At the beginning of this year, I made a commitment to lose weight that I've gained over the past couple of years. Since starting (and finishing!) the 21-Day Fix from Beachbody, I've been able to not only shed some pounds, but shed some bad habits as well. My anxiety stems from emytophobia and agoraphobia.
