20 People Who Came Out of Their Old Shells as Brand New People

Some animals shed their old skin or shells in order to make room for growth. The same logic can be applied to humans as well. If we want to become better individuals, we may need to leave our old habits and change a few things so we can transform into new and improved versions of ourselves.

Now I’ve Seen Everything compiled before-and-after pics of people who decided to grow out of their shells so they could move into a healthier and happier stage of their life.

1. “A lifetime of obesity and anxiety behind me”

2. This is a completely new person in just 2 years.

3. Is that the same person? Wow!

4. A massive difference in 13 months

5. Willpower and consistency transformed her in only 18 months.
