Has a serious medical diagnosis kick-started your weight loss?

I’m a 42yo female, 197 lbs/5’7” (BMI is borderline ‘obese’). Like many I’ve started healthy habits to lose weight many times before but it typically lasts a few weeks before I lose focus. However - last week I received a serious medical diagnosis of breast cancer. Being overweight increases one’s risk factor for breast cancer and being at a healthy weight would certainly bring a better prognosis for future health. Not knowing yet what treatment road lays ahead or how my health will be affected, I can’t ignore this as a MAJOR wake-up call to get to and maintain a healthy weight. Curious, have others been in this boat with a similarly-serious medical diagnosis? How has that affected your weight loss?
