Angie Perez

My name is Angie Perez, I’m 29 years old, and I weighed 200 pounds. After my first pregnancy, my body and eating habits were out of control and I began to gain weight. It didn’t seem to me like I was that overweight because I’d always been chubby. I was frustrated because no matter how hard I tried to lose weight doing all types of different diets, they didn’t help me lose it and I ended up gaining even more. People I knew referred to me as the sweet, chubby girl and that made me feel depressed. I felt bad, and I wore black clothing all the time. I wouldn’t dare to wear a skirt or a dress because I hated how people looked at me. After my second pregnancy, since I was breastfeeding, I felt like I needed to eat more so the baby would be healthy. I am a Lactation Consultant and I always thought I would be able to diet while breastfeeding. By following Alejandro Chaban’s wonderful Traffic Light Diet, I went from a size 16 to a size 8.
