Went from almost 150 lbs to 110ish, cut all my fried hair off and grew it out, and then learned how to do makeup. I don't have many pictures from back then because I was bullied and so self-conscious, I never thought I'd ever actually like my appearance. It's amazing what 7 years can do to your confidence!
Right?? I've had family not recognize me!
I'm glad you think that way, but looking back I see a completely different person! I grew up in a very rough place and I never really had time to put in effort until I got older
Once again, I have posted weekly for 4 years! There's no way I'd be able to hide surgery if I got it lmao
What, my face is a promo? I haven't brought it up once. If anything, the people searching my profile and commenting about it (because they can't help themselves apparently) are advertising it.
Oh I knew I'd get shit for it, but I don't care how upset you guys are. I'm allowed to post regular stuff on sfw subreddits because I am a regular person outside of that. If you can't separate the two, that's not my problem:)
I didn't, it is mainly learning makeup and aging! I did lose like 40 lbs but my face just slimmed up a bunch like two years ago. I also dealt with those crazy ass eyebrows haha
Thank you sm! ❤️ I always just felt like I didn't put in enough effort back then because I was very sad all the time, so it's hard to see older pictures as anything but depressing lol
I did not, no. I don't even see the difference, I still have a huge nose from the side? I just don't take pictures from that angle for a reason haha
If you have time, scroll to the bottom. I've posted every week for like 4 years, so you can watch the gradual change yourself if you don't believe that it's me. You can also see that the first one is a screenshot directly from my snapchat, and one that's nowhere else online. Very odd theories man
The make-up is a part of the glow up! Plus if I do more than one, I'm definitely going to get extra shit for "advertising" and spamming
Thank you! I completely agree, I've never felt so happy in my body ❤️
Imagine not being able to separate a person from their job. What a wild take 🤣
It's make-up honestly! I learned how to contour better and my nose from the front never looked crazy big so it's not a hard illusion
I have posted once a week for 4 years, you can watch the glow up in real time if you scroll far enough! Odd comment tbh
What's frustrating about me also having OF? I didn't post anything even slightly sexual, nor did I mention it in any comments. You had to go out of your way to find it. How is that frustrating when you actively seeked it out?
This is also my personal account man, I post my frogs too. Are you gonna call them an advertisement?
Is this not a glow up? Are people of certain jobs just not allowed to post anything outside of porn?
I overline and contour to make it look more realistic. All of these examples are dressed up, I usually wear less on an everyday basis.
As I've said before, you're completely free to have your opinion and say whatever you'd like. I'm just letting you know that it does not change what I intended this post to be, which is a genuine look back on how much I've changed/grown. I don't do it often because I hated that part of my life and how I looked, so this was a genuine 'holy shit' moment for me last night when I was scrolling before bed
But why does that bother you? It would be one thing if they were actively posting lewds/sexual selfies but I haven't done either. When you didn't know, it didn't bother you. Imagine if you said the same because of any other job, it would come off ridiculous. It's a subreddit about glow ups, and they don't exclude us because there is nothing overtly sexual about aging and taking better care of yourself. Excluding a group just because of their job is absolutely wack
Hell yeah! Wouldn't go back for a moment
I wish honestly, I've just never been able to afford it. I just know my angles a bit better now haha
The last three photos are over a year, so my style has fluctuated a lot. I'm trying to find what fits best atm ❤️
I would DIE to have my red hair back without all the issues 😭 I loved the way it glowed in the sun and it made me feel like fire! It unfortunately killed my natural curls and made it impossible to grow out because it would break off at the ends. It also dyed all my towels and pillowcases pink :')
Yours was fantastic though! Still took a ton of work, and you look amazing:)
If you're judging someone's entire personality off of 3 posed pictures, then you're certainly not someone I'd like to attract anyway:)
You don't get to decide that my account is a professional account. When I made it, it was a whole year before I even thought about making an OF. You can see that for yourself if you don't believe me. When I did start, it was a small side thing I posted to my PERSONAL account, because I never expected it to go anywhere. I can't do anything about it now. Even if I make another account right now, people would still complain because of past posts so what's the point?
