Well, after much pondering, here are my reasons (starting LL this Weds hurrah)
1) When fastening my work trousers which have a side zip became a struggle - I mean come on, fastening pants shouldn't make you gasp for air should it?!
2) When painting/cutting toenails became difficult....difficult to the point I thought my lungs were bleeding!
3) When the wire in my bra began poking my flob under my arms - I will not wear non wired lol.
4) When getting up from sitting on the floor became something akin to a three point turn when driving!
5) When NOTHING and I mean NOTHING in my wardrobe was flattering....
6) After being described by a customer at work as, 'You know, that fat lass with the pretty eyes' G*MP!
7) When it became impossible to stand on one leg without the serious risk that any nearby, small children would get injured. (I have two kids!)
8) When a casual glance in a shop window of my reflection brought me to tears.
9) When I stopped socialising as I couldn't bear the thought of being talked about......'Hasn't she got big??' etc etc
10) When I had avoided getting my haircut for over 6 months (I'm v vain in this dept lol) for the same reason as above.
11) Seeing OBESE in flashing red capital letters appear on the screen when my GP worked out my BMI - amazing what seeing it in black and white does, well this case red lol.
12) When I looked back and realised that the person my husband had fallen in love with had all but disappeared under a mountain of crisp induced blub and realising that HE deserved better, and so did I and so did my two children.
13) When the back ache from bending over and cleaning the bath got sooo bad I would try to avoid doing it! eurgh....
We all have different amounts to lose, some more than others and vice versa, BUT we have all been affected enough by our weight to have to do something like this. We have all cried, we have all hurt, we have all day-dreamed about being slimmer, we have all got REALLY angry when trying to buy clothes, we have all felt ashamed of ourselves, but that aside, what REALLY matters is that we are doing something amazingly positive, that has such peace enducing, soul enhancing results.... May we all succeed on our journey and hold each others hands whilst we do it!
!] I have my fingers crossed for you that the weightloss will kick in the fertility. Maybe once you've shown the doc how serious you are and lost weight he may have a change of heart? Let's hope so.
