Edna's life had reached a critical juncture. Despite being happily married and a mother of five, the weight she carried had become an unbearable burden. Working in her son's car sales business, she was weighed down by both physical and emotional struggles. The toll of carrying excess weight left her exhausted, making even the simplest tasks like climbing stairs a challenge. Insomnia, colitis, poor circulation, and persistent headaches further plagued her.

The Heartache of Being Defined by Weight

One of the hardest parts of Edna's journey was enduring hurtful comments about her weight. The term "La gorda" (the overweight one) cut deep, but it also became the fuel for her determination to change. The tipping point came during a visit to a clothing store where she worked previously, where she was told she could never wear a mermaid-cut dress, a style she admired.

Frustrated with previous failed attempts at dieting, Edna was introduced to Yes You Can! by a close friend. From the start, she found this program to be different. It wasn't just about the weight loss; it was about embracing a lifestyle that resonated with her.

Fast forward to today, and Edna is a beacon of self-assuredness. She not only fits into the mermaid-cut dress she once longed for but revels in trying on various outfits, becoming the star of every event she attends. As her wedding anniversary approaches, she's spoiled for choice, not only with dresses but with a renewed zest for life.
