From my early days I've been very fond of eating and always wanted to eat the tastiest meals, not caring for nutritional values. My every attempt to reduce weight have only put more fat onto my body.
One day, on my brothers wedding, the whole family got together and wanted me to dance, since I'd been a very good dancer when I wasn't fat, and almost everyone in my family knew that.
On the wedding day I wasn't able to take even a single step -- which made me put down my head in front of all my relatives. On that day I've decided to lose weight.
Today when I look at myself in the mirror I just proudly say: WOW!!!

My most embarrassing moment when I was overweight (I still am but this was at my heaviest) was when my boyfriend and I went to Alton Towers. I had been there before and it was all fine, but after coming back from an All Inclusive holiday I was feeling a bit heavier than normal.
So we went to go on Oblivion which is a ride that tips you at a 90 degree angle and then drops you down a black hole - their best ride!
Well, after queuing for an hour or so we got to the front and were told we would have to go on separately as we would both need the "fat seat" and they only have one. This was so embarrassing that I quickly lost the weight from my holiday and I am hoping to go back to Alton Towers this summer to try again....
