    When I had to go buy a new dress belt because my old one broke. Going from a 42 inch belt to a 46 inch belt was kind of a slap in the face..................

    Now I have to cinch the new one all the way in. Woo-hoo!!!!

    When we got back from Vegas and we were looking at all the pics from my wedding (the reason we were there) and other times throughout life. My brother, a few girlfriends and I all noticed that I was almost 1 1/2 times the size of myself at my wedding (189lbs) than I was at my 8year olds 1year birthday party (135lbs). :embarassed:

    When my 3 year old daughter told me I was walking like grandma -- my mom who can barely walk b/c of her size.

    For me it was a lot of things, but I remember one day my husband was talking about his friend's wife and said something to the effect of, she really let herself go and stopped taking care of herself... and I thought.... well hello, so did I. That day and the need to feel more in control of myself and my life really helped guide me in the direction of leading a healthier life.

    I knew for years I was overweight but never actively did anything about it until I went to the doctor because my mom was worried I might have type 2 diabetes. My fasting glucose level was completely normal but my doctor asked me about my eating habits and told me that I needed to start eating healthier. I think she basically told me to eat salad, exercise, and never eat taco bell again (I haven't touched anything from there in at least a year:happy: ). I also hated pictures of me with my stepsister. I looked so short and huge compared to her. And then I started having trouble shopping for tops in my favorite store. It took me several months afterwards to find my fitness pal and for progress to actually be made.
