Each day can be a start to a new life. Just losing weight and maintaining a healthy diet can help to reduce anxiety and depression or open up doors to a new job opportunity as a model. People can change drastically just by starting to love themselves.

We at Bright Side are all for better changes and a love of life and want to share 20 amazing people who could do it.
