Was there a major event or did it just slowly dawn on you that now is the time to do something about it?
I had a moment about five years ago when I hit 20 stone and I realised I was the biggest person I know - and I went to LL (lost three and a half stone, then put it all back on). Then I got married, got comfortable with who I am and it never bothered me *that* much - although there was the odd occasion and there are things that are really annoying about being fat, like the lack of nice clothes and people thinking you are stupid and/or lazy.
But the catalyst for me was not being able to have a baby, and realising that I have had all the treatment I can have at my weight and I MUST do something about it or I'd never have a child. So here I am!
