Hey everyone!! I just wanted to see from everyones experience when was their "enough moment"?

Mine was when when I reached 289 I was like wowwww this cant be me?!?! It was like I knew my clothes sizes where getting bigger but I didn't want to except it. You know? Has your S/O ever answered this question like this "Honey I shouldn't have dried that shirt it shrunk" he says "maybe its not the shirt maybe you have gotten bigger" Damn when he said that I was like thats it for me something has to change. So I decided enough is enough and I need more help!!! Looking forward to hearing everyone else's too.

Seeing 312 lbs on my home scale was it for me. The number depressed me, I was over 300 lbs and really knew then why I was tired all the time. I hated to wear socks or shoes with laces...because I couldn't bend over to put them on so I would wear flats all the time, easy on, easy off. I'm now 104 lbs down and so very grateful that I had the surgery. Much success to you on your journey down!

Congrats 'Gonnabeslim1day'! You will be well on your way!

OMG!!! I'm so EXCITED got my APPROVAL today!!!! So happy right now so glad I made it through this. I feel the 6 month weight diet program was the hardest but so glad I have been able to vent about my weight thanks!!

Wooooo hoooooo!!!!! This is it!!! Time for your new life. Congrats!!!

Getting to the point of not wanting to go place and do things....275 pounds. I am tired all the time, in pain all the time, dread going out because I am tired. Scared of doing things because of my weight. Also having that problem with difficulty wiping myself (so horribly embarrassing). I just can't take it anymore! Scheduled for surgery 10/12/12 haven't gotten my approval yet but only have my presurgery appointment left.

Wooooo hoooooo!!!!! This is it!!! Time for your new life. Congrats!!!

Thanks!!!!

I was also a slim girl and now I'm at 280 and really depressed. I don't know how too dress. I hate going around people. I even hate eating in front of people. My daughter is two and I don't even have that many pictures with her because I don't want to look at my body. My husband asked for sex every two weeks sometimes longer. He never says I'm fat but actions speaks louder than words .I have my sleeve on the 21 st. I hope nothing doesn't get on the way bc I will be extremely depressed.

When I realized I'm close to 30, and my grandma passed away at 62. I had the scary thought that if I continued the way I was, my life was almost half done.

(I am very similar to her in the genetics department)

I've always be ashamed of myself from since i can remember. . . always trying diets, pills, etc anything to lose weight. I hated myself for ever and never was happy. But i went on like this for years and years until finally 3 years ago 47 years old I could afford to get this done and i did. . . now i've lost 150 lbs, have tons of self confidence, enjoy life and finally finally love myself for the person who i am. . . I got to my doctors goal for me, but not my own personal one, but I'm definately not a failure . . .I AM PURE SUCCESS!

I hit 315lbs when I was pregnant and had ridiculous complications..was put on bed rest for a month ..had hypertension very high blood pressure had to get. Blood transfusion had fluidnin my lungs and even heart failure..ive always been over weight but that was definitely a scary time in my life and my turning point

Love your confidence you can also see it in your message :) I don't know why I let this go on for so long. I am really happy I even thought about WLS just wished it would have been sooner. I seen myself today in the mirror and I swear my shoulders looked like a line backer!!!! lol

357, i got on the scale and said that was it. I have 2 kids and that weight wasnt going to keep me around. So i did what i had always done i went on a diet and finished up my reqs for weight loss surgery. Things is i have always been able to lose weight when i hit it hard, and was able to drop 60 lbs. Then everyone was saying you dont need the surgery keep doing what you are doing. They dont get it. It is not the losing it is the keeping it off, and i beleive this is the best tool i have to date to do that.

I even have a friend who had RNY telling me this! (He has also not met his goals, and has stopped going in for followups.)

For me it was when years and years of trying and trying I was in a loop where all I did was beat myself up over being fat and people started making jokes about how much I ate etc, that really shocked me. Also not being able to fit into my own mothers clothes that she was giving away to me, which were really nice!, true... and too that I couldnt enjoy anything with out being self conscious about my weight... lots of things but mostly the decade of trying to try was enough for me.
