Sasha Cintas
My name is Sasha Cintas I'm Honduran and I live in Miami. Since I was a kid I saw obesity in my family so being a chubby little girl was normal. I got used to eating rice and beans from my mother's tummy and I grew up until I got
up to 205 pounds. For my first day of high school I was scared to death. There were many older boys and I thought everyone was going to make fun of me because for being overweight. My best disguise was a 2X coat that I wore
throughout the school year to hide my weight. Being in school was very hard, it was a school of athletes where everyone had a good body and played sports, while Sasha the chubby girl could not. I did not have a boyfriend; I could
not wear small clothes like many girls my age. I wanted to change. Even when they called me chubby girl, I always answered "some day you will see my transformation". I met Yes You Can! I saw the
transformation of someone
closely and decided that if she could do it, I could too. As of today, I have lost 70 pounds, I wear medium size clothing, which I wasn't able ever in my life. I feel happy, free and I want to be the example to my
generation...Yes
You Can!
