Juliana Fernandez

My name is Juliana Fernandez and I’m 39 years old, from Colombia. I’m married and a proud mother. I’ve been working as the manager at a Mexican restaurant for the past 11 years. I was thin when I first started working there, but then I started gaining weight, little by little with no concern. I felt hungry all day, so I wouldn’t stop eating tacos, burritos, chips and salsa at work. That is how the days went by until I realized I weighed 171 pounds and was a size 16. I felt frustrated because I’d failed every diet I started, I didn’t like them. I also didn’t have time to exercise. How was I supposed to lose weight? I would get sad, seeing all my friends share pictures of themselves on social media, looking beautiful, while I, ashamed of my body, would not share any. Fortunately, one of my coworkers switched shifts with me and I had the opportunity of seeing the success stories with Alejandro Chaban. Today, I could not be happier because I was able to lose weight by eating healthy Latin food. I still work at the same restaurant, but thanks to the Yes You Can!, I learned what, how and when to eat and my Complete Whey Protein shakes satisfy me, so I avoid temptations at the restaurant. I lost 40 pounds and now I’m size Small! I feel beautiful, healthy and happy to set an example for many Latinos who work in the food industry. I say to all of them Yes You Can!.
