What was your "AHA' moment

    So motivation.. it helps to remember WHY we started this. What was that moment, that point in time when you decided wow...I really need to do something about me. 

     

    For me, I remember it was before my first was born, I was sitting in bed and on my lap a HUGE plate of nachos (made from Doritos no less) had my salsa and pepsi too.  We were watching off all things... The Biggest Loser, and I said "Boy, I wish I could do that", and the hubby looked at me and said, "So..why dont you?"

    Stupidest thing, but there ya have it. I had no answer.  Why couldnt I? So I did.  Joined a gym, and started losing. That was almost 7yrs ago. I have had many bumps along the way (kids) but Ive never since then given up.  At my heaviest I was 240lb... I had at one time made it down to 180.. then divorce hit.. wow.. sitting back around the 200s, something I swore I would never do again.

    So I write this to stay accountable, and remember why I started in the first place.

    There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other. Which one are you?
