What was your moment???

What was the moment that you decided enough is enough, I am going to do something about my weight/health????

Re: What was your moment???

It might sound silly but my moment to decide on losing weight was when I would see the look on my niece's face when people said she looked just like me. My sister ins very tiny as is my niece but she really does look like me and I think when people would say it she would get upset because she thought she was big or something. I actually didn't diet or anything just started running and I did lose weight and once people would say that they saw I was losing it my niece didn't mind people saying it anymore. I might be crazy but hey because of that I feel better about myself now so I'll take it.

5 years ago I went for a routine annual exam at the gyn, and they did a urine test. They found sugar in my urine and thought it may be diabetes. So they drew blood and I had to wait for the results. I was 5"2, almost 180 lbs, and I was so scared. It turned out perfectly fine by the blood results, but I never wanted that fear again. I lost 40 lbs and kept it off to this day. I still have about 20 more I want to lose, but now I feel healthy and good and I know I never go back there.

For me it was when I realized that all of my clothing was getting tight and also that I would be out of breath every time I went up and down the stairs in my house.

April 26, 2009:

My sister's MIL grabbed my belly in front of my entire family and said: "Looks like someone is enjoying way too much of their mother's cooking."

I had gained 20 pounds since my wedding but that was THE moment where I knew I had to do something about it and I lost 11 pounds since then!

Re: What was your moment???

when my anxiety got to the point where it pretty much ruled my life. i spent so long in unhealthy habits, living on coffee and pizza and the most movement i got was walking from the parking lot to my office. and the stress at work was almost killing me. i decided to put my mental and physical health first and signed up to get certified in yoga instuction. and when i started to see changes in my mindset and anxiety i increased my cardio and now i'm in the best shape of my life and dedicated to just getting better. the change that nutrition, exercise and yoga has had is something i'm so grateful for in my life.
