Introduction

Losing weight can be challenging, especially when it takes time to see noticeable results. One Reddit user, unpoppedkernel, didn't feel like they had lost any significant weight until they compared a current photo to one taken before their weight loss journey.

The Start of the Journey

Unpoppedkernel started their journey in January 2022, weighing 283 lbs at 5'6". After 6 months of taking baby steps, they managed to lose 45 lbs and bring their weight down to 238 lbs. Although they didn't get to their goal weight yet, they knew they were making progress.

Perseverance and Positive Feedback

It wasn't easy, but unpoppedkernel persevered and received lots of positive feedback from Reddit users. Encouragement and compliments such as 'you look like a whole different person' and 'amazing transformation' motivated them to keep going even when progress was slow.

Seeing the Real Results

Unpoppedkernel thought they hadn't made any significant changes until they saw a photo of themselves before their weight loss journey. They were amazed and proud of the progress they had made. Sometimes, it takes a new perspective to see how far we've come.

Conclusion

The weight loss journey can be difficult, but taking baby steps and being patient can make a big difference. Unpoppedkernel's story is a testament to this. If you're on a weight loss journey, know that progress takes time, and the journey is worth it. Don't forget to celebrate any progress made along the way.
