My self-esteem would get lower with every pound I gained, until it disappeared completely. Being overweight caused me to stop loving myself and not worry about my appearance or my health. This made people reject me and not even take the time to make fun of me; I felt invisible. Like most Mexicans, food is a very important part of our lives, but even that didn’t make me happy anymore. My friends wouldn't even take me to parties with them or to meet girls. I lacked so much confidence that they’d say I scared them away. The moment I decided that enough was enough was when I asked a girl how old she thought I was; she responded by saying I looked over 30. I was 19. This forced me to take action and change my life. I wanted an effective way to make this change and found the perfect formula in Yes You Can!. I was able to enjoy food once again and lose weight. I fell in love with my favorite Mexican dishes all over again, and my self esteem is now through the roof. Thanks to the Yes You Can! Products, I not only lost 40 pounds, but now I’m the life of the party. Girls want to actually be around me and my friends fight over who gets to be my wingman. Today, I’m in the process of achieving my dream to become a reporter, thanks to my positive attitude adjustment and because of how I present myself to others.
