What Was Your Final "straw That Broke The Camels Back"

  • Popular Post

What was the final thing that you encountered that made you say this is enough? I have had numerous.

1. Leaving a wife and 2 sons, Husbandless and fatherless.

2. Not being able to get on amusement park rides with my sons.

3. Not being able to take my wife to a concert, because i could not fit in a seat.

4. Avoiding restuarant,movie theaters and sports complexes with tiny seats.

For me, walking through a a department store and some little child looking at me like im a alien had to be one the hardest things.

Respectfully,

Joe

My two oldest daughters (6 & 5) asking my best friend if she was sick. She is about 125 pounds soaking wet. She said "no, why?". My oldest said "your so skinny". Then my middle daughter says " we don't want to be skinny like you, we want to be like Mommy". My heart crumbled. I have 3 daughters that look up to me and I need to be someone that they can look up to.

I have a 20 month old daughter that I can't chase on the playground. I can't fit in theatre seats or concert seats. Booths at restaurants got tighter and clothes got smaller. I realized this was simply not ok. Surgery was Dec 4.

How are things going for you now?

I was sitting listening to my friend go on and on about my skills with horses. I was giving ridding lessons by the time I was in JR. High. I would get on a horse now because I feel it's cruel over a certain size. The one that broke the camels back is my ex posted a pic of me on Facebook. And 100 comments later of OMG you were so beautiful. And I didn't even know that was you. Broke my heart. Not gonna lie.

I stopped posting most pics of myself on FB because of that. There are a few, but not many.

I've lost 40 lbs. Better but not where I need to be, started at 334 so it's still a ways to go. Hopeful that by summer I'll be unstoppable!!!!
