    No shade, I’m considering getting some jaw work done to help with my jawline and profile. Did you get any injections or work to get that profile? You look great!

      Sister! Spill!! What was the most effective way to target this area?? The girlies are dying to know 😭

      Edit: there is no way to target specific areas. This i now know

        Glad you're being honest. i've seen way too many influences trying to sell the myth of fat targeting and as I've lost weight, the areas it leaves first seem truly random. Way too many people get lost in the prep for the process of weight loss instead of just doing the thing

        [–]NeenerNeaner 96 points97 points  (0 children)

        no such thing as targeted fat loss. have to lower your overall body fat %

        [–]SlowbroHomoMomo 50 points51 points  (3 children)

        Noooo! Not the truth! /s i figured but had to know if there were some secret technique I wasn't implementing

        i feel you. sadly not! that would be nice

        [–]gitblamed_ 14 points15 points  (1 child)

        You're not going to lose targeted fat, but as a girl who's had a weak jawline most of her life - there's a noticeable difference between when I do gua sha in the morning and when I don't. When I don't have time, people ask me about what I was doing last night, in a way like I must have been drinking and that's why my face is puffy (🙃)

        [–]alexmikli 6 points7 points  (1 child)

        Only way targeted "fat" loss is targeted muscle gain that just makes the skin stretch in a perhaps more appealing way.

        [–]Either_Cockroach3627 6 points7 points  (0 children)

        As a fattie sugar makes my face swell so much. I’ve only lost 7 pounds but my face is also slimmer!

        [–]RealnessInMadness 6 points7 points  (1 child)

        You’re lucky that fat went away the way it did.

        Others usually get that flab there…. Thank genetics for that.

        [–]Tangerine_daydreams 6 points7 points  (0 children)

        For whatever reason, I'm lucky enough that my face has never gotten particularly chubby, even at my highest of 320. On the one hand that's cool, but on the other hand, I think it's always kind of made my face and head look way too small for my large body. 🤣 But at least that means I'm not likely to get flab in that area.

        Now, everywhere else... that's a different story. My arms in particular are going to be a nightmare, I can already tell. 🤦‍♀️ Probably my stomach too, but that's easier to hide.

        It's really kind of funny- many if not most of us probably have some issues with our self image due to our weight. And when we lose it many of still do, just of a different kind- the extra skin. But I'll be relieved to finally feel healthy and I guess that's what really counts.

        Anyway, OP looks amazing!

        [–]biruking 7 points8 points  (3 children)

        Don't get injections as they fade and then you'll need more and they look worse with ageing and they you'll need more. It's a vicious cycle. Look at your problem not as "my jawline doesn't look good" but rather as "is the bone itself recessed", " do I have excess fat and therefore need to lose weight" ,"is my gonial angle too steep" etc.

        Also a lot of people have a recessed Maxilla(upper jaw) along with the mandible(lower jaw) so you might need to look into that.

        [–]CoupleofDoms 5 points6 points  (5 children)

        Wow! Good for you- did you have surgery after weight loss?

          [–]biruking 7 points8 points  (0 children)

          Judging from the pics she always had the bone there. So I'm guessing it's just weight loss.

          [–]magdalenmaybe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

          I had this done in my 40's. The surgery was one of the toughest I've ever had but totally worth it. Not sure if this is the clinical term, or if it's even still used, but it's called an Incompetent Chin - which is a horrible name. But you're so right. My self confidence increased dramatically. In my case, as in most, it was a structural thing. I could've lost half my body weight and it wouldn't have changed. Hated it all my life. Getting a jawline made a world of difference. And I didn't even have to hit myself in the face with a hammer to get it.

          Congratulations!! You look amazing!!! ❤️

                Its enough to make one wonder how much of the negative self-talk is actually a reflection of how society is treating us, rather than us necessarily hating ourselves.

                [–]stumblios 77 points78 points  (2 children)

                I think self esteem is named wrong. I know it's called that because it is how you view yourself, but how you view yourself is heavily influenced by how others view/talk to you.

                As adults we can encourage people to surround themselves with positive influences and it makes a huge difference. But my heart aches for kids who can't escape toxic homes or bullies at school. Those scars linger.

                [–]j____b____ 11 points12 points  (1 child)

                That’s why the regular word is just esteem. 

                [–]cloudforested 13 points14 points  (0 children)

                Exactly. Is it really "negative self-talk" if other people are saying it to me?

                [–]Expert-Run9476 58 points59 points  (0 children)

                It's hard to be proud of doing something that is so difficult to realize people were judging you because of your physical appearance. I say to people that sometimes I still feel how I used to look and not sure people understand what I mean when I say that. Even in photos I don't recognize myself because I can't help but see my old self. Congrats on your journey! and all the hard work you put into bettering yourself

                [–]ice1000 74 points75 points  (0 children)

                  Some “friends” only value you when they feel they’re “winning.” The moment you level up (like through weight loss), the power dynamic shifts, and they now feel like they are losing the competition, of which you didn’t even know you were competing in…

                  Those “friends” are not losses when they go ❤️

                  [–]Clusterpuff 10 points11 points  (1 child)

                  It’s honestly got to be exhausting living that way, always seeing others as competitors / opposition.

