You spend a lot of money and time establishing the perfect wardrobe to rock...but
what happens when nothing fits?!? Or your Higher Power
has blessed you with a child you have been praying for but you’re too heavy and short-winded to enjoy
"Mommy & Me" moments???
Our feature this week is a
stylish wife and mother, LaToya J. Dotson Denton, from Chicago who decided, "If I was not strong enough to make the change for me, I
would have to make the change for the sake of my daughter."
LaToya didn't use a weight loss app
consistently enough to even give credit to that process. She has
downloaded a dozen or so apps to her phone swearing that "today would
be the day!" but always forgot to make that solid commitment. Her
weight loss journey began when she committed to do the The Daniel Plan diet with her
church for 21 days eating only fruits, veggies,
grains, water, and herbal tea.
She went beyond that and added an extra 30 days. When those additional days were over, LaToya added fish and lean meats to the Daniel Plan diet. Throughout the duration, she worked out (doing cardio and light weight lifting) 4 days a week. Six months later...she shed 30 pounds! with this diet and exercise plan.
"I would like for curvy girls everywhere to know that they are not alone. Although making the choice to change is difficult (both mentally and physically), the one person that will benefit from the change is you. I know that there are some days when you will give in to temptation, but that does not give you permission to give up. Rome was not built in a day, so allow yourself (body and mind) to heal, get healthy, and get fit." ~ LaToya