I'm more confident now because I know who I am and I finally love who I see in the mirror, and some random person's weird obsession with my line of work does not change that.
I also haven't posted nudes anywhere but my profile in like a year, it's not like I'm spamming them in random subreddits. This is the main reason I don't post a crazy amount of regular stuff, because people like you can't separate the human from their job.
same tbh, but she comes back when I take the makeup off 🤣
I downvoted because it was wrong, what's the problem with that? Odd comment lmao
I agree that the make-up application has improved a bunch, that's definitely part of the glow-up. I can promise you that #2 took me over an hour or two to do so I wouldn't call that slapping it on, I just had a much heavier hand tbh
I practiced with my girl friends over the years, doing their make-up and taking their pictures (because I love photography) until I eventually realized I could do it to myself too 🤣
I get where you're coming from! I just look so uncomfortable in the second picture because of the people I'm with, I don't see any real happiness there:(
I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you, you can check by just scrolling back. I had Reddit more than a year before OF even crossed my mind. So confidently incorrect lmao
Sir, you said "you" over and over again and I've been drinking lmao
Nothing you said insinuated that you were speaking about someone else, or just people in general. Seeing as the original comment was also directly about me, I assumed that because you didn't directly say otherwise. I never once said that it's a simple decision IN GENERAL, I was exclusively speaking for myself. People can read what I said and decide for themselves as well, and I would never try to convince someone to do sw or make an OF as it's a big commitment. When did I ever speak on behalf of all men?? 🤣
I'm mainly confused because this has nothing to do with the original comment or the post if it's about OF in general, because they were judging MY personality exclusively on looks. The "trivial" thing had nothing at all to do with OF, it was in reference to my appearance. Why are you so mad that YOU misinterpreted my comment?
You seem to think I haven't thought about all of that:) I understand where you're coming from though. I know I'm on a limited time-frame for this and I don't mind, it was never supposed to be permanent. I grew up so poor that I was never able to think about college or anything besides survival, but now I actually have a future. I have a stable home and savings and I can finally go back to school soon! I was lucky enough to get a second chance at life, and I'm still working on being better every day.
I always knew I never wanted kids because I have a chronic pain condition that I would never want to risk spreading to possible children, so at least I don't have anyone to embarrass in the future haha
Homeless runaway is so real 🤣 thank you v much haha
I'm mainly scrunching less when I smile in pictures, and I pluck my eyebrows only on the bottom to get the maximum amount of room possible! I also fill in a bit up top so it doesn't look unnaturally thin and wuallah 🤌 more eyelid space
Oh boy, I was absolutely toasted. I actually agree haha, I loved my short hair a lot and I think it showed (it was just so easy to care for)
I didn't, though I really do want one currently. I mainly haven't because of cost and the recovery time is way too long:( I get my current look with liquid contour, then foundation, and contour powder on top to give it a natural blend. It's taken me ages to get it to look right, and it's mostly more natural looking in photos than in person
That's fair, but I can promise that it is the most forced smile imaginable. My friends were really awful at the time and I tried way too hard to fit in and enjoy them, when I hated myself constantly. The 3rd picture is probably the realest during that time because I was with my current best friend and we were goofing around:)
It was, mainly just because I was mad self-conscious so I didn't have many during that time. I felt like I looked like a dude lmao
This has me dying 🤣 I needed a fresh start so I cut my hair where the red met my roots. The eyebrows were originally an accident but it takes a few months to fix so I had to copy it to the other side haha
Maybe we would've gotten along well then:) and you're definitely a girl if that's how you are on the inside. Your body is just what carries that kick-ass feminine soul around. You better post after your transformation, I'm looking forward to seeing you blossom ❤️
That's fair! I was a little shit back then though, so you would've had a hell of a time actually liking me 😭
MAN I KNOW
genuinely I have no clue, I was going through so much at the time that I think it showed on my face most days. I was too stressed to care for myself
You can sense my need for them haha
I would totally have more if I could afford it, but the pieces I want are very expensive to get done right. I moved about a year ago and I'm putting everything towards my new place, but as soon as that's done I'm getting sleeves!
