Obesity Was No Laughing Matter for Comedienne Sonya D

Comedian Sonya D, recently, shared her inspiring story with That's Fit, our sister site from the AOL family. After being overweight all her life and not taking it seriously, Sony had a scary wake up call at 2 am while on tour. Nearly 80lbs later, Sonya shares her story of weight loss and triumph:

I'll never forget that night -- it was about 2:20 a.m. and guess who I saw on TV? Me! I was eating three Chalupas from Taco Bell and I had to put my food down to really look at myself. The crowd was laughing, but I wasn't -- I looked like I weighed 300 pounds. Sure, the TV adds 10 pounds, but I was so heavy I think I saw smoke coming from my thighs where they were rubbing together.

For the first time in my life, I was disgusted with myself and at that very moment, I decided I needed to do something about my weight. When I arrived back into Chicago, I went straight home and dumped everything from my refrigerator and cabinets. I made up my mind: Food is not going to kill me.
