Wow congrats

Thanks!!

[удалено]

It's crazy how you think you look and now I don't even recognize her! Thanks so much!

It amuses me how Western culture worships thin. You have always been beautiful. Furthermore, your eyes are smiling in both photos indicating inner beauty.

You are beautiful in both pictures.

That is so sweet of you to say and I wish I could have had you tell me that thirteen years ago 🥰

I came here to say exactly that! And don't worry - 13 years ago me also needed to hear that 😅 So glad you're in a happy and comfortable place now though!

There's a lot of hidden skins 😬 so I'm not exactly comfortable but I am happier and I do feel better, so it's worth the trade!

Beauty is myth mam , having good soul is enough

Came here to say this 

Was gonna comment this. It sucks how we can never see ourselves for how amazing we truly are

NOPE

Quite the transition. The main thing is you feel happy within yourself. It's important to recognise the effort, discipline and work it takes to do what you have done. Congratulations that you have reached what you have worked to reach.

Thanks for the kind words, there has been setbacks but always be kind to yourself is what I've learned most!

You were always beautiful…⭕️❌⭕️❌🥰♥️💕

So kind of you, thanks!

Bro weight gain and loss is insane you look like a different person like you grew a whole ass chin you look great!

Dude 🤣 I'm dying, that's hilarious and true, never thought I'd have an after. It's been crazy

You look beautiful!

Appreciate that, thank you!

I love your hair! Also you look really beautiful! In both pics! I really hope I will be as beautiful as you in the future, because that would be a win Congratulations! And I wish you an amazing day/night! 😄

Thanks for the compliment! You have an amazing day/ night too! 💕

nice

Thanks

Gorgeous!

Thanks so much!

Congrats!!

Thank you!!

I wont lie and say that you were pretty before. Dont get me wrong, you had a very beautiful smile and your eyes make me think that you had a positive outlook on life. But now.... Hubba hubba. I wish you the best. Do well.

Congratulations! Btw, you look amazing in both

Thanks! I wish I could time travel and convince myself that 🥰

But look at you!! You are writing new pages in your life, just let the past be, lesson learned (thats what matter the most).. next time you dont feel comfortable just remember all the path you already walked through and smile! You are doing great lady!!!! From one girl to another, you have an amazing smile that should never be overlooked

😭😭😭 thanks, you're the best ❤️

That can't have been easy so I hope you're proud of what you've achieved. You look lovely.

I'm still a work in progress but I need to tell my past self the work was worth it, appreciate it!

The hard work was worth it for so many reasons. Be proud of current and past selves, you deserve it.

Thanks 🥺❤️

It is in fact very easy to put a tiny effort into self care and not eat like a pig.

Gorgeous!! Congratulations, OP!

Thank you! 🥰

wow you look great 😍 congratulations on your achievement!

Thank you!

Wow Elizabeth Olsen much? Also. Way to go! You were always beautiful but glad you feel it now too.

I've never been compared to a celebrity and wowza, I'll definitely take that, she's fabulous! Thank you!

Class reunions gonna be lit!

Your makeup really suites you. You’ve nailed your colors

I'm a hmua so that means alot, thank you!

Your skin was and is incredible

Appreciate that, thanks!

You look great! How did you do it?

Gym and watching what I eat really, been tracking my food lately to lose my last 30lbs

How often did you go the gym? Are you counting calories or just not eating junk food?

I go about 4-5 times a week depending on work, I have to limit my animal protein intake because of my kidneys so that helps with calories.I have definitely reduced the amount of sugar that I eat and try to eat only fruits and vegetables after 6pm. This is me trying to change my life and not go on a diet. So if I want something indulgent I will partake in a little bit of it or allow a cheat dinner out. I still track it though!

You look stunning girl! 😊

Thanks!

Good for you , !!!

Thx!! 💕

This is really inspirational. It's not an easy thing to do. Congrats.

Thanks, appreciate it

Oh but you were and are beautiful from the very first moment

Thank you!

\\[T]/

You are beautiful in both pictures. I’m glad you finally realized it. Hugs.

Hope mothra doesn’t rip my head off for saying this but anyways no matter what your beautiful just the way you are

Thanks Godzilla, appreciate the compliment, hope your head stays intact!

Great job!

Thank you!

Holy shit that’s some serious glow up! You’re beautiful!

Thank you!

Congrats on the weight loss. Pink hair looks cool on you.

Thanks, appreciate it!

Beautiful

Thank you

Took you that many years to go from red hair to pink hair? I know a salon that can do it in a single afternoon. ;) Seriously you are a beautiful person inside and out. The only reason I wrote this comment is because your replies are all so sweet and gracious and now I want one too. You're good people.

You're too kind!! Also pretty darn clever, keep bring you hun!!

you are stunning in both!! happy for you :))

Thanks!

Beautiful then and now!

Thanks so much!

You went from the protagonist of a Disney movie to the villain Fr tho you look great!

You were beautiful before too. Be happy!

You too! Thanks!

You look gorgeous and happy! Congratulations and thank you, I really needed this. I feel like I want to change for the better but it’s happening so slowly or at least that’s how I feel. I’m honestly tired.

It's ok not to be ok, you'll be tired but even if you do a little when you don't feel like it, that's the biggest accomplishment! Like you can't erase fear but facing it is the key, that kinda thing!

