How Super Model La’Tecia Thomas Went From Size 6 to 16 (2 of 3)

But she has said she tries her best to stay positive no matter what. “I am human. It is hard sometimes to read certain things. But I think the best thing to do is to stay on track and have a lot of positive and supportive people around you. Don’t focus on the negative,” she said. She seems to have really tough skin.

La’Tecia has also said that the positive feedback she gets from her fans helps her stay motivated and positive. “The bad comes with the good. There’s a lot of positivity and there’s a lot of young girls I’ve met that are my followers and they’re from the ages of 14 onwards.”

The young women who follow La’Tecia have been so open and expressive about how the 26-year-old model has been an instrumental influence in their lives. “They’ve met me and they’re crying. They’re saying, ‘I get bullied everyday and I’m so glad I found you because you’re so positive and you’re someone that I can aspire to.’ That to be is just so incredible,” Thomas said.

Since she has gained weight, La’Tecia said that she is overall a lot happier with her body. She enjoys not worrying so much about her size and having to obsess over everything to stay thin. “I’m definitely a lot happier than what I used to be — and even if I were to lose weight now, I know I’ll be in a better place because my mind is in a healthy place,” she said.