                  OP is shedding more than just weight! (Congrats btw, OP!) She is letting go of people who are showing their true colors ✨

                  [–]Minglans 11 points12 points  (2 children)

                  My cousin (we were close for a few years when I was around 15 and she was 20) had told me once that the reason she likes to keep me around is because she looks better by comparison; would constantly tit check herself as well, she automatically thought I was lesser because I had 'less'. That definitely crashed me. We both were pretty in our own way but the nerve of her to actually say that to my face and it wasn't even a joke.

                  There was also a time a few years ago I had told my mom in confidence (which was another mistake - trusting her with this info only to be weaponized later, again 🙄) that I was beyond depressed (not quite suicidal but getting there) so my mom runs to my cousin to tell her the new juicy gossip to which my cousin calls me up the next day to say: "What do YOU have to be depressed about?? It's not like YOU have any kids hahaha!", No "Hi", no "How are you doing?" just straight up mocking me and invalidating everything I feel. She's doing great though I'm sure (possibly a sugar daddy lol..) but she's a full blown racist and she voted for Trump every single time. I should have dropped her a long time ago. She has kids and always said to herself that it did not matter who the baby dady was, she just wants kids. The kids are little hellions apparently but I don't talk with any of them anymore.

                  [–]recyclopath_ 20 points21 points  (1 child)

                  There are some people who's entire lives revolve around their weight. They can be fat or skinny but either way every single day, all day, they are thinking about weight, calories, exercise etc.

                  It really affects how they interact with others. Specifically this hierarchy of "deserving" vs "undeserving" when it comes to size and ranking of themselves above friends and acquaintances who are larger. When going against their evaluations they can react with extreme cruelty.

                  [–]faroffland 5 points6 points  (0 children)

                  This is me but I had a restrictive ED between the ages of around 15-23 and still go through occasional phases of binge and purging. I automatically evaluate every person’s weight and it affects how I feel about myself in relation to someone else’s body every single day, every single time I see someone else.

                  However, this is all internal and all self-focused. It does not affect how I feel about or treat friends and even strangers. It is very much an automatic ‘they are thinner than me so I feel inferior’ - or ‘they are bigger than me and they still look so great, why don’t I look like that?’ internal dialogue. Someone else’s body is ALWAYS a negative reflection of my own body, bigger or smaller than me.

                  I’m not excusing it. It’s so fucked up and so horrible, it makes me feel awful that I do this. But it’s really hard to live with and I think people who haven’t ever had an ED just can’t understand it. People should never ever be cruel to others because of their own issues but this kind of behaviour absolutely comes from insecurity about themselves, and has NOTHING to do with the other person.

                  When you have an ED, you lose when someone else is big and you lose when someone else is small. It’s all ultimately just losing.

                  [–]VegetableReward5201 6 points7 points  (0 children)

                  That doesn't sound like a friend. It sounds like someone who used you to make themselves feel better. She probably feels jealous because you managed to do something that would be way too tough for her.

                  Good job on the weight-loss! That shit is hard!

                  [–]JordanDoesTV 24 points25 points  (2 children)

                  It’s really the grossest part of weight loss everyone complimenting you and basically treating you like an actual person, basically letting you know what they really thought about you before.

                  [–]TheVoid-ItCalls 5 points6 points  (0 children)

                  Yeah, had similar experiences as a guy. Lost ~100 lbs and put on quite a bit of muscle, and my interactions with others completely changed. I'll be honest, it has sort of soured my outlook on people and only led to me distancing myself from others.

                  I know it's just human nature and can't be helped, but discovering the superficiality of it all was pretty depressing.

                      oof ik, I didn't have the same issues as you but I had vitiligo and when I got cured, people started treating me so much differently and it hurt a lot :(. Before that I never knew that I am someone who people will think as beautiful or attractive at all

                      it happens when your skinny too and gain weight. i was skinny when i was younger and started gaining weight people definitely told me that i was gaining weight especially in the face. "your face is getting fat or your face is getting puffy"

                      [–]spambearpig 110 points111 points  (17 children)

                      I was a fat kid in school and then toward the end, I got myself in really good shape. It was so depressing how much that affected my popularity.

                      But it really imprinted on me never to treat people that way and taught me to try to see right past the superficial.

                      I dealt with this exact experience. People are nicer and talk to me more than before. Just made me realize people were not nice to me because of what I used to look like.

                        Similarly lost a lot of weight and the amount of casual conversation people try to have with me now is the worst as someone who doesnt enjoy casual conversations with random people. I am also frequently suspicious when random people are overly nice to me or chatty becauee that wasn't my experience for most of my life

                        As a man I did a lot of transformation last year and the power of look is really strong as I feel it first hand. People are not only nicer to me they also respect what I have to say more even thought I am talking about the same thing.

                        [–]Expert-Run9476 4 points5 points  (0 children)

                        I think that's how society works. They find value with people who are in better "shape" because I think it comes off as you have discipline and values. Congrats on your transformation and your accomplishments!

