Introduction

Reddit user Guarantee_Exotic shared her inspiring weight loss journey, which began in March/April 2020, going from 198lbs to 140lbs for a total loss of 58lbs. She expressed that she no longer recognizes herself in the before photo, and commenters noted her amazing transformation and confidence.

Hating Herself

In the before photo, Guarantee_Exotic says she would cringe at the sight of herself in the mirror and felt tired and sluggish. This feeling may be due to carrying extra weight. According to the CDC, being overweight or obese may increase the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer.

Getting Her Sh*t Together

Guarantee_Exotic attributes her success to getting her sh*t together. She may be referring to lifestyle changes such as eating healthier and exercising regularly. In fact, according to the Mayo Clinic, making gradual and sustainable lifestyle changes is key to successful weight loss. It's important to find a healthy balance of nutrition and exercise that works for you.

Results

The results of Guarantee_Exotic's hard work are evident in the stunning before and after comparison. She looks youthful and glowing in the after photo, in contrast to the tired and unhappy person in the before photo. The physical benefits of weight loss are undeniable, but the mental health benefits can be life-changing as well.

Conclusion

If you're struggling with your weight, Guarantee_Exotic's story is an inspiring reminder that it's never too late to make lifestyle changes and improve your well-being. Remember that weight loss is not a one-size-fits-all journey, and it may take time to find a balance that works for you. But with commitment and perseverance, you can achieve your goals and live a healthier, happier life.
