Introduction

Leelad, a 31-year-old man, lost 78lbs (303lbs to 225lbs) within a year. He shared his success in a Reddit post along with his progress pictures. In his post, he mentioned that his weight was not the only thing he was concerned about. He also wondered if losing weight could change his face.

Can Losing Weight Change Your Face?

Many people wonder if losing weight can change their facial features. Dr. Gary Goldenberg, a New York-based dermatologist, explains that weight loss can reduce facial fullness, and it can make the face look more defined. Leelad himself received compliments from Reddit users, who noticed the difference in his face, and told him that he was looking more attractive.

Changes in Clothing Size

Leelad also mentioned changes in his clothing size. He wore XXXL before and after losing weight, he has been able to fit well in size XL/L shirts. He went from wearing 44-inch waist trousers to 34/36-inch waist ones. His calf muscles grew noticeably as a result of carrying his weight earlier. He tried skinny jeans in 34s, but his calf muscles prevented him from getting his feet inside. He expressed his satisfaction with clothes from Primark which were cheap but also looked good.

Compliments Received

Leelad received compliments about his appearance from Reddit users. They appreciated his hard work in losing weight and encouraged him to keep going. A comment by Frankie_Said stood out as the user humorously suggested that he should try going for a cat man/asian caricature type thing. Leelad replied that he would stick to wit and humor, which he had relied on for a long time.

Conclusion

Leelad's Reddit post provides us with insight into his weight loss journey, changes in his body and most importantly, his perception of himself. It shows that losing weight can motivate people to pursue a healthier lifestyle, change their appearance positively and improve their self-esteem. It also shows how a supportive online community on Reddit can provide encouragement to people looking to make healthy lifestyle changes.
