Here’s the juicy part. Letitia says the weight wasn’t just physical. It was emotional. She had to change how she talked to herself.

She stopped saying “I can’t lose weight.” She started saying “I’m getting stronger.” That single switch made all the difference. Mindset is the real superstar.
She also stopped weighing herself every day. She used how her clothes felt instead. A loose pair of jeans became a bigger victory than any number.

This didn’t happen overnight. It took about a year. Slow and steady. No dramatic before-and-after in just four weeks.
She lost around two and a half stone (that’s about 35 pounds for Americans). The weight came off gradually. Her skin had time to adjust. No saggy bits left behind.
Why is this fun to talk about? Because it’s so human. She didn’t buy a magic pill. She just walked, ate less junk, and kept going. That’s something we can all wrap our heads around.
