From 320lb Binge Eater To 150lb Cancer Survivor - In 17 Months | BRAND NEW ME

AT 320lbs, Jessica Beniquez from Spring Hill, Florida, started her weight loss journey in 2016. Growing up, Jessica was always overweight and it was not until after graduation she finally put her foot down. Jessica told Truly: “I was just sitting in bed watching Netflix and I would binge watch for a good two months. After that, I was like I am done with this." Jessica was stuck in a dangerous routine of watching four to five hours of TV and eating which was causing her weight to increase. She wanted to feel and look better and decided to make the journey to a brand new self. Jessica said: “I was just lazy. I just didn’t want to do anything or talk to anybody. I was drawn into the show and just didn’t want to get off the couch." As well as binge watching TV, Jessica would fry a lot of her food in oil. “I would cook deep fried foods like corn dogs, French fries, chicken strips, chicken nuggets, mozzarella sticks. All of it. I would fry it. It's crazy like thinking back on my old eating habits because now, forget it. So gross." Jessica’s weight loss journey has inspired her to become a personal trainer after living through the experience, she knows what works. Jessica told Truly: “I never thought that I would be a personal trainer, that would never even cross my mind. I never even expected loving working out or eating clean. If you knew me four years ago, forget it. I was not the one to seek any advice about weight loss, about food, exercises - I was clueless."
