    For me, it was much the same. I walked past a mirror and what I saw repulsed me that and I couldn't fit into ANY clothes comfortably!

    Yeah, I was shopping with my sister months ago and went to a store I love and always shop at because their skinny jeans fit me perfectly. Well, not anymore! I cried after that shopping trip and decided that crying isn't going to do anything, so instead I did some research, found this website and got adopted the healthy lifestyle.

    When my daughter last week said to me "Mommy, why do you have 2 chins?"

    It was embarassing and I so didn't want her to grow up learning bad health. So I'm done and I'm done for good!

    My 5 year old son asked me why my belly looked that way. That was quite the blow to my heart and confidence. He says, "None of my friends bellies look like that, Moma." Of course, I'm thinking well all of your friends are in Kindergarten son I sure hope not. (sighs, rolls eyes).

    I was first asked when my baby was due -- and I wasn't pregnant. A couple of days later, I saw a picture of myself facing away from the camera and didn't recognize my rear.

    Mine was a combination of things. Starting with my 8 yearold daughter telling me that she didnt like it that I was so big because she be sceared that I will one day have a heart attack. Then my wife being turned off from me telling me that 8 out of 10 times that we have sex that she doesnt want to because she is turned off by my weight and that she is afraid that me being heavy will kill me. Then both of my sons are very active. My youngest is involved in every sport known to man and I couldnt even play catch with him with out being out of breath and ready to sit down. But it wasnt until I decided this past November that I was going to lose weight through the Holiday Season to prove to myself that I was ready for a life style change.

    When I looked at my financial statement for my retirement.

    I thought to myself "cool, I'm in good financial shape, I'll have money when I get older!" Than it hit me, I realized that without a healthy body, that money would sleep in an account while I would be lying down, probably with bad knees, needing a hip surgery.

    I thought I was being silly taking so much care and putting so much thought planning my "financial" retirement but not putting one bit of effort in the machine that will let me enjoy it. That was my wake-up call.

    My eye opening experience was when I saw a picture of myself and I saw more than one chin. Yikes! It took me 2 years after than picture and being more social to get the point where I said "no more!"
