    I had a breast implant to rupture and I REFUSED to have it fixed weighing 242 lbs.

    Still haven't had it fixed (it's saline so I'm ok) I am 15 lbs from scheduling the consultations!!! Money is sitting in the account all ready to go :D

    Two things - they happened around the same time:

    -I was facing major surgery for glaucoma. In my case, the condition wasn't weight-related, but it made me want to take control of the issues in my life I could control. I didn't want to add weight-related problems (diabetes, heart disease, etc.) on top of what I already had to deal with.

    -I was sizing out of the plus sizes from my favorite stores. My size 24 jeans were super tight and I needed my DH's help in zipping them, I could no longer wear 24 pants or dresses, and I had to buy size 26. It's at the upper-edge at Lane Bryant, Maurice's only carries 26 online, and Macy's don't carry above a 24. That motivated me too.

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

    I have had this same relization!

    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.

    I hate when obese healthcare workers try to lecture me about my weight! Really?!?!

    The first sign was having to size up on my jeans. And then size up again. And again. And the nail in the coffin was when I checked my BMI and realized I was actually considered obese (and I didn't even think I was that heavy!).

    I am going on vacation and I noticed on my last trip that sometimes the people you travel with are judgmental. Last time I went a couple of years ago, I got asked all the time especially from people from other cultures why am i so heavy, why is my brother heavy, don't you care about the way you look. Yes I care. I have been on diets my whole life. I am on vacation, I don't want to have to worry about what I am eating every minute. This time I vowed it will be different. That is my motivation now to not have to worry about these questions and also not to have to worry about being too big for seatbelts on the plane and having to ask for an extension and other things that we plan on doing. I won't be no where near goal weight when we go but I am already further along than I was the last time I went. This time I really want to stick with it.

    When my yearly health assessment came back not good. Also not being able to run and play soccer with my nephew without almost collapsing.

    When I started thinking about planning our next Disney trip and remembered how tired I felt and how much my feet hurt during our last trip.
    Also, seeing the pictures from the trip was a big motivator.
    Another reason is that I live in an area with a long, hot summer. I should have a closet full of fun, cute, summery clothes and I don't because I hate shopping for my fat *kitten*.
