Reddit helped a young girl find her confidence back with a weight loss journey shared on the social media platform. The teenage girl, who goes by the username sharkfeet, posted a picture of herself back from when she weighed 181 pounds, and then went on to reveal that she had shed 21 pounds since.
In the picture that she shared, sharkfeet exclaimed "Hellooo, jawline! I didn't know you existed!". Her picture quickly went viral and was upvoted 152 times with several comments praising her for her weight loss.
Her journey to lose weight started by counting calories and walking 10,000 steps per day using Fitbit. Although she revealed that her busy lifestyle made it hard to exercise, but she made modifications in her eating habits to compensate for it. Sharkfeet, who enjoys carbs, switched to eating low-calorie options of her favorite food such as salads, broths and soups.
The teen also mentioned how making healthier food choices helped improve her complexion, and she got back the confidence to take more pictures of herself. In a later comment, she revealed that the outfit she was wearing in the picture was a dress by "Love Ady" that she bought from Nordstorm, and it made her feel comfortable and confident.
Sharkfeet said that it was challenging to lose weight, but she was happy with the outcome and encouraged others to try things out for themselves. The journey from 181 to 160 pounds not only made her feel confident about her appearance but showed how a few changes in lifestyle could help in bringing about significant improvements for oneself.
