Haha he has to scale things proportionally!
I love these types of articles!. They are full of motivation.
100% I'm taking my lockdown body to the gym 😂 ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! 😂😂
these are so great 👍
if you want a change do it!
But, first- want it badly!
It wasn't a fat shaming article
I agree, nothing in this article was meant in a bad way, and if you feel targeted by that there's nothing bright side can do 😶
I didn't feel targeted by the way. The user who commented it felt so.
Inspirational well done to all of them
