Mine was not getting a job that I was qualified for because I was overweight.

Mine was when my local doctors wouldn’t operate on me to clean sepsis out of my abdomen because our hospital isn’t equipped for someone my weight. (385). I was shipped to another hospital almost 4 hours away. Made it hard for my mom and my teenager to get there to see me, while I was almost dead from sepsis.

I had a family reunion coming up and couldn't stand the idea of skinny aunts silently tsk-tsking at my weight.

I saw pictures of myself that my sister-in-law took while we were on vacation and literally couldn't believe how fat I was. I realized then and there that this isn't who I want to be any longer and decided it was time for a change once and for all.

My wake up call moment was when we went to Disney World and I almost wasn’t able to participate in something due to my weight. I was 25 pounds short of having to sit it out. It took another year before my best friend had WLS and I realized I may be able to take that route, too.

My wake up call was last year they said i was pre-diabetic. It scared me to death. I joined a gym and worked out 5 days a week changed my diet and only 30lbs down just couldn't mob scale weight started trickling back the exercising was exhausting more and more to lose the weight. Then, i went to family event and heard my cousins say she has a pretty face if she would just lose the weight she would be so much prettier. All the work of 6 months, these statement destroyed my resolve. Tired of being the heavy cousin.

I was twisting my body up in weird ways just to get up and down the stairs in our house. When I had to approach stairs, I'd have to psyche myself up to use them. Getting into and out of chairs was becoming hard. I have bad knees, and the extra hundred pounds was making them fail even faster. One day I realized I was heavy enough and met the co-morbidity requirement for weight loss surgery and that was the day I made up my mind. I had a good run, eating whatever and as much as I felt like for 46 years; it was time to get it under control and give myself the best chance of being alive to see my son to adulthood.

Thanks everyone for replying your comment's mean the world to me we are not alone anymore
