GLOW UP! 60 days sober from alcohol [38]
Just 60 days alcohol free. No filters on both. (I got lip filler a week ago which is why my lips are more plump in the after picture.) I look scary in the first picture. Morning, hungover, on a bender - probably already had some Tito’s before taking the picture. I did originally take it so I can look back at how disgusting I look in case I ever tried out the sober thing.
*Edit: I didn't expect this post to blow up so much. I appreciate everyone's kind words and encouragement! I cannot respond to everyone, so for those asking for my skincare routine: First and foremost, HYDRATE. I drink water from a 40 oz tumbler, I drink about 3 of those a day. I cleanse my face with Cetaphil cleanser. Then I use COSRX OneStep Peptide Collagen Toner Pads. I apply dermastart clear choice sport shield spf 45. Then I apply KrX Mela Defense Whitening Serum. I repeat the same before bed minus the sunscreen. Before bed I also add Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Lift + Sculpt Eye Cream. GOOD LUCK to everyone on your journey! #ODAAT
PSA: Can all the people that don't know how to discipline themselves and put in their 110% stop projecting and nitpicking every detail of these pictures? And trying to convince themselves and others that this isn't possible or realistic, that it's the lighting, that it's the camera lens, the position of the photo, that my freckles are darker in the first picture, or anything else you're trying so hard to justify yourselves with? Lol, clearly you've never been a full blown alcoholic that decided to make a 180 - not only by putting the bottle down but adding a lot of other healthy things to your new routine. I purposely posted a picture without a filter, edits or make up and put my bare face out there even though the first picture was embarrassing. I did it so others can get some motivation because I used to LOVE seeing others progress pictures and it gave me hope to be there one day too when I was ready. There is no benefit here for me by posting some unrealistic picture lol. Yes, it is very possible. Please don't let people like that make you think otherwise or discourage you.
