20 People Who Welcomed Their New Selves With Open Arms

When we look in the mirror, it’s a chance not only to notice and appreciate our looks; sometimes, we can go further and really get to know the person we’re looking at. There comes a time in life when we say goodbye to old habits and behaviors and make a plan with changes that can benefit us in the long run. It doesn’t have to be weight loss; it can be anything, as long as we look at our after picture and recognize ourselves entirely.

Now I’ve Seen Everything values people showing off their progress, and we found a few that are nothing short of inspiring.
