Growing up, LaDawn Latawiec stayed active enough to hide her weight. Rather than try to be one of the "skinny girls," her niche became being that one friend who could eat everything on the table. As an adult, Latawiec turned to closet binging, locking herself in her room and eating everything in sight—until one insensitive joke made her realize her unhealthy habits were not so secret anymore. Motivated to transform her lifestyle as much as her body, Latawiec learned how relying on food for comfort had only made things hurt worse. When tragedy stepped in to test her emotional limits, Latawiec found she could rise up stronger and more determined than ever thanks to her new, healthier attitude.
