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.
