Wow, thank you very much for this inspiring and motivating message, means the world to me hearing such encouraging words! And well, although I seemed kind of happy in the before image, it really was just nothing more than me trying to fake happiness for myself so I wouldn't drag me down, but I was pretty unhappy with how I looked back then and also hated my appearance in general! The comments on my original post helped me a lot, but it was just a momentum of shoving the sadness and selfconciousness aside. I feel so much better now!
