kittyrbrandon to follow my running13 -
Meant to say my boyfriend was supportive0

it's been a moving goal post of disgust. needing to get bigger jeans. realizing i was wearing my pants out from the rubbing in my thighs. getting winded going up a flight of stairs. having to ask my husband to carry the laundry because it was too exhausting. my dogs being overweight at the vets and hearing well, you can usually tell that they're not getting walked because the owner is overweight too. eating an entire pizzahut pizza by myself. acid reflux. not being able to tie my shoes without bending my knees in a weird way to the side. seeing my arms. seeing my backside in a photo.
all of these things just grossed me out in different ways. but. now i'm focused more on why i'm keeping going.7 -
For me hitting 13 stone (182lbs) was the tipping point - had been unhappy with clothes being too tight and looking pregnant even though my youngest is 8 but hitting that new high on the scales was the trigger to do something.0

A guy I liked told me we could go out but it would be a secret. He had no issue with wanting to sleep with me, just not being seen with me. Oh hell no. 1. He's not getting anything. 2. My whole new goal (ok...not really, but it's motivating for right now) is spite. I'm going to get so far out of his league. Lol

I went to a baseball game with my husband, kids, and his friend and I couldn't keep up. We had to jog to get to the game on time and I felt like I was going to pass out. I lied and told them the city air was killing me but really it was being fat. The next day we went around town and was equally bad. I felt like I had played a basketball game by the time I got home. I knew I needed to change. I was so embarrassed that I was trying to hide sweating and panting while everyone else was fine.
I had been on bedrest while pregnant and gained and then was too scared to diet because I didn't want to lose milk because I was breastfeeding. My son still does morning and night but I don't mind now if we had to stop because he can just drink cow milk. I also noticed things like having a stomach that I never had and my arms are usually pretty muscular with living on a farm but they are chunky now.1 -
My blood work came back showing insulin resistance. I couldn't believe I ate my way into this! I've lost 15% of my body weight since May.8

I understand the nursing concern as i am tandem nursing my 2 yr old and 3 month old. So i set the the app to loose 1lb a week and im including my nursing in the app so i get more calories. So far my milk is just fine (its only been a week and a half since i started). And ive lost 4lbs (i know water weight but its a start)!0 -
I started to weigh more and more and when my clothes didn't fit me, had to purchase larger sizes. Although I was disgusted, it still wasn't enough to motivate me. When I had to buy even larger sizes because I outgrew the previously larger sizes, I became really disgusted. When my coat didn't even fit - that was it! I went from a size 4-6 to size 14 in 10 months. (118 to 158)0

When I was struggling in my pole fitness class. My belly fat hung over my shorts and I was unable to lift my weight to climb.1

Was in a Dennys and ordered a veggie skillet. Overheard the server tell the cook that the "pig at table nine is asking for extra veggies, like it's doing her any good". Normally I wouldn't get upset, but something just snapped. Just tired of being reminded about my weight.2

I too saw a photo (Christmas 2016) and was traumatized. I never realized how large I had gotten. A few days later, my largest pair of pants felt tight. That was it...18 months and 75# down with 10 to go. I don't care if it takes me another full year to get there -- As long as things are headed in the right direction.6

Seeing my 5XL shirts are even starting to become tight on me. Sering photos of myself compared to 3 years ago when I was doing really well. Not being able to fit in the seats at a sporting events or the movie theaters.3
