I had a great childhood. I was always very happy and surrounded by my loving family and friends. At my house, everything we ate was very unhealthy and my parents never encouraged me to exercise. When I was 19, I was overweight by 20 pounds. At this point in my life, it was very hard to deal with all the changes that came with adolescence. It was really frustrating that I couldn’t go shopping with my friends because I had to limit myself to buy plus-size clothes. I didn’t feel pretty or attractive. It was also very hard to deal with bullies who obviously didn’t cared about my feelings. My self-esteem was shattered, and every time I looked at myself in the mirror, I hated what I saw. It took me twice as long to get things done. I could never run, jog or even walk long distances. My least favorite time of the week was Physical Education class; it was frustrating and embarrassing. I was really sad and felt hopeless about solving my problems until I found Alejandro Chaban through Facebook. I saw how Alejandro helped transform the lives of many people, so I decided to be one of them. I wanted to be healthier and more confident. I read all his tips and suggestions, followed the Traffic Light Diet, took the supplements and even started an exercise routine. In only a few months, I was able to lose 20 pounds. The best part was that I did it without stop eating myself or putting my health at risk. I really learned how to take care of myself and feed my body correctly. My life has really changed and I’m now the person I’d always wanted to be. I’m full of energy and I feel like I can conquer the world! I owe it all to Alejandro Chaban and Yes You Can!.
