I had NO energy, no  confidence and an extremely negative self-image. I was disgusted by looking at  pictures of myself. And I used food and alcohol to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153medicate\u00e2\u20ac\u009d my emotions.<\/p>\n<p>I was not the mother, wife, sister or friend that I wanted to be. But I  didn&#8217;t know how to change. One of my friends started a fitness group on Facebook  and I \u00e2\u20ac\u0153lurked\u00e2\u20ac\u009d there all the time, thinking that there was no way I could ever  do that. No way that I could ever make that lifestyle change&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Then, in  February when my best friend had major complications giving birth to her son, I  had a complete breakdown. Years of pent-up stuff hit me, and I totally lost it.  The next day I saw a post on Facebook from my dear friend and she had one spot  in her 90 Day Challenge Group class\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6and I HAD TO HAVE IT!<\/p>\n<p>My friend,  Shelly who is a Beachbody Coach, saved me. She pushed me when I needed  pushing and was a friend when I needed a friend. She never gave up and neither  did I. She started me on <a title=\"ChaLEAN Extreme Challenge Pack\" href=\"http:\/\/teambeachbody.com\/shop\/-\/shopping\/BCPCL180?referringRepId=1393\" target=\"_blank\">ChaLEAN Extreme and Shakeology<\/a> and I have never looked  back.<\/p>\n<p>At my 90-day weigh-in, I had lost 26 pounds, 29.5 inches overall,  and dropped 3 pants sizes. I stopped using alcohol and food to cope with life&#8217;s  stresses. I am now a better parent, a better role model, and a better person. My  hair, skin, and nails have never been healthier, my mind has never been clearer,  and my future has never been so bright. As a Beachbody Coach, I am helping women  who face the same problems I overcame.<\/p>\n<p>I finally feel like I have found  why I am here on this earth! I have a divine purpose in life, coaching and  guiding others through their journey. I seem to be attracting positivity  everywhere I go. Man, it feels GOOD!<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can change your life, too.
