What motivated me to start losing weight

When I hit rock bottom is when I started having thoughts that my family would be better off without me. It was then that I knew I needed help and fast! I was intentionally binge eating and killing myself with my fork so I decide to begin now and fast so I joined a challenge group hosted on Facebook with 21 day fix and shakeology from Beachbody. I knew I needed the accountability, I also knew that getting to a gym was pretty much out of the question with our budget and work schedules so at home workouts were what I felt I needed. It literally gave me everything I needed to be successful and I fell in love so I start cardio to lose weight. And that help My first week of losing weight journey following the 21 day fix workouts and nutrition plan I lost 4 lbs and 11 inches! I felt better than I had in a really long time and it was enough for me to keep going. The hardest parts it was that I really worried about overcoming my food addiction. I was extremely addicted to sugar and soda and I knew I needed to give them up. It was such a mental addiction that I struggled big time! I also hadn’t worked out in over 10 years. Physically it was extremely hard and for me and I didn’t love it at all! My mindset was one of the hardest things to overcome. It’s still a struggle even a year later but I’ve learned I need to train my brain just as much as I train my body and it’s helped a ton. About 6 months into my journey I hit a major WeightLoss plateau the holidays came and eating got harder too. It was extremely trusting to feel stuck for so long. The absolute only reason I haven’t given up was because after a month into my journey I decided to become a Beachbody coach to help keep me accountable. Having that community and support was exactly was I needed to keep going.
