I totally know what you mean...I got a photo in the mail from a birthday party (in the thank you note) and it was a wakeup call that I needed to do something.

I completely understand. From about 3-9 months postpartum, I didn't care about my body. I got weighed at the doctor's office and saw that I was 222 lbs. It was a huge wakeup call. That coupled with my mom's encouragement to do WW, I realized how bad I had gotten. Since mid-June, I've dropped 22-23 lbs through Weight Watchers and lots of walking. It's helped me so much through the postpartum stuff. Oddly enough, doing WW has given a sense of control in something when you've got a busy toddler, marriage, and work.

Ugh, I had a similar moment this weekend - I weighed myself at my dads house. I don't know what's happened to me, but this is the heaviest I've ever been, besides pregnancy (and honestly, I'm not that far away from that number, the heaviest I've ever been in my life).

Mine was when my only jeans that fit started getting tight on me. It was a wake up that I can't keep eating whatever and not working out. I got super depressed last week trying on dresses for a wedding this weekend and nothing fit. So I had to go and buy something, money I didn't want to spend at all.
