Beatriz Escobedo

Being a mother of 3 made her forget about herself

My name is Beatriz Escobedo I am Peruvian, I am 34 years old and I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I was always chunky but after having 3 boys and being very busy I started to gain weight. For some reason the numbers on the scale didn’t stop and my weight got higher and higher each day. I got very scared and imagined myself getting fatter and fatter every day. I told myself I needed a quick fix and I started "MY OWN DIET", which was: IF I DONT EAT, I WONT GAIN WEIGHT! I felt weak, tired, my hair fell out and instead of losing weight, my cheeks and my belly got soft and I looked all of my 145 pounds. When we would take family pictures, I would run to hide behind someone to cover me, I did not want to see myself. Not eating was not working for me. On the internet, I saw that Yes You Can! was the No. 1 diet for Latinos. I could not believe they were telling me to eat to lose weight, so I decided to give it a try. I was very SURPRISED! Eating 5 times a day was helping me lose weight, look beautiful and feel energetic. Today I'm 35 pounds lighter, I have a healthy lifestyle and I feel happy that my husband and my children are protective of me, because I get a lot of attention when I wear small size dresses.
