Beauty is a sensitive topic to tackle. On the one hand, most people want to leave a good first impression and be loved, respected, accepted, and adored by others. On the other hand, focusing too much on your appearance can harm your mental health and make you forget about all the other important parts of life.
Looks matter, but getting the balance right and developing a healthy relationship with beauty and self-improvement is tough. ‘The Glow Up’ is an online community dedicated to physical improvement, and today, we are featuring some of the most impressive before-and-after photos of people who were incredibly proud of the changes they made.

#46 [18m] Total Transformation
Until around late 2023 I was thinking constantly that I must lost weight, how should I do it, cut down on snacks, I should go to gym, but the thing is that I was very introverted and feared the gym so I didn't went. But in 2023 December, the breaking point came, a friend of mine invited me to the gym, and after like 1-2 months I really disciplined myself (he left the gym by then, so I was solo). And in like 6 months I went from ~110kg to a whopping 72kg. I workout regularly since then, but I stopped the extensive cutting, but planning one again :) Before starting this, I never thought it would be possible, not in this scale. But it certainly was. I changed very much not just psychically but mentally too, I motivate close people in my life since then. If you too want to lose weight, here's a quick advice to take with you: It is absolutely possible no matter your age, it all comes down to determation. If you truly want it, you can do it. But don't think of it like a diet. You're current lifestyle lead you here, if you lose the weight, but continue the lifestyle you had before, you will gain it back in no time. It's a lifestyle change, yes diet is part of it in the beginning, but it's a lifestyle change. Good luck stay strong.

Didn’t tweeze my eyebrows since everything is shut down and I don’t trust myself to tweeze them on my own 😭!!! (I just filled them in and concealed them))
I used two different custom palettes (shadows and shimmers from makeup geek). My eyeliner isn’t as prominent in the phot but overall really loved this look.
My hair is out and about since my first photo wasn’t distinctive on length!! (I know my hair being in a bun at home looked a bit confusing lol.)
