What was it?
I saw this question posted on the main board. The responses were very interesting!
What was it that finally made you decide to have wls?
For me it was when my sweet 6 year old son told me that the other kids in his class were making fun of him for having a fat mom. Of course, he defended me and I was devistated that I had put him in that position. The idea that my weight was affecting my childs social life was the final straw.
Other factors were:
-Not being able fasten the seat belt in my moms car.
-Being afraid the airlines would charge me for two seats.
-Paying a fortune for clothes that I never wanted to own.
-Crying in all dressing rooms.
-Being terrified to walk in front of a group of men.
-Being embarrassed at the grocery store check-out line.
-Physical pain in my joints and feet.
-Avoid friends from my past.-I missed my 10 year reunion.
Oh the list goes on and on!!
So tell me what did it for you. I'm very curious about your motivation.
Love to all,

Good questions. I would say that I have two big reasons. The number one reason was that I was not able to play with my 5 year old nephew. When we went to play, I would be able to do something for about 5-10 minutes and then would be too tired to continue. I hated it. Secondly, I am a Physical Education/Health teacher. I was having a hard time teaching this class when I was not living the life myself. I love my job and needed to have fun doing it again and feel good about myself while doing it. These two things really made me make the final decision. I can tell you all that this is the best, yet hardest, life decision I have made.
