I just wanted to make this to show people that what they may think is effective for weight loss actually isn’t. The first picture was taken after a week or so of heavy restricting and binging. The second picture was taken after a week of healthy eating & exercise. 

You know what else? You shouldn’t let the scale define your progress. I am the exact same weight in both pictures but yet I look different. 

Start treating your body with love. Nourish yourself and you’ll see results. I promise. 

Please listen to his message. Please eat today.
