SORORS COMMITTING TO LIVE HEALTHY LIFESTYLES





For the past few months, several Delta Omicron Sigma Alumni Chapter Sorors have committed to live healthy lifestyles. A healthy lifestyle is more than food, it’s the ability to manage your habits, energy level, exercise, sleep and organizational control. Sorors have committed to live healthy lifestyles not only by themselves, but also with other Sorors, family, and friends!

Soror Edwards-Keaton’s Testimony:



I began my journey of health and wellness after a Health Fair at my church where I was categorized as "obese". I was determined to get to a healthy range despite my comfort with the way I looked. I realized that it is NOT just about being happy in your own skin but also healthy! That's why I took this challenge seriously, joined Body Image Fitness Boot Camp and have since lost 32 LBS to date. I not only look great, I FEEL great!