I know! I went from a frizzy mess to actual curls just by not dyeing it, it's nuts
Thank you sm! ❤️ Tbh, I'm not 100% sure? My mom had the same thing happen right after highschool, all her baby chub basically disappeared in her face but her body stayed the same size. I lost like 40 lbs at the same phase of my life, so I think thats why it looks way more dramatic.
I also just know how to pose better. I do that weird mouth suck thing (mewing?? I think 🤣) to help with the double chin when I'm looking down
What was her name? I don't know her but I'd happily be another person to keep her memory going in any way ❤️
The opposite actually! I moved to the middle of nowhere and started working from home, so I have a bit of extra time to spend on myself for once:)
I've posted at least once a week for 4 years, take a moment to scroll if you don't believe me haha
They are! I cut them in half so I only use the end part, makes it way more natural and doesn't weigh down your eyes ❤️
I pluck them myself and then fill them in! My #1 tip is trying to only pluck from the bottom to raise your eyebrow line and lift your face. Arch and length also depend on your face, so experiment with makeup to see what shape looks best before you commit to plucking!
Make-up is magic, what can I say
Not gonna lie, probably a filter! I am still a bit insecure about my no makeup face, so I don't post it often.
That's fair, I used to not have any idea what I was doing tbh. I still don't 100% know but I'm working on it lmao
I'm 5'6! I promise I eat enough, I just don't have a lot of muscle and I'm working on gaining it:")
I'm laughing so hard at this for some reason. I think my music taste actually got better because I listened to very sad, super slow music for a long time (which is still nice but not constantly)
Now I lean more towards alternative/indie/disco because its great motivation. If you have any music recs then I'll take em
I overline a bit and use a soft blush around the top and bottom to make it harder to see the edges. It looks much better in pictures, I don't usually overline as much when I'm wearing everyday makeup:)
I do! I brush it out with curl cream while it's wet, spray a little hair spray, then gently scrunch to squeeze out the water. I put it up in a bonnet and let it dry overnight.
I mostly just avoid using heat and try to be gentle with it. I'm very lucky that I got my dad's thick hair so it's pretty hardy on its own
Nah, 7 years is just a long ass time when you're young:)
Hell yeah! Make-up is absolutely stunning on men and I will scream that from the rooftops!
Nope, I was just lucky enough to have a good foundation underneath my baby chub. A lot of it is also finding what works for you specifically, because a lot of the make-up and accessories I had weren't very flattering. Confidence and a smile also goes a long way. You got this, I believe in you!
If it makes you feel better, pic 3 was step one! It felt so freeing to cut it all off and start over. You're on the road to happiness and prosperity as well. I have so much faith in you, go kick life's ass!
You're fine, you didn't offend at all! I've just seen this comment a bunch so I've gotten a bit curt with my replies out of mostly laziness haha
Have a good night as well!
I'm wearing make-up in every photo but the middle one lmao
I'm wearing makeup in every photo but the 3rd one, I just got better at it lmao
I honestly don't get how you missed the heavy eye liner, shadow, and lipstick in the second pic? I wear less than I used to since I have less to cover up
I was a pothead badly back then, and they're all just bad angles I think. When I smile they're just as small :")
The photo quality glow-up is the real one 🤣 learning how to properly take pictures with good lighting and more flattering angles helped a ton
Not to be rude, but you don't get to decide what "isn't me." I appreciate the sentiment but I was doing everything I could at the time (when I was younger) to be anything BUT me because I hated everything about who I was. I changed my hair color, flattened my natural curls, and caked my face in everything to make sure that I didn't recognize who I was looking at in the mirror. I wore baggy clothes that hid my body shape because I couldn't stand the rolls but didn't have the energy to work them off.
I feel way more like myself with my natural hair, and I wear way less makeup than I used to because I like my natural features. I put on clothes that show off my body because they make me feel cute, and I don't feel sick when I catch someone's eye.