                        Im not OP and a dude but can confirm this has 100% been my experience. Lost around 200lbs overall now and in decent shape, the difference in how society treats me as a whole is wild. It still takes me by surprise at times because I think of myself still as over 400lbs and forget that isnt me so I often assume people are messing with me when they are what Id consider overly nice.

                        I can see this happening and its fucked up . But also the opposite happens ive been skinny my whole life and i feel like over weight people were always the most mean to me . I have always been super nice to overweight people and try to treat everyone one the same but overweight people would always be the one to say “ damn your so fucking skinny” “ you need to eat more” or just generally be mean and roll their eyes at me.

                        Had the same experience when I lost a bunch of weight.

                        It made me a pretty cynical person for a while, to be honest. Some people are very superficial.

                        Yeah losing weight is crazy, turns out I was hiding quite the physic and face.

                        It’s also crazy how people and especially the other sex treat you.

                        I’m still a fat shy anxious boy at heart, so at least I’m true to myself

                            OP reposts this from time to time to fish for more karma. They've hidden their posting history to make it harder to look and see.

                                Adipose tissue (fat) is an endocrine organ. It makes hormones.

                                [–]Substantial-Sea-3672 17 points18 points  (1 child)

                                Fat is not a benign substance.

                                As someone who lost a ton of weight (and so was subjected to fat shaming previously) I really wish we could hone body positivity into something that helped everyone get as healthy as they can be. Be positive but not complacent you know?

                                [–]Tenderhombre 5 points6 points  (0 children)

                                Fat loss helps, and diet in general. High sugar and carb intake can worsen acne, plus sometimes dairy. Also better hydration is good for both weight loss and skin.

                                I cant ever completely give up dairy though. I love ice cream too much.

                                [–]Albert_dark 23 points24 points  (1 child)

                                That is what reducing fats intake do, fat food increases skin inflammation and creates skin folds that trap moisture. Getting on a healthy diet not only help reducing weight but also contributes to a plethora of other health benefits like reducing chance of heart diseases, reducing infections, keeping good hormonal levels, better immunological system etc.

                                There's a saying where I live that roughly translates to "you are what you eat", meaning if you eat healthier you gonna have a good health, but if you only eat trash food, that's also what your health will be.

                                    Not OP but in the middle of a substantial cut (-40lbs today from September 1st). Counting calories, particularly at the beginning helped me a lot if only to understand where my calories were coming from and be more mindful of what I'm eating.

                                    Also, don't let perfection get in the way of good. Always remember that the next meal is a different meal and tomorrow is another day, next week is just a few days away. Just don't let the screw up (and you will have screw ups) ruin the effort you've made. It's not a failure or even a setback, it's just another day.

                                    Chicks dig scars and glory lasts forever.

                                    Thank you so much, I’ve been on my journey for a while and I had to take a week off the gym because I wasn’t feeling well and when I went back yesterday I couldn’t even get through my work out, the gym whipped my ass. Kind of felt like a failure, but I won’t give up

                                      I’m a therapist and this is a big yes. Don’t complicate it. Don’t make huge goals. Simple, long term change is going to set you up for greater success than major quick changes. But also I am a bit chunky myself because of my job. Working my own small steps to get back on track. The first one is aiming for 500 more steps a day a majority of days a week than I’ve been walking.

                                      Have had the complete opposite experience - I was a pretty good looking guy, but certain things changed due to factors out of my control and now I'm just average to below average. The way people treat you is night and day.

                                      Not saying you shouldn’t be proud of yourself, but you posted this (or at least very similar username) months ago in r/intermittentfasting and then deleted that post. And months before that in r/fasting. Why not update the picture if it’s you? Just seems weird and karma farming for what reason?

                                        Sounds like sleep apnea. This can get better with weight loss, but it doesn't always go away. You may want to get a sleep study done to make sure you're getting enough air during sleep.

                                          Incredible. How did you get motivation? Was it really hard?

                                          I've always been a chubby but physically strong girl and was diagnosed with PCOS, so the acne part added an extra layer of shame. On top of that, my Japanese family was also ashamed of me even though I couldn't help my skin and the weight gain when I hit puberty. Would love to hear about your journey.

                                            Did you have to do anything specific since you also have PCOS in order to lose weight or just plain old work extra hard? Did acne go away with the weight loss?

                                            I was a fat guy for like 6 months lol, shot up from 168lbs to 238lbs in a very short amount of time. Lost it pretty quickly but I was miserable being overweight, I’ve got no clue how people can do it for their whole life. Well done on the weight loss though! It’s not easy.

                                            Lots of people also gain weight quickly when they are in depressive spells and don't realize it until it's noticeable to others too. It's hard to "see" the weight gain when you aren't focusing on taking care of yourself :(

                                            Great work.

                                            Side note, do people really think blacking out only the area around the eyes anonymizes them?

                                                  As a dude that has lost over 100lbs himself, congrats on the hard work.

                                                  If you wore that dress in the 1st picture, it would have changed earlier.

                                                    Hell. Fuckin. Yeah.

                                                    Great job. I saw you mention you’re currently halfway to your goal? Despite that, you’ve already pulled off a better jawline than the vast majority of people.
