At the tender age of 17, Jessica found herself facing the unexpected responsibility of motherhood. She became a mother at 18 and simultaneously tied the knot. The sudden shift in her life brought about anxiety and stress. Coping with these emotions, she turned to food, particularly sweets and late-night snacks, as a way to soothe her nerves.

Battling the Midnight Cravings

Nighttime became the favorite time for Jessica to indulge in her cravings. Sweets, especially candies, became her companions. Her diet included heavy servings of carbohydrates, in line with Central American traditions - lots of tortillas, beans, rice, and cream. The weight began to pile up, and it wasn't long before her clothes no longer fit, forcing her to give up wearing boots and heels.

Jessica's weight gain had a significant impact on her self-esteem and daily life. Despite her love for Halloween, she never felt confident enough to dress up due to her weight. She worried about appearing ridiculous and even scarier than the costumes. Her mother, a pillar of support, was the first to introduce her to Yes You Can! in a bid to help Jessica regain her confidence and improve her quality of life.

With Yes You Can!, Jessica saw a glimmer of hope. It wasn't just about losing weight; it was about regaining her energy, joy, and enjoying life with her daughter. The program's focus on Latin and Nicaraguan cuisine allowed her to savor the flavors she loved while reducing her calorie intake.

Jessica's determination and the support of her mother and Yes You Can! have enabled her to make incredible progress. With a renewed sense of self-confidence and the energy she craved, she looks forward to enjoying Halloween dressed up with her daughter, free from the weight of her past. Now it's your turn to take the first step towards a better you!