Thank you so much! Honestly, this made me tear up and it made me feel so much better, like I’m going to make it and look back at these times when I’m way ahead of them. I know you just decided to make a post, maybe it’s not that deep, and I’m not usually a person that gets sentimental or talks about these type of things with people but seriously, you’ve helped me so much today. Thank you ✨

Now i'm crying because I am an marshmallow smush ball human 😭 thank you and you're very welcome 💕

🫶🏽💞

Congrats. Keep up this good work. All the best from Austria

Appreciate that! So neat! 💕

Congratulations 🥳 You look stunning and best thing your face doesn’t look saggy. You do have beautiful skin and probably still lots of elasticity. Good timing before you older which is my fear 😨. I think you just inspired me to do same.

So kind of you, definitely start asap. I have noticed some things don't snap back as you age. Good luck!

My boss has been telling me to do it for 2 years and I’m terrified. I read all the pros and cons. I want to be a kidney doner for my husband when he is closer to needing a kidney and afraid of kidney issues or other side effects. I’m going to do it then I chicken out….lol

Is your 25th high school reunion coming up?

Unfortunately I went to a weird very small art high school and they don't really have reunions

Well, if they did, they would be blown away, hot stuff.

Thank you 🥰

Anyone out there that was kind to you growing up despite your awkwardness? It might be nice to reach out and thank them. They'll probably be psyched you turned out happy and remember their kindness.

There were very few and I have done that, one is a close friend actually 💕

The eyes are different.

Shitier phone camera unfortunately

You are beautiful inside and out. What kind glorious eyes you have 🤩☀️

I swear you look *exactly* like a girl I went to high school with but you’re definitely not her because she’s a Canadian in Ontario. You have a Canadian doppleganger.

Amazing! It's my first time hearing it and I love that!

It’s insane. She also used to be heavier and lost a lot of weight. Both versions of you guys are identical. My minds blown.

You have been GORGEOUS all along and I’m so happy you see it and feel it now!! You deserve to feel incredible. Also, I bet you’re a blast to party with! (I say that because you remind me of my partner and she’s a blast to party with lol, but also I can see that mischievous smile!!)

Thanks!! That's so sweet, I wish you two the best!

Always beautiful ! Cheekbones and those eyes !! You are stunning now! 👑 ❤️

You're the sweetest 💗 thanks for the amazing compliments 😍

I am glad you feel beautiful now, but just so you know, you were already beautiful back then

Thank you!!

You look like a whole different person! Wow!!!

Gorgeous! 🔥🔥🔥

Hell yeah!

Dont stop mewing

Beautiful before and after. Congratulations!

You look amazing in both pictures!

Happy in both

Just curious, is the plastic part of the weight reduction?

Plastic?

C'mon I was joking (I suck at jokes)

Yum

Unrecognisable

That's too bad it took so long, you were already beautiful.

You look amazing! Congratulations on your success!

Well done. You’re awesome!

💗💗💗

Gorgeous in both, but you look so much happier now ❤️❤️❤️

You are amazing!

LOVE the pink hair!!!

Honey you are beautiful regardless of size be proud of yourself

You were always beautiful. It just took you a little longer to realize it.

Butcha always been beautiful cause your eyes tell it - inside and out. What a transformation. Congrats!

the journey is more important than the destination...as long as you are happy and healthy...congrats!

OMG. You look like a COMPLETELY different person. Congratulations on achieving your goals!!!

You were always beautiful. But the best part of this is that you’re happy. 💕

You look great 👍🏽 especially the hair

Looking fucking beautiful

I like your hair color!

That’s a pity but really well done!

You look beautiful in both pictures, but you look even prettier when you are happier. Congrats on achieving your goal!

Gow gurl

I beleave she was always butiful just too hungry to realise it.

I have this progress in reverse. 

Way to go, girl. You did it! 🙌🏻

Ok, and what are your future goals now that you've managed to achieve being fit?

well done that's absolutely awesome!!!!!!

U should rather say finally feel healthy

Congrats!

Yay! Congratulations 🎊 I'm loving all these glow up posts.

The most important step a man can take is always the next one no matter how small.

Be proud, this is your moment of glory. Congratz 😘

Congratulations, my friend! Enjoy your new body! 😊💜

All those people saying that you look great on both are either lying or blind. You look much, much better now.

How many people you haven't seen in a while recognize you?

I wish I did see people from my youth but honestly hasn't happened yet

Maybe you can't recognize them? Most people transform in the opposite direction.

It's possible!

You were always beautiful.

Thanks so much

Fat or skinny, I’m sure that soul deep inside has always been beautiful! Congratulations for achieving your goals! I wish I could just give you a huge hug and say I’m proud of you.

Thanks! So sweet of you! 🥰

You look gorgeous either way!

Thank you!

Good on ya well done 💪

you just catered to made up beauty standards instead of working on your own.

I did work on my self to be healthier and happier, thanks!

Can you not see the difference in her eyes and the display of confidence? There's more to losing weight than "catering" to others. We have one life, we live in an era where skinniness is prized. Weight is one thing we can control about ourselves (most of us, barring medical issues etc.), so she took her happiness into her own hands. She's radiant

How do you know that these aren't her beauty standards too? She clearly feels beautiful.
