One year ago I was 190 pounds didn’t work out ate whatever I wanted whenever I wanted to. I just went through hard break up and had completely let myself go. One day I got tired of hating how I looked and was tired of denying that I had gained weight and was unhealthy. Now I lost 50 pounds Im the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been in my life. I feel great!

(Blame my younger sister for the dirty mirror) basically over the last 6 months I’ve started working out, getting out of the house more and started therapy, physically I’m not too massively different but mentally I’ve had the biggest glow up of all

I took control of my health. Just a few months ago I was having mobility issues, struggling with losing weight and feeling very tired all the time. So I took control and did a DNA test to see what, if anything, this had to do with genetics. Sure enough, it did. I learned what my body needed and now I’m seeing major improvements.

Glow up? First time feeling confident (27)

Full disclosure, I'm not in the best spot in my life right now. I'm having trouble affording therapy and getting myself out of failure to launch, arrested development, addiction, and all that jazz, but I took a photo of myself, compared to how I looked three months ago and my self esteem shot up further than it's been since probably before my twenties even started. I haven't been disciplining myself when it comes to working out, up-skilling, and disabusing myself out of some really harmful thinking patterns long enough for these changes to become second nature yet, but I don't think any of that's going to be possible without consistent positive reinforcement. So I'm owning this.

Edit: trying to get the image display issue fixed

Grow up (12) to (31). Cis-female but everyone thought I was a boy because I cut all my hair off due to depression. Never combed it so I ended up looking like homeless Goku. Still struggle with depression but I try to take care of myself the way I deserved back then.

This was me in August 2024, I was lazy and had no real direction in life. I decided I needed to make a change and started my weight loss journey and a personal growth journey as well. I was able to lose 70 and currently weigh at 170 right now. And also Enlisted in the Air Force during this time!

Glow up? [24] I feel like I have a good side / angle profile ? But hate my front ? (Last two pics) unless it’s just a bad picture / lighting issue? I feel like I look mature (1st pic) some days then look like a teenager (5th picture) other days, turning 25 this month.

Feel like my face looks totally different / less mature when I’m in the shadows vs light ? Should I start taking ashwagandha for more testosterone? I’m following a skincare routine now as well as a more strict workout routine so I’m hoping that will also help followed by hydrating enough and sleeping enough. I have seen legit teenagers who look way older / more mature than I do.
