My breaking point! And yours?

My breaking point was when I was looking for fun things to do with my son during this upcoming summer, and as a child I loved riding horses so I wanted my son and I to take riding lessons, but when I called around they all had Weight limits. A place actually told me to consider the horse. I wanted to cry, but instead I am using that as my fuel to get healthy :angry: (not skinny but healthy) . I also would love to learn how to surf. :D

Mine was an airplane. I was at the luggage carousel and overheard the guy who sat next to me complaining to his friend about the fat lady he had to sit by (me) who crowded him into the window during the flight.

I'm so sorry this happened to you.

My biggest breaking points where how uncomfortable I was, how I looked when I looked in the mirror, and the fact I was wearing a size 28 pants. I just couldn't do it any longer...

Airplane seats!

Amen... and having to ask for a chair with no arms in the dining room on a cruise ship!! Sure is fun standing there while the stewards are rearranging the table. NEVER, EVER again.

In fact, we cancelled an 11 day European cruise because of this. If I had the surgery a few months earlier we might have gone and been able to enjoy ourselves. Looking forward to doing it next year.

My breaking point was when several of my Kindergarteners asked me if I was pregnant. :(

Mine was when I was walking down the road and 3 young boys in a car shouted at me.. * oi fatty, I got a cream cake in here for you *.

That upset me loads.. And also I felt like my boyfriend was going off of me !! I've just been banded today.. Can't wait to stick my fingers up to everybody who ever called me fat or took the mick out of me, xxxx

Wow. What Shitty kids.

I hope they grow up and weigh 400 pounds. Karma.

Indeed, I sure hope they can evolve into being decent human beings, after gaining some maturity. I wouldn't wish what most of us have had to suffer, in private or through public humiliation, on another living being... but sometimes Karma is a well deserved b***h.

Higher dose of thyroid meds that gave me heart palpations. Not even 40 and I felt OLD.

airplane seats for sure, and taking my toddler nephew on a carousel with little cars on it - and they wouldn't let him ride without me also sitting in the car. i didn't fit and everyone around the ride watched me struggle to get back out of this teensy car and move my nephew to a different vehicle with him crying loudly that he wanted the one we were in originally.
