Are you asking my rock bottom?
I though I was going to die. And soon.3 -
Yeah, add me to the "looming threat of death" group.
But it was also anger. I'd believed so long I had no control over my weight that being threatened with death was my push to actually research and learn so I could prove that I could take control.2 -
I had lost about 30lbs then I regained it really quickly. Along with the re-gained weight I had the added bonus of developing Osteo Arthritis in my hips and knees. The pain was excruciating but since losing over 30lbs it has improved no end. Not exactly a "Rock Bottom" more like a warning shot. Also I didnt like the way I looked in the mirror. I have another 30 lbs or so to go to goal. Hopefully this will be the last time.
But it is not a good idea to wait until you find your "rock bottom" just start now because by the time you hit your rock bottom it might be too late.4 -
My rock bottom was learning I had the beginnings of liver damage from NAFLD and I was still in time to reverse it instead of heading towards a future liver transplant. Also my blood glucose was just about up to prediabetic levels and diabetes runs rampant in my family, that’s one family tradition I did not want to continue. The previous poster is correct, don’t wait any longer!2

My rock bottom is now. I can't get motivated. I'm fatter than ever...only a few articles of clothing fit...I'm tired and sore all the time and I'm so ashamed of myself that I'm avoiding social situations.4

After a night of eating too much and drinking too much wine I heard a program on the radio that detailed the dangers of drinking every night. For some reason that hit me. I knew I was too fat and at age 61 I just said "enough!" I can at least stop drinking during the week and start eating healthier. Knew that it was only going to get worse and I didn't want to be a fat old lady. Never turned back. Now down about 90 lbs and have been at or under my goal weight for over 6 years.10

Don't be ashamed, most of us have been there. You are only human.
Be proactive. Start making small changes to how you eat. Try and hit your calorie goal every day. Start moving a bit more. You want to change so start now. You are here for a reason. We all are.
Welcome to MFP. Welcome to your future.

My rock bottom was when I stepped on the scale on my birthday, and I weighed 202 pounds. I’ve never been over 200 pounds in my life, and I sat down on my bed. And I cried. On my birthday. In that excruciating moment, I decided that my birthday gift to myself was going to be the gift of good health. So far, I’m down 26 pounds and counting on...11
