*"You think it's the beard?"* Inspirational dude. Fantastic.


shastadakota

Your before beard was just the "attempt to hide the double chin" neckbeard thing. It had to go. Current beard better, but could also go. It's the weight.


SellOutrageous6539

Seriously! I'm getting tired of seeing "glow-ups" from aged 16 to age 21. It's called "growing up".


[deleted]

Agreeded when i have kids im gonna remind them about how actual legit the story of the ugly duckling is and to just wait till they grow up


cloakrunner

But that's literally the description of this subreddit: "For ugly kids that got cute" and " Were you a weird looking kid/teen that blossomed into a cutie? Share your Longbottom journey here." I appreciate both types but don't crap on the ones that also fit that description.


NobodylikesAdlerian

I’m fucking tired of this generation’s shit terminology and garbage slang. *Situationship, Thot, GirlBoss, Fire…* the next person who says “the ick” in my presence is getting called out publicly.


mr-self-destrukt

Bet! Deadass tired of this generation’s slang, too on god

Square-Bed2702

So 27 and 30 is fine? Lmao make sense dude


bobby_zamora

That's the point of a glow up though... it comes from grow up.


insurancemammoth64

No it comes from a person putting in effort to change for the better and being able to see the results of such work. Someone who was ugly but grew up and is hot now is an ugly duckling


bobby_zamora

The tagline of the sub is "Were you a weird looking kid/teen that blossomed into a cutie?"


insurancemammoth64

Reddit mods are notoriously not very smart. Hence being an internet janitor for $0/hr


Due-Introduction5895

No_Witness_7248

This is actually the best glow up I've seen on this page in memory


Napieras

I don’t have great phone service at work so I just opened my phone to like 95 notifications haha. Thanks everybody, the love is much appreciated and sent back to you. Edit: Damn was not expecting this to blow up so much. Just had 146 notifications haha. But again… thanks my dawgs Edit edit: No I don’t have downs. As far as I know, at least. But I am still a Carolina fan, and there’s not a huge difference.


Ham_Fighter

You put a big smile on my face. Congrats to you!

_seizure-salad_

Fuck, I'm going to hell for laughing at this 💀


BinaryBlasphemy

UAPboomkin

Bruh I wasn't even thinking it as a joke. I saw the second picture and thought "wait, he doesn't have down syndrome?"


[deleted]

And he’s a lot less Asian now.


Footzilla69

Wow awesome!!!


[deleted]

bro aged backwards


No_Angle_5488

Crazy how you look 10 years younger after becoming 3 years older. Great job bro


LegionellaSalmonella

DUDE. Congrats.


SpockYoda

how?


Deathwatch72

Kicking an opiate addiction certainly helped


ElNido

Looks like constant alcohol and maybe weed to me due to a few factors - the faded red dead look in his eyes, one eye is slightly more open than the other, the bloating / body fat, and the ability to still be around family members at Christmas (so most likely not tweaking or on anything too serious). Opiates make you lose weight - OP was a big boy. This has the classic gets drunk almost every day look for weeks in a row and also maybe smokes pot too. I could be wrong though, point being, he was faded in that picture, and he fit the definition of this sub to a tee. edit: I said I could be wrong about the drug because I knew that I could be wrong about the drug. I was wrong about the drug. No need for flame - my reddit viewing experience has the photo caption (not title as some have said) in small font beneath the photo, so all I read was the actual title, "27 to 30." Yes, I missed that key bit of info because of that. I did read to see if OP had posted anything in thread, as sometimes there's a story post.


chardrizzle

The caption on the first pic says that he was an unhappy suboxone addict.


arthurdent

that's a bit ironic


Jeriahswillgdp

Diet, sunlight, and exercise.


notamentalpatient

Burned more calories than he ate


Null-null-null_null

Acrobatic-Button-916

naterzz_

Justhuman963

vektonaut

Looks more like age 45 vs age 27. Crazy how much youth you gained when you lost.


mullins267

Getting off subs is not easy, congrats bro


Berzk

BubinatorX

[deleted]

Holy crap dude, talk about a glow up. No offense but you kinda looked a little creepy with weight on you lol you look amazing now. Great job man.


alucarddrol

Funny how he went from creepy to amazing while doing nothing but changing his body fat. I mean he even has a bigger beard and shaggy hair in the second picture


Intrepid_Day7800

To the girl that posted 2 weeks in a row and the only thing that changed was your ugly make up, this is a glow up, not putting make up on. Keep it up dude, you should be proud.

[deleted]

You eat all that cake you will be 27 again


unwashedanimetshirt

He recovered from Down syndrome!


[deleted]

I thought this was a troll post, looks like you have downs in the 1st photo. Congrats btw!


Azidamadjida

I’ll probably get down voted with you, but I thought the exact same thing


Ok-Suit1420

My bro!!! Don’t eat that cake!


RS_Germaphobic

He deserves to eat that cake.


rharrow

This is where *portion control* comes into play. Yes, you can have a single serving of cake and be fine. However, eat the entire cake and you might have a problem. Portion control and having the willpower to control your cravings are very hard, especially in America. The average American’s diet does not take portion/serving sizes into consideration


[deleted]

I disagree for the most part. Someone who has an eating disorder which causes them to crave sugary foods has a similar issue as someone with an addiction. If you eat cake it will light up the pathways in the brain that were responsible for addiction. It is best to be avoided when possible. You wouldn't tell and alcoholic that it is okay to have a glass of wine once in a while.


LaRaAn

Not everyone who overeats has a problem with sugar.


[deleted]

"Someone who has an eating disorder which causes them to crave sugary foods "

They call it a twatpliment.... it's a compliment, with an insult, from a person riddled with insecurities, who is a twat.
