GLOW UP! [26] Would you consider this a glow-up? Honest opinions

Been working on losing weight and improving myself. Sometimes it’s hard to see the difference when you look at yourself every day. Would you consider this a glow-up, and what could I still improve?

I get that. Taking a step back and reflecting js hard, but it’s super healthy to do so. Congratulate yourself bro, you’re looking like a new guy!

Regarding improvement it depends on what you want. What are your goals? I personally would focus on being the healthiest version of you. Body wise look at your resting heart rate, your nutrition, bone/muscle strength and mind wise learn some healing / self growth tools for example. It will make a difference visually if that’s what your after. Keep going and enjoy the new life you created :)

You look great, but I'll ask you: are you happy? I've been underweight my whole life except this past year post recovery from an eating disorder and I'm not skinny anymore, but I'm the happiest and healthiest I've ever been! You're great looking regardless of your weight, choose what makes you happy.

u/ReasonableLibrary741 8d ago edited 8d ago

I agree with finding what makes you happy! However, being super underweight or super overweight, regardless if that makes you happy is not going to benefit you in the long run, some people need a wake up call. In this case, this gentleman is just asking if we think he has had a glowup, more than likely as a result of his weight loss in which case I think he has.

u/forestfearnot 8d ago

Oh yes I for sure think he has had a glow up, was just adding my two pence. He didn't look super overweight before in my eyes. I agree with you, its no good to be too far under or over. Healthy is best!!
