@gracesoph1a: if you have low self esteem don’t expect a physical transformation to magically improve your state of mind. it can be a fantastic catalyst for growth and improvement but not the main solution. building your internal strength is key. when undergoing a physical “glow up” shift your focus on the way in which the transformation improves upon your energy and mental health more than the aesthetics. of course, be proud of your accomplishments just stay grounded in the purpose behind your motivation..