I'm genuinely just tired of people thinking I'm "fake" now because I'm more myself than I have ever been in literally my whole life. I hope you understand that this isn't coming from an angry/hateful place, just that I'm finally proud of who I am and it's very disrespectful to call it "not human" because I've lost a bit of weight and look different. People grow and change, that doesn't make who they are/were a lie.
I'm wearing makeup in picture 1 and 2 as well? lmao
I didn't know that?? That's super cool actually
It's make-up and lighting contrast, I've learned how to take better pictures mostly
I didn't sadly, though I'm really thinking about it. I just double wash my face twice a day and makeup helps cover the rest
Just because you find it degrading doesn't mean it is, though you're entitled to your opinion. We're engaging because you started the conversation?? 🤣 Did you not expect a response or can you not handle one? There's absolutely no reason for this discussion because it's so unrelated to the "glow up", unless you HAVE to push your views on somebody else.
The only negative effect I have felt from doing sw online is people like you. I have never respected myself less, if anything I'm a stronger and much happier version of myself. You're not going to make me feel worse or change my mind, and your comment has absolutely nothing to do with the subreddit OR the post so if you're not upset, then why did you even find it necessary to comment?
You've made my whole day! Thank you ❤️
sure bud ❤️ I'll keep making money and you can stay mad about it:)
OF is actually what made me put way more effort into my appearance, and gave me the time to put towards it and money to be able to afford it. It gave me confidence and control for the first time. Without OF, I was too poor to even think about getting an education even though I worked almost 50 hours a week. I'm more at peace than I've ever been ❤️ you can think it's a waste, but it won't change the fact that it saved my life:)
Because I've posted every week for 4 years! I wouldn't be able to hide a nose job if I had one haha
I would also just say that I had one if I did, I honestly wish I could afford one
Less actually! I used to wear a ton back then but it looked so bad that I didn't want to post all the shitty heavy makeup. I don't have acne as bad so I have much less to cover up:)
Most of the fixing was on the inside tbh, I'm way happier than I used to be and that's the biggest difference that I see personally.
Better make-up, eyebrows, and biking a bunch!
Seeing all these responses makes me so glad I'm not crazy! My closest family and best friend try to tell me that I've always looked like this and I want to slap them 🤣 like they didn't see my goofy lookin ass growing up
🤣 I show my real face on stream once a week if you don't believe me!
Yes! 🤣 I still feel like I look like the before pic until I dress up haha
I used to smoke a ton of weed, so all three "before" pictures are toasted
I cut my hair off where my natural hair touched the red because it was so fried, I wanted to start over:)
Thank you, but the people in that picture made me feel awful. That is my most uncomfortable smile ever haha
I totally get where you're coming from though. I was just miserable around those people, so I can see personally how much I'm forcing it
I've posted every week for 4 years, check for yourself 🤷
I'm gonna be 100% real, most of it started because I was going through a lot so I lost a bunch of weight. I had issues with eating because it flares up my chronic pain.
But as of now and the past yearish, I've been working on gaining a bit of weight back. My ultimate goal is to be healthy and beefy 💪
Of course, you goon! Thank you for having a genuine conversation with me despite everything. There's absolutely nothing wrong with disagreeing on shit, as long as you're willing to sit and hear each other out tbh
?? I'm so confused? I didn't assume anything about you, I just said that not everyone has your views. Can you really not handle hearing that? I'm not taking it personally at all, I'm only saying that I already have someone that I love so I don't take anything people say about me or my life personally, because I'm not looking. I don't care about your opinion, but you're entitled to it. What about that is projection?
I'm not in denial, I'm saying that not everyone has your specific preferences. If you can't have someone disagree with you, then idk what to tell you man. I know that not everyone would be comfortable with their partner having an OF and I don't blame anyone for that. It doesn't make you a bad person to not want that, it's completely a personal preference. I'm just saying that I'm already loved by someone positively amazing so I don't need to worry about what others perceive my value to be, let alone some random internet dude. You can think whatever you want about my own standards, but I'm very happy! I hope you are too my dude
Do you see any begging? Posting a picture related to the subreddit seems very far removed lmao
I give love to the people that come ask, which I think does a lot. I might not change the world but I get to change someone's day, every day, and that brings me endless happiness. I get to make people feel special and loved, and it's a blast because giving love is literally my favorite thing in the world. I'm glad that you get to do what makes you happy, and it's good that you're trying to better humanity. But trying to put someone down because of how you personally feel about their job is not helping anyone, and it is a big waste of that smart ass brain of yours.
