Latoya's Story: Living Past Fat Shaming
This article, written about a year ago, popped up on my feed from Yoni Freedhoff. As we all look towards our "new year's resolutions," I thought it was a good reminder that we are not statistics: we are human individuals. We're all on a journey together, but the destination? Well, apart from the final destination, it's all different.
Hope you enjoy this encouraging word, as I did. If you're easily offended by language and attitude, skip this.

These days, when I wake up in the morning, I ask myself how can I flourish as the best human being I can be. I no longer want to ― or worry about ― fulfilling someone else’s fitness goals. I no longer want to be ― or worry about being ― the star of anyone’s “Woman Crush Wednesday.” I’m too busy trying to be the boogeyman to my own fears and, subsequently, the best version of myself. I want to look into the mirror and be proud of the incredible athlete and human being that I’ve grown into.
