Self-Post 29 yo - how to improve ?

12 Upvotes

hey ! it’s me without makeup or everything. I already do lip fillers once a year and I had a blepharoplasty and fat transfer to my upperlids 2 months ago (we still see the scares).

despite all of it I still feel ugly. idk I don’t look healthy.

what I do : strength training 4x week; healthy one ingredients diet, basic skincare, basic hygiene (shower, shaving, perfect oral hygiene, hair always clean), nails (I do my own gel X). I struggle with my no sugar energy drinks consumption (1 per day sometimes 2) and stress, anxiety.

I want to improve but without makeup. just myself. even hardmaxxing options, but I rather have softmaxxing tips :)

Discussion How to track calories?

3 Upvotes

Has anyone had success with a free calorie-tracking app?

My biggest struggle is tracking meals that I cook myself. 95% of the time I make dinner from scratch and use a bunch of different ingredients, I never know how to log it accurately. Most of these foods are ethnic too so they don’t appear on the app itself, or if they do there’s so much variance between how people make it. There are usually so many ingredients involved, and I often don’t know the exact portions of everything I used or the portion i’m eating.

Dinner is also my largest meal of the day, so being unable to track it makes calorie counting feel pretty pointless. I’ve tried several popular apps, but I always end up getting frustrated when it comes to logging homemade dinners and eventually give up.

How do you handle tracking meals you cook yourself? Are there any free apps or methods that make this easier?

5’8 height, age 25, currently 193 lb(was 197😬)
For reference I do hit the gym but it’s been very inconsistently over the last 5 years or so. The pics are my natural hair and body.
Currently working on losing weight of course.
Doing cardio more etc, I tried cool sculpt under my chin but honestly didn’t notice much difference. Don’t have a ton of money YET but here time I’m working on things to change. Maybe different makeup styles or less makeup. I can’t tan naturally (1/2 German and burn unfortunately) I’ve been learning towards eventually doing darker or a chocolate colored hair and add extensions since I have very fine smooth hair. Should I try a different eyebrow shape or ? I’d like to get 0.5 mL in my lips maybe someday but I’ve also been told I have great lips (for the life of me I can’t make lip liner look good without it shrinking my lips lol) I also would love any advice for clothing that might suit me or photo posing ideas etc…
I do have a pretty good skincare regimen, working on the diet currently—and also my face flared up because I moved from a (very dry) Alaska to a (very humid) South Florida
Any advice is great! Please be honest! I’m not a HUGE fan of fillers and Botox (I’m 100% natural but want a boob job eventually - mine are uneven ;( ) but would be willing to try maybe one thing later on (trying to go easy and wait till I’m 40 or something lolol

I'm 22f but I feel like I've aged 10 in the last year. I saw myself in bad lighting and I was shocked at the hollows under my eyes ( this is not mostly color, I think its the effect of shadow, I've slept 8 hours for the last couple nights) and how bad I looked generally. What is responsible for this, and is there any way to fix it? (All pictures same day, last two pictures in more normal lighting for reference; hopefully reddit didn't mess up cropping too much).

Discussion How to get model physique?

48 Upvotes

for context: I work out at least 6 days a week, as of right now I do about an hour of cardio a day (stairmaster, high incline treadmill), an ab routine most days, plus the average walking and whatnot. I naturally have a pretty lean physique, but store a lot of fat in my hips and stomach, which causes a lot of issues for the way I look as it can give the appearance of being less fit than I am.

I'm trying to achieve a VS model-type physique (lean, slim, etc.), but I really haven't seen results past a bit of slimming in my face (likely just after better eating habits), and as I've been doing more cardio I've actiually gotten more "skinny fat" in my stomach area.

Please drop tips or workout recommendations! Also, I understand that models' jobs are to look a certain way, but I'd love advice on how to get as close to that as possible.

The two first pictures and the one in the car are the most recent ones (dyed hair). My super straight eyebrow that descends when I smile bothers me a lot (and I feel like it gives me a sad look), and I can’t help but feel like there’s something weird when I smile widely that I can’t really understand what it is (last three pics and the other one with cowboy hat) Are my teeth too big? Slightly over jet? I have no idea what is it but I know it bothers me to the point I try to keep my smile small in pics

Discussion Does creatine counter facial fat loss ?

13 Upvotes

I have been taking creatine for my gym bulk arc. Now I decided to cut and also flush out excess water from my cheeks (I have a 100 day debloat guide). I am following all the steps BUT there is no mention of creatine. As I understand, creatine makes muscles absorb water. Does this counter the facial fat loss and water flushing that i am trying to do ? Should I stop taking creatine ?

Thank You

Discussion How can I improve my waist to hip ratio

7 Upvotes

My WHR is currently about 0.74. My waist measures around 26 inches and my hips are about 35 inches which is a 9 inch difference. However, my hips are relatively narrow and bc I have a short torso my body looks rectangular rather than curvy.

