Newbie reviving this thread.
I have never been a skinny girl.. so I have had several turning points throughout the years, so I'll just stick to the things that gave me the final nudge in the right direction.
I had an interview for my dream job and didn't get hired because of my weight. Wake up call number one.. being overweight is affecting my finances.
I had the perfect boyfriend ,or so I thought. We broke up because he said he was not ready for a relationship as serious as ours was getting. We remained friends and eventually he admitted to me that my weight was the real issue. I had gained weight because I was so comfy and secure in our relationship. He told me that he just stopped being attracted to me... It may not be fair but.. it affected my love life.. Wake up call number 2.
Wake up call number 3... I stepped on the scale and it read 300+ WHOA!!! Not cute.
Had to get state ID renewed .. took new picture and cried when I saw it..I realized that my face has no shape, it is just a chubby blob.. A very pretty blob but a shapeless one non the less.
Wake up call #4. NOBODY should cry when they see a picture of themselves.
And the final call is difficulty TTC my first baby.. My heart aches and I am so ready to be a mommy..Doc says I need to trim down and see if that will regulate my cycles before trying alternative methods to get preggo. I agree, I need to be healthier anyway. I noticed that my cycles have been crazy since I passed the 250 mark so I KNOW my weight is the #1 issue.
I would post more but I don't wanna take up the entire thread. The point is
I am ready to do this thing . This is a permanent lifestyle change and without this support system I would be lost.
