Today is my 1 year anniversary of my "deciding moment" or "when I hit rock bottom" .

One year ago today I had to go to a wedding. I went out and bought a new outfit, told(lied) myself that I looked good before I went, and had a pretty good time..........that is until the next day when I downloaded the pics. OMG!!!!! I was devasteded, mortified, depressed, shocked, sick and KNEW THAT MOMENT enough was enough. I had already done some research on Dr. C. but wasnt convinced "I" needed the lapband, until that very moment. I booked my consult right away and the rest is history. I thought I would share that "Holy Crap" moment today, and would love to here others 'deciding moment', too.

If you look at the picture on the right you can see my big gut hanging out, Ugh!!

Okay Mandi, your right it's kinda depressing. So I added two new pics. There not my favourite(crappy outfit, bad make-up)but I touched them up a bit. I don't want this thread to be MY before and afters though. I want to hear (and see hopefully) everyones deciding moments!!!

My deciding moment was realizing not only was I over 200 pounds but was 237! I literally shredded pics I saw of myself. I was tired of being tired all the time.