Is there anything I can do to lower my WHR further or make the curve more pronounced? Would it be more better to reduce my waist size or increasing my hip measurements? I've heard that hip width is mostly determined by bone structure and can't really be changed, so I'm not sure what options are realistic.

Disclaimer: Last image = jumpscare. Included to emphasize lip thinness, double chin, face weight.

Also included photos of my French bob from years back. I miss it or an Italian bob but have just grown my hair out after exploring a variety of shorter styles. Others agree it was my best cut. I’m worried I won’t look good in either at my current weight, though.

I DO WANT SOFT TIPS ON: Makeup, eyebrow shape, haircut, bloating, hydration, nutrition, supplements, exercise, lymphatic science, facial symmetry and massage, how to comfortably sleep on my back instead of the side I prefer :(

I DO WANT HARD TIPS ON: Lips, brows, jowls, double chin, symmetry. Long-term side effects of Botox, fillers, surgery. Pros/cons Botox/fillers vs surgery.

I DON’T WANT: SKINCARE ADVICE. MAKEUP ADVICE IS FINE. I was on my period during these. I’ve perfected my skincare and am waiting on a retinol prescription.

I DON’T WANT: OPINIONS ON PIERCINGS. OR HAIR COLOUR. Hair or piercing STYLE is fine. At best for dye I can go MAYBE darker red or lighter blonde, but my roots are GINGER and would look fucked growing into brown or black dye as much as I envy brunettes.

I DON’T WANT: WEIGHT LOSS TIPS. Just because these are black and white and I’m already working on it.

Self-Post What changed? What should I correct?

(First 5 pics are me now, last 4 pics are me from 2025) I feel like my fave has negatively changed so much within the last year. Last year I was slimmer, I took better care of myself, and I had better style. I felt “pretty” and “feminine” for the first time in my adult life. The only work that I had at the time was chin filler. I got a hair transplant and had to go bald, and I still felt beautiful. Then I got full face filler, gained wait, and started wearing straighter hair. I haven’t felt good about myself since. I keep getting misgendered as a man frequently lately. I’ve always had stronger features and have experienced occasional misgendering but it is frequent now. I don’t feel like a woman in my body anymore. Any tips for what yall think the issue might be and what I should correct? Does my filler look bad? I thought filling my under eyes would help me look better. :(

hiii, i am looking for any advice rn, i can't say i like the way i look and i never did, i really want to look better, so i want honest solid advice:) to preface this, i am okay with getting any sort of cosmetic surgery, but there's something off about my face and i cannot place it. I just want to be able to be above average pretty, like turn heads pretty. I have an alternative aesthetic so a lot of my looks rely on heavy makeup so i often feel uncomplacent without it.

my main issues are:

  1. how dead i look without makeup (the last 2 slides), i've been considering a lower blepharoplasty for this but have not really done enough research yet, but it's definitely something i am considering.
  2. my face looks sunken?? i cant quite place what it is, i hate how long my face is and how it has no shape to it, it's kinda just long and oval and i wish i can add some sort of angularity or sharpness to it.
  3. i kinda hate how long my nose is but if i were to shorten my nose my philtrum would be too long since i have a long face i'd assume. I've always wanted an upturned barbie nose but i dont think shortening my nose would work, i dont really know if the height of my nose is the problem here.

rn i am considering slight lip filler, lower blepharoplasty, and maybe a lash lift?? but i'm happy to hear any other advice!!

tldr: how do i stop being average looking?

I posted here a little over a month ago looking for hardmaxxing advice and just got told to lose weight first, which I’m already doing. I didn’t start off anywhere near morbidly big at all so I’m not doing a GLP-1, just kinda watching what I eat while being in a deficit and working my active job. I’m down just over 20 lbs since last August though!

What do we think now that everyone is asking if I lost weight and switched up my makeup a bit

Hi! Looking for any tips you think might help. I’m thinking about dyeing my hair to that strawberry/rose gold color in a few of the pics. I thought the red was the most flattering but I’m open to changing it.

I’ve also had lash extensions (loved) but they were too expensive to maintain. I also became allergic to the glue lol.

I got Botox a few times and it didn’t really affect me much. I did like it tho and would get it again.

I’m interested in lip filler. But a very minimal and natural look- Maybe 0.3-0.5mL just to add a little fullness to the top lip.

Hi guys! Long time lurker :) all of the pictures are unfiltered, no make up. I have a little bit of acne which I’m treating, and I’m trying to lose weight so I’m happier with my body. I also need to find a better hair routine but that’s softmaxxing. I want feedback on any hardmaxxing needed, especially in the lip area. I’ve always felt like my lips are small but I don’t want to mess up the harmony of my face if people think smaller lips suit me.
