Unfortunately, my bottom is not as hard as a rock, but I think it would be interesting to see posts from other folks about what was the straw that broke the camel's back and provided the determination to lose weight either with low carbing or on diets used in the past. Here's one of my rock bottoms.

When I was about 19 my mother and father had recently divorced and my mother wanted to get back into circulation. She wanted me to go out with her one night. I had told her I would, but when it came time to get ready, I couldn't fit into any of my going out clothes. For that matter, I couldn't fit into any of hers, either. My mother was all ready to go and looked absolutely beautiful and I felt like I looked like a big blob of ugly fat so I refused to go. I didn't tell my mother the real reason I decided not to go out with her. She thought I was ashamed to be seen with her but it was me I was ashamed to be seen with. I started a diet at that moment and lost about 35 pounds, that time.
