Feeling beautiful again (photo)

I haven't felt comfortable or even remotely attractive in a long time. I finally made the choice to get healthy and change my lifestyle into a more positive one.

I've lost 30 pounds and finally feel comfortable in my own skin. I smile more, and I laugh more. I feel like when I do smile especially for pictures, that it isn't fake anymore. I feel happy when I see them uploaded instead of disappointed or sad.

Overall I just feel better and am so happy that I've come such a long way. Just wanted to share my happiness with everyone.

Before weight was 165ish lbs and my current weight is 137.

    Being happy is half of what makes a person beautiful! A heartfelt smile is so good-looking. I've lost a similar amount of weight to you a few years ago and know exactly how you feel. Very pleased for you!
