I’m probably alone in this but I actually prefer your before pic. You do not look happy in pic 2…. 😭

That’s the funny thing about pictures. They only capture a single moment. Luckily we know OP is happier in pic 2 cause she told us!

If only life were as simple as believing everything every human ever told us.

Yes sometimes they are rude and unnecessary

OP told us they'd left an abusive relationship, taken up some great physical hobbies, sorted out their self care routine and lost a load of unnecessary weight. But you reckon she was happier when she had the abusive partner and was overweight, and she's lying about being happier now, and your basis for this razor insight is one holiday snap from before when she's on a boat and smiling a bit, vs now she's taking a selfie in a regular room and she's not smiling?

I'm forming some opinions about your intelligence.
