#9 REGULAR? Girl, you look awesome!
20 People Who Struggled to Make Better Versions of Themselves and Won
The people in this article all had different problems with the same goal: change something and become a better version of themselves. Some of them wanted to gain weight or stop an addiction, while others just wanted to change their image. And even though it took a lot of time and effort to make such changes, all of them went through a huge transformation.
We at Bright Side were so impressed by the transformations we saw. Just look at how much a person can change if they really want to.
1. “My journey of making myself better. It took 1 year but every moment was worth it. From a measly 110 lb to 165 lb.”
2. “A poor attempt at refreshing day-4 curls. But proud of how far I’ve come! No more bleach and straighteners!”
3. “Me before and after my battle with drug and alcohol addiction”
4. “Losing a brain tumor, having a smaller appetite and a new metabolism, no more battered and fried foods, and power walking and chasing toddlers 9 hours a day for work keeps me active! Joined a gym to work on the loose skin and getting strong!”
5. “Donated my hair. I feel like a different person!”
6. “My new teeth”
7. “I think I made the right choice.”
8. “Finally, my skin is healthy!”
9. “From an ugly duckling to a regular duck! Having a jawline is worth not eating cake for a while...”
10. “One year of growth! Never knew I had curls until this year.”
11. “18 months of a properly treated mental illness and recovery from drug addiction”
12. “Beat bulimia and got my teeth fixed just in time for Christmas!”
13. “Guys, I did a thing!!!”
14. “I call this, ’return of the jawline!’ ”


15. “A makeover in my 30s including hair, glasses, and clothes.”
16. “May I introduce my boyfriend before and after a shave — at least I think that’s still my boyfriend!”
17. “Left is at 13 (there’s a bun attached to that mop, promise) and right is 2 days after my 23rd birthday. Self-care goes a long way.”
18. “Before and after: 1 year off drugs”
19. “What my face looks like after I’ve lost weight”
20. “Becoming my own superhero in my recovery from anorexia”

Happy for people who were strong enough to dive up on drugs!
I can't even relate to the guy from the bonus, I can't grow beard...
I enjoy watching such transformations, because they charge me with motivation :)
