It could be for the health benefits, it could be to fit into certain size clothes, it could be simply because of the social stigma attached to being overweight.
For Josie Desgrand, a teenager from Australia, it was Instagram. At just 16-years-old, Josie tipped the scales at 280Ibs and knew something had to give. Unhappy with her body, she was constantly reminded of how other girls looked as she scrolled through her Instagram feed and saw slim, attractive models smiling back at her.
She’d tried diets before, but her failure to stick to them left her on a spiralling staircase of self-pity and excess junk food.
Eventually, she decided it was time to put her foot down …
Speaking to Bored Panda, Josie explained her ‘Eureka!’ moment.
“I went into my room and stripped down to my underwear,” she said. Then she made a deal with herself. “No longer fat Josie.”
“I took pictures of myself at different angles, excited for my next weight loss journey. I used tape measure and wrote down my dimensions knowing I had a long way to go, but I wanted to track every change, no matter how small.”
