Introduction

TheCurlyCactus has shared their weight loss journey on Reddit, boasting of a 35lb loss within seven months. The post showcases the difference in their face, but they have difficulty seeing the changes themselves on a daily basis.

Importance of Self Image

It is a proven fact that people's self-image and self-perception could be skewed about how they see themselves. Therefore, when a person loses weight or starts a fitness journey, they often have trouble identifying the progress that they have made. TheCurlyCactus mentions in their post how this has been a challenge for them.

Changes in the Face

The users in the comment section of TheCurlyCactus’ post are quick to point out the changes in the face that were evident in the two pictures posted. The most significant changes were noted around the eyes and nose bridge, with the eyes appearing more prominent and the nose appearing narrower.

Celebrating Progress

It is essential to celebrate progress, no matter how small or big, as it keeps people motivated in their fitness journey. TheCurlyCactus sharing their progress on social media showcases the power of social validation and encouragement that can help people on their journey.

Conclusion

TheCurlyCactus’ post provides an insight into how self-perception can be a challenge for anyone on their fitness journey. However, with social networks such as Reddit, those embarking on their fitness journey can realize how much progress they have made. Therefore, it is important for people to have a supportive group of peers, friends, and family to encourage them to continue their healthy lifestyle changes.