Your brain is a part of your body, sorry to break the bad news! I don't need to justify it because I'm more than proud of my body and I love to share ❤️ I'm just explaining something that was misunderstood:)
I don't think that's possible, but no haha
It's make-up and eyelashes that I use to extend my lash line, along with the fact that I used to smoke a lot of weed back then. None of those pictures are sober, all of the newer ones are
I am unfortunately still a fuckin goon, I can't hide that behind makeup 🤣
I feel more like me than ever! ❤️ Very happy with where I'm at, I never thought I'd get here:)
I'm a pale ass Mexican, but thank you! ❤️ haha
I had to bleach it to dye it red, so it dried out my hair to the point of it breaking off
Oh definitely dressed up more! I used to never really care at all because I just assumed people weren't attracted to me, I didn't really feel like I had a say in it. Now I do it because it makes me feel nice and put together:) thank you very much btw ❤️
Tbh the girl in those pictures would've ugly cried if you told her that to her face. Thank you very much ❤️
I'm wearing my best push-up bra in the last one, I still have no boobs 🤣
damn this genuinely made me laugh 😭
Ah yes, because porn is what made me lose 40lbs AND porn does my makeup! Truly a genius man
It's okay, if someone doesn't want to be my friend over something so trivial then I wouldn't want them anyway:) just shows their own insecurities.
Sure buddy, completely disregard the fact that none of these photos even show my body/anything more than my waist up. There is a single photo with cleavage while the others are completely covered. If you think the whole post is sexual because of the one dress in one photo while the others completely hide everything, that idk what to tell you 🤣
I traveled and saw that the world was bigger than the shitty city I grew up in, that there was happiness and hope out there waiting. I realized that my life was miserable because I never had the means or determination to change it. I then finally did everything I always wanted to do and my appearance just kinda followed (cutting my hair, biking/hiking, going out and dressing up more, etc.)
There's obviously a lot more, but that's the vaguest I can be without trauma dumping lmao
And is that my fault that these nosey mfs couldn't help themselves from snooping? You don't have to click my profile, it's not a requirement to view the post so it shouldn't matter.
I pay double taxes, and I am legally considered to be running a small business. Take that up with the government man 🤷
I'm sorry I wasn't ugly enough at the start for you 🤣 you can disagree but the whole sub is literally showing off the effort they put in. What else did you expect?
Sure buddy, selling your work is selling your body. Do you not do your job with your body? And yessir, that is exactly what that says. I never have and never will meet up with a customer for safety reasons, I do NOT want to be a murder victim. The service is for company, mostly during tough times when people want a non-judgemental shoulder to lean on.
I don't need you to tell me my "market value" as I am not a commodity, nor am I available. You seem to think that everyone is as close-minded as you, which is fine I guess. Doesn't make him love me less ❤️ I have never had a life so happy and I'm sorry that you can't see that. I hope you find just as much, if not more happiness as well.
Not an escort, not even sure where you got that from. I did this transformation mainly because of my job, not the other way around though! We all sell our bodies man, nothin wrong with that:)
Those are the most recent photos I have that are NOT sexual in nature. I don't take a lot of photos outside of OF because I'm usually very busy with my family, and I also never dress up for seeing them either. So, these are what I have that are nice without being inappropriate, no filter, and don't have my family in them. I've posted them once on Reddit.
If you have a problem with me posting some of the only regular pictures I've taken in the last year because I've posted them other places, then that's not my problem. You can rant and rave all day about how I'm a walking advertisement but I'm allowed to post here (according to the rules of the actual subreddit) and nothing you say is going to change that. Have fun wasting your time.

Am I not allowed to post anything anywhere because of my OF? This is also my personal account, I post my frogs and art too. You can think this is an ad but I genuinely feel more confident now, and I felt like sharing. No different from anyone else lmao
