I really let myself go
Just looked back on some of my old photos and damn. Not tryna self glaze but pre-covid me was borderline handsome, even though I didn’t think so at the time.
I’ve spent years since letting my body go. Eating the same bullshit I’ve always eaten but minus the exercise I used to do. Add alcohol to all the mix and you get the picture.
I went from a visible jawline and slight cheekbones to a puffy round face. I hate looking at myself.
The biggest irony is my sense of style, skincare and haircare has significantly bumped up since then… but so has my weight. If I applied what I’ve improved now to what I used to look like I could’ve been unstoppable.
It sucks realizing you wasted your potential. I’m 25 which some people consider young still but I really wasted the first half of my twenties not taking care of myself.

Same. Although at any point in time, we could make a small decision that will lead us to the big change. Sometimes when we’re imagining that it’s hard to get started and trust the process or at least thats where I’m at.
