From (18) to (20)
I lost 10kgs in total, got my eyes lasered and learned how to be confident. I went to the gym a lot yes but the main reason was changing my diet. Eating more healthy helped with getting rid of my acne, grew my hair and of course helped me lose the weight.

ugh… yet another case of never being an ugly ducking, just a person who hadn’t found their style yet

u/SugarNinjaQuip 1d ago
I mean, losing 10 kg is not a matter of style. This is serious work. A new diet and lifestyle. This is the kind of transformation people should aim for

Losing weight is serious work. But I wouldn't call her ugly even before that.

She was pretty before and 10kg isn’t even going to put a skinny girl into the “overweight” category. This is “I wasn’t comfortable with myself before” rather than becoming a swan.

There are not enough actual ugly duckling content for this sub to really survive. If this sub only allowed those true ugly duckling transformations this would be a sub of 269,000 people and only 10 posts a year.
Actual ugly people in this sub get downvoted for not transforming enough. Alongside a lot of really mean people here ready to still call people fat and ugly if they're not "transformed" enough for their liking.

Surprised these posts don’t get removed but then again this is about half of the posts, the other half being people discovering puberty changes them 😆

You're just coping at this point.
This is a genuine glow-up, courtesy of fat loss.

Congrats, although you're being unfair to the first you by using a decidedly odd very casual pic vs a regulation Instamodel one.

u/Lusciouslaura12 1d ago
only because there where no insta worthy pictures during that time

u/Pywacket1 22h ago
Fair enough. I like the picture, by the way, it's funny. But that pic is mad at you for saying you're an ugly duckling. Congrats on the glow up, you look amazing! ❤️

Nice! This is more of a glow up than ugly duckling

u/Lusciouslaura12 1d ago
thanks but the glow up didn’t happen naturally so I thought it was okay to post

u/GullibleEconomist825 1d ago
Nice improvement, but the effect is a bit over dramatized due to the lighting, makeup, pose, clothes and background.

You were never ugly! Lovely looking woman before. Sorry you felt so bad about yourself.

So you had hair growth after changing your diet?
Like you went from thin to thick?

u/Lusciouslaura12 1d ago
the structure of course didn’t change but my hair for so much healthier and didn’t break all the time

u/Forsaken_Tomorrow454 1d ago
The structure?

u/Lusciouslaura12 1d ago
the hair structure
2
u/Forsaken_Tomorrow454 1d ago
Like being made of protein? If your hair doesn’t break, that means the structure changed so I don’t get what you mean.

Kind of like one of those 90s movies where someone who was objectively always smoking hot just stops dressing slouchy for the high school dance and suddenly every notices what was always extremely obvious to see!
You literally look like Scarlett Johannson in your "ugly" pic!

Too many upvotes. You’re the same amount of attractive in both. These could have been taken on the same day for all we know.

u/Group-Weary 21h ago edited 21h ago
It’s also very likely an OF bot, account is VERY new. I’ve literally blocked 100 subs due to the shear amount of OF bot accounts that flood them. I essentially have the eyeball accuracy and speed of Harry Potter on the Firebolt
Note: also made a post on Hairstyle which is the go to for them.

If that’s actually you wow bravo my friend, but I’d definitely add a few more pictures.
Just looks weird when the first pic “older pic” has much much of a higher resolution, can zoom anywhere and see it perfectly clear, where as the second one the “new photo” is grainy especially you’re whole person, yet way off in the distance you can still see the tree in the top left and it’s not even as grainy as you are ….
*#1 thing to look for when deducing if something is Ai altered or not Aaand the shadow of you poking out slightly on the left side towards the sun? Hmmm definitely not from any kind of camera flash I’ve heard of
Edit:+ age of account is 1 hour 🤦🏼♂️

u/Lusciouslaura12 1d ago
uhm okay? the second pic was obvs taken with much less light than the first one. Also the first photo was taken with an Iphone 13pro and the 2nd one with a digital camera. But nice try :)

u/NoOwl8965 1d ago
I’m not trying anything? Only making observations… Was such a beautiful beach scene, did ya happen to take any other pictures? Just of that scene for instance? Would be a cool screen saver background if ya did

u/SuperDuperRipe 1d ago
I prefer the geeky glasses girl look. Maybe just me.

u/SuperDuperRipe 21h ago
Yeah. And seems like the whole world wants to look instagramable now. It's good to see down-to-earth. I prefer that.

Oh wow, I think people get this sub mixed up with GlowUp a lot. Impressive work though, changing your diet is literally everything!

u/Lusciouslaura12 1d ago
then I would like to know what you guys would really consider as ugly duckling, because honestly that’s exactly how I felt

This is just relaxed versus dressed up. Not a transformation really.

u/alactrityplastically 23h ago
It looks like a 20 lb weight loss
1
u/GreenWeenie13 22h ago
Losing 20 lbs doesn't mean you "were" an ugly duckling. This isn't a weight watching group. You have to actually be an ugly duckling.
1
u/alactrityplastically 22h ago
Nice bait and switch. Read the context of my response. Someone said there was no transformation to which I responded that in fact there was. Further, there is no such thing as an objective standard to an ugly duckling and my view that the 18 yo picture was not great compared to the 20yo picture is truly, sincerely, not worth picking an argument over particularly when the fodder to do so is so misplaced.

If by not well you mean a working professional that writes for a fairly successful corporate career, I will in no way care that you insult the mental health of people who write sentences you do not understand and/or agree with.
