Hey everyone a quick update before we get into the episode.

Latoy Chante Snell is a runner and chef who speaks about body positivity and

shutting down the naysayers including the ones in our own heads.

We recorded this episode earlier in the year, like a lot earlier, and since then, a lot has changed.

While Latoya has been running and cycling and doing all sorts of things to raise money for

different causes. She's also offering current classes to work on ourselves as we

adjust to our new normal. I'm a big believer that part of living wildly means doing self-work so I'm a fan of what

Latoya is teaching. Her classes go over things like acknowledging your inner athlete, silencing

your inner troll, and how to shut down the naysayers in your life.

We'll link to the classes in our show notes so you can head over to running fat chef.com

and tap on the courses section.

I'm so inspired by Latoya's work and I encourage you all to check it out.

All right now back to the interview with Latoya Chante Snell was running the New York City Marathon.

22 miles in, in, she has one thing on her mind, finishing the race.

At that exact moment, she hears a comment from the sidelines.

It's going to take your fat ass forever.

Why are you even out here?

When you hear that, you're like, what?

You know, like, did I hear what I think I heard and you like it

takes you a minute to process it and as a New Yorker as old school New Yorker I

immediately turned around it was like what did you say and you say and he repeated it and he was just like it was the look on his face it was just so smug.

So next thing I know I turned into an old school New Yorker and just started going back and forth.
