Our bodies can be our best friends, or, well… sometimes it takes years of hard work and self-love to accept them for what they are. It’s no secret that sticking to your health and body goals can be nerve-wracking, and sometimes, one of the hardest things you go through in life.
So, this time, we’re looking at people who fought hard and harder, fell down and stood up, made it through tears and sweat, and the gloomy days where it all seemed impossible. Thanks to the subreddit Progress Pics where 1.5 million members have been sharing their incredible body transformations since 2011 when the group was created, we now know that every single thing is possible.
From losing an amount of weight equal to your second self, to beating an eating disorder and learning to have a healthy relationship with food, to… I am not crying, you are. Let’s just all give these unreal folks a great round of upvotes!
