Yomila Cardona

My name is Yomila Cardona, I am Guatemalan, and I live in New York. For many years I had been skinny, but after having my only daughter, I gained weight. To try to recover my body, I created my own diet: I ate all day but skipped dinner. That didn’t work. I lost control; I was overweight and was at 185 pounds. To not torture myself, I decided to dress only in leggings, jeans, and elastic pants for my embarrassing and huge thighs and belly. One day, I had an event and there was no dress that would fit me because I was already a 1X size. Not only did I looked poorly, but I felt like an old woman going up the stairs because I could not resist the pain I felt. I really wanted to get out of this body that didn’t belong to me, that’s when I began Yes You Can!. Thanks to the inspiration that Alejandro Chabán gave me every day, I lost 65 pounds! I learned to have a happy and healthy life. I am so excited to be able to wear a sexy dress thanks to Yes You Can!.
