Great Question
God there are so many reasons. I use to be really slim but year after year my weight just kept creeping up, in some ways I had reverse anorexia - I would look in the mirror and think I looked ok when in fact I clearly didn't.
:cry:
About three years ago I gave up smoking and passed my driving test which was a lethal combination and since then my weight has rocketed. I couldn't deny how awful I looked in photo's and my dress size was huge for my height. As I've mentioned before on a thread - I can't fit in normal boots anymore and I'll be damned if I'm buying special boots for fat legs!!!
It also occurred to me that as some stage there are going to be health issues at being larger as well and its time to get myself in order.
I want to have a social life again and I'm fed up of being the fat friend. I know when I see friends that I haven't seen in a while that they look at me and think "hasn't she let herself go".
Its all going to change thanks to SW. Hopefully friends will start to notice the difference soon.

Never finding anything nice to wear, the constant feeling down mood. I had enough of been lazy, and getting out of breath for minimum effort, my self steam is always down. Never liked my pictures taking, I don’t like big mirrors.
Tried too many crash diets and end up bigger that I ever was, decided I need life changing plan.

Mine was because I didnt want to be a fat bride! I started slimming world in February and by July I'd lost almost 3 and a half stone, but having split up with my then fiance at the end of March and no big white dress to diet into I let my birthday in July and all that cake get the better of me!
I rejoined sw online yesterday and although I havent put any of the weight I lost back on in my few months off I didnt want to put all that weight back on because I worked so hard to get it off in the first place. Plus christmas is round the corner and I figure I can drop another stone by then and buy myself a lovely dress to wear to my office party in a size smaller than I am now!
