When Did you Realize...

Reality finally sank in just before Thanksgiving 07'... my great grandma stated, "Girl! You sure have packed your pounds back on!" I was mortified. It was in front of my husband and family. The hubby immediately started looking at me with sympathy, which made it worse. Even though he tried to convince me everything is "ok", I realized I had to do something, now!
 
As far as I can remember, I always wanted to lose weight but never did it
But a couple of years ago, I ''saw'' myself on a picture
And saw myself again on a picture took last october... :puke:

And the fact that I look like my mother, who is very overweight
No no no
Not for me!

:toetap05:
 
It was this past December, where my clothes had started getting tighter and tighter and I hit my highest weight ever of 210 lbs. It took me hours to try to find an outfit that looked even semi-decent on my even fatter self! So, I had a "goodbye" binge of lasagna and cheesecake on my birthday (Jan 1), planned everything I was going to do on Jan 2, and on Jan 3, just like that, I began my weight loss journey.

Since then, I've lost 29 lbs and I've got 31 more to go. :)

For me it was a loooooong time ago. Every day I told myself I have to lose weight. I feel embarased all the time about my body because all my friends are fit. So everyday I said tomorrow I'll start, tomorrow ill start and so on. Till one day I went on the scale and it was at 278. I was so mad that I let mesilf get this big that I told myself today is when I start. That was June 1st and I havent looked back. This morning I weighed in at 261 so I must be doing something right. hehe.

This is one part to my experience as well.

My friends are all extremely thin, and i was, and am tired of feeling like a disgusting blob person when i am around them. I knew for a long time i didnt like what i was, no matter who else did.
 
Like others have said... it was a build up of events.

The one that sticks out in my mind the most...

One of my high school students last year told me that the back of my neck looked like a package of hot dogs. Brutal, funny and honest.

Also, being the "fat guy" and having jokes put my way all the time was getting to be old hat. My sister and brother would constantly have the fatty remarks... things are all different now.

This isn't when I realized it but Keith you made me think of it...when I was in 6th grade a bunch of my classmates made up a song about me called 'Bessie the heffier, the queen of all the cows'. I swear I will remember that to my dying day.

And yet, that wasn't enough to get me to stop eating...
 
i just shaved my head and i go those fat wrinkles on the top of my head. i joke around and say i have a map of Somalia on the top of my head.

Isn't it? I could probably put together a list, if I did you would understand my confidence issues...that one is the one I can remember with most ease.

God damn, you just made me remember 8th grade... kids would sing "All Keith wants for Christmas is his TWO Twinkie s!"
 
Today

I am serious too. I stepped on my scale and saw that I was 60 pounds heavier than I used to weight about 2-3 years ago and my gut is sticking out :(
 
When I saw the pictures from the birthday party my family had. I'll go ahead and say normally I can manipulate my poses and such to make myself look better (usually bust up shots too), but that candid picture of me sitting on the couch, I wanted to die. It was embarassing.
 
I can't ever remember a moment in my life knowing that I wasn't over weight.
However there are two pictures that sealed the deal.
One was at a baseball game we took my wifes little cousin to, and the other was a picture of my wife and I at church. My wife is this beautiful thing, with an enormous blob with his arm around her.
On Monday of this week I went to the doctor, I was prescribed phentermine, and I've completely switched my diet, cut out all the snacks, and I'm supposed to be about 1,200 calories a day, however I'm averaging about 1,025 a day. So far I've lost about 1.5 lbs (since monday that ain't bad)
I've began excercising and I may look into getting a gym membership.
I went to the doctor and weighed 356, this is a huge wake up considering that I'm 24 years old.
