15+ People That Worked on Themselves and Feel Awesome Now

Working on yourself is very difficult. It takes a lot of time and effort. And it’s not always about losing weight or hiding flaws under makeup. What really motivates us is the example of brave people that loved themselves, beat their insecurities, and did a tremendous amount of work. Such good care of themselves is obviously reflected in their looks. When you look at them, you can see that anything is possible.

We at CHEERY are convinced that the willpower of these people can motivate you to do something great.
