That's not how it happened at all! In fact, my story is quite the opposite. My story is a little less glamorous but very real.
I will start at the beginning. My family had just moved to a new state, I didn't really have any friends, I had a preschooler (who was no longer in preschool because all the schools were full when we moved) and a baby. My husband was on a long business trip and he was only able to visit us on some weekends over a couple months. I was literally, single handedly, getting my family settled and adjusted to a new house, new city, and new people. Oh, and I am painfully shy. SO, that didn't help much.
I was feeling very stressed, tired and lonely. It was exhausting. I am an emotional eater. I had lost some of the baby weight prior to our move, but after only a couple months I had gained it all back and more. I thought we were eating healthy, because we were eating homemade. Cooking delicious comfort foods became some I did daily. And it showed. I made my stressed, tired, lonely self, even worse off because I gained so much weight and my already low self esteem took another blow.
I was cranky, sad, and just all around unhappy with myself. This affected everything! I had less patience with my kids, I was picking fights with my husband and I was so unhappy with myself.
Everything felt out of control and I was desperate to get it back. I decided I would start by losing the weight. I knew someone that is Beachbody Coach and she kept posting on Facebook about 21 Day Fix. It sounded like just what I needed. I also learned that coaches get a discount, and well, I'm cheap, so I signed up to coach, got my 21 Day Fix Challenge Pack and I was ready to start fresh! (See, I told you it was glamorous ;) I knew this would be really hard, to make all these changes to my eating and habits, so I decided to tell people I became a Beachbody Coach. In addition to the accountability of my coach, and Challenge Group, I started telling everyone I know that I became a Beachbody Coach! I found a friend to do it with me and we were off to conquer our goals!
This is how I started. I had no intentions of building a business or helping anyone but me, BUT after those 21 days something changed. I got my life back, I started losing weight, I felt in control of my choices. I was HAPPY! Hidden beneath all the shyness and loneliness and weight, was the girl I used to be. The happy-go-lucky, goody-two-shoes, positive thinking to a fault --> girl that I was before. I got my smile back. :)
I was so happy with my results and my confidence boost, that I decided I needed to share this opportunity with everyone because even if I only helped one other person, it would be worth it! Becoming a Beachbody Coach has been one of best decisions I have made in my life. I couldn't be happier!
