Rosie Rivera

I'm Rosie Rivera, and many people know me and my family as the “Rivera Dynasty.” When I was eight, I suffered one of the toughest, most unpleasant and traumatic experiences that any human being can have: I was sexually abused. At that age, you don't know what to do. I started to hide my pain with food, and, by the time I was 13 years old, I was overweight. I preferred to eat because at least that made me happy and I forgot about the pain. When I turned 16, I started to realize how important it is to look good and skinny. I tried everything and nothing worked. During my first pregnancy, I gained 60 pounds. I tried every diet I was told of, liposuction, and even gastric bypass. Unfortunately, something I never changed were my eating habits, so everything was useless because I was not addressing my issues. One day, I was co-hosting “Despierta America,” and I was with Alejandro Chaban during his segment. While I listened to him, I thought that this could work for me. At that precise moment, I had been suffering from low self-esteem because I was on TV and I wasn’t happy with my body. I took the chance and started using the Transform Kit. In a few months, I reached my goal of losing 20 pounds and recovered my self-esteem. It changed my body, my way of thinking, and my lifestyle and it has improved my relationship. I encouraged my husband to also start Yes You Can! and we relied on each other during the process. Having his support was amazing because he encouraged me to eat right and be more active. I am a total Food Lover and I can still eat what I like, but incorporating healthy eating habits. Incredibly, this is a plan in which I eat more times a day, so I don’t feel hungry and have no yo-yo effect! The day I met Alejandro Chaban was a miracle and today I am a weight loss Success Story!
