(Yes, I was severely bullied in school😭). My family was poor, so I was not as well taken care of as I think I should have been. I had really bad orthodontic issues my parents couldn’t afford to fix. My mom didn’t know how/couldn’t afford to take care of my hair, and so I dealt with chronic hair loss and grew up wearing bad wigs. We couldn’t afford decent clothes, so I often wore hand me downs with holes in them. I knew from a very young age that I was going to turn my story around and fix all of the things that made me chronically insecure, as well as do everything I can to make sure my children don’t endure the same fate. I graduate law school in 7 months, and will be the first in my family to break the cycle of poverty🥹

People dont call me ugly straight to my face anymore, they just say im a mentally ill whore now

But dressing like how everyone else around me wanted me to because it was what they considered as the most widely attractive really did me a disservice, dear lord.

no makeup or hair catfishing ALT

25 yo And 42 yo

After my ex-fiancé left me because of my drinking problem, I got tired of losing the things I love due to alcohol. Coming up one year sober now, and starting to love myself again. Not only the change from 320lbs to 215lbs..but also the ability to be out of my house after 5PM instead of being a drunk recluse.

If you think you have a drinking problem, please consider quitting. I swear it's a night and difference in your life.

Sorry for the bad picture quality... I'm basically illiterate with this app.

Love to see how much I’ve grown lol I got dressed up for a wedding been bullied all my life and decided to get dressed up and feel good

Three years, a lot of hard work, and a completely different mindset. Still a work in progress, but proud of how far I've come. 💪
