When my sister in law , who is significantly taller than me, and also had well over 100 lbs to lose, gave me her fat clothes. And they mostly fit.
She does have good taste in clothes though
She and my mother in law both lost significant amounts of weight over the last couple years,and I'll be damned if I'm gonna be the only fat, sick one in the group!3 -
When I told my mum how much I weighed and my step dad said oh you weigh more than me -_-4

Shopping in a store and a toddler in a basket asked if I was pregnant. I said no with a polite smile, and she started to scream, "Are you fat?" over and over again.11

There were other factors, however, when I realized I weigh more than an NFL player, enough was enough.7

I bought a new cute (I thought) outfit for a fundraiser event and they had complimentary photos. I thought I looked nice and wanted a pic with my husband. When they handed me the pic I wanted to cry. It was not at all how I saw myself but it was real and I had to face the truth. The same fundraiser is in April again this year and I intend to rock that photo.11

When the veins in my legs collapsed under my excess bulk and I had to face cellulitus, lymphedema, circulation issues, and a weeping wound on my leg that required multiple courses of antibiotics to heal. Docs told me that the two best ways to manage the condition (the cellulitus and lymphedema cleared up; the circulation issues can be controlled, not cured) was compression stockings and weight loss. And I did not want the 2+ months with that wound to be the rest of my life.4

When you spend more time wondering if you are going to fit in the seat belts or on rides rather then enjoying the vacation.7

When I couldn't avoid having my photo taken on holiday and didn't recognise the person I had physically become.0

Honestly, I’ve had the idea in my head that I needed to lose weight since I was a little girl. I struggled a lot with emotional eating and didn’t have the knowledge/information or emotional tools to finally work on overcoming it until I was about 19. By then, I had already destroyed my body and psyche with years of perpetual ED/binging cycles and could feel my health deteriorating. But I think the real closer was when my doctor (who was a very overweight himself, mind you) looked at me and said, “Well, you’re obese. You need to lose some weight to get a handle on these problems you’ve been having.” And it hurt. That word, “obese”, hit me like a ton of bricks that day, but it was like a lightbulb. It was what I needed, and I reflect on that moment a lot when my old habits try to come visit.2
