This Man's Post-breakup Transformation Wins Internet's Heart

Being in a relationship comes with its pros and cons; you could either be the best version of yourself or the worst. For one social media user, it made him someone else entirely, affecting him negatively. However, when he broke free of that situation, he transformed himself incredibly.

According to the user, he had become increasingly unhealthy after he came into a relationship. It made him look ten years older than his real age, even leading to hair loss. But after the breakup, his transformation became an inspiration to the netizens. The man took to his Reddit account to share his story of “glow up.”

He posted his “before and after” images on his account called @ShadyPotDealer. In the first photo, he showed his thinning hair. Then, in the following images, he is having a visible transformation, as his smile gets wider with each photo. The last photo, a mirror selfie, captures him at his best, where he is at his peak physicality, showing off his lean body. The post is captioned, “Hi! This is my progress from a post-breakup glow-up. Hair loss and weight loss are a bit over a year of progress, and I started lifting one year ago as of Sunday!”

The other users compliment the guy on his achievement. A user wrote, “I was not expecting that last pic damn. Glow up indeed well done.” A second user shared, “You had us in the first half. The last photo is a shock! Great job.” A third user wrote, “Honestly, I can hardly believe this is the same person…Like what magic is this.”

Out of curiosity one of the users asked him if he ran into his ex, to which he replied no. According to him, the reason for their breakup was her lack of interest in him, which had negative effects on him. He stated, “She’s not a bad person or anything, just a catalyst for me to change.”
