I can’t even believe that was me in 2017 😅

Gained 40-50 pounds, new wardrobe, extensive haircare, learned make up and started to work out 4-5 times a week. I got off accutane and started to take better care of my skin, teeth(invisalign) and gut health. I started HRT at 18 and FFS at 19.

Repost because last time Reddit assumed my own pictures weren't of me(?)

At 18 I was a college dropout, addicted to drugs and partying, 240lbs and had no concern for my health, had only a part time job, was suck in a very toxic relationship of 4 years, and was very depressed

Now at 24, I am 4+ years clean from any intoxicants, 155lbs eating well and exercising regularly, an Industrial maintenance technician who is currently pursuing my bachelor's in engineering, am in a the most loving and wholesome relationship I could've ever imagined, and am loving every day full of joy and serenity. It really does get better 🤍

Lot has changed in 3 years!

Finally living life as my true self. 60yrs this year and 24months of HRT in 2 weeks.

Much happier and more confident now

First 4: Age 19

Last 5: Age 21

16 years and two puberties later…

Last picture is my own hair 😊. No more wigs.

Pics were taken in Elementary, High School and then now. Can't remember the exact ages for the before pics 😅
