I simply cannot believe how delusional I was back then about my looks. I was bloated and had 0 jaw definition with clear recession. The only thing stopping me from deleting those old pics out of sheer disgust is that I want to see how well my skin and hair hold up over the years. Anyway, 5 years later, I now look much better. I mog my old self to suicide. I've been hard mewing off and on, chewing as often as my jaw could tolerate it, and I leanmaxxed to the point where I have a defined ogee curve and slightly hollow cheeks when I clench. My ramus grew longer and the soft tissue under my jaw improved so that now when I mew, my jaw is very sharp (when I first started mewing, my submental region looked very odd and ill-defined when I mewed, so it actually looked better/more normal when I wasn't mewing).
Yeah yeah mewing is cope. Whatever. Maybe chewing and losing weight are responsible for most of the changes in my face. Don't get me wrong tho - I'm still not pleased with how I look, and I still want surgery to enhance my jaw. But it's still an obvious improvement from where I used to be.
My point is that I'm glad I took action when I realized I needed to improve my face. I could have coped like "one day I'll get jaw surgery to turn me into a mogger, so until then I won't change my lifestyle at all. I'll do that after my future surgery." That would have been a big mistake. I'm still not chad, so my results with girls have only marginally improved (mostly cuz non-nt and shadowbanned on tinder), but I'm also looksmaxxing for myself. I want to be happy when I see my face in the mirror. So imo it's worth fighting for marginal gains in my face and body. Every millimeter of ramus growth, every meal I skip, every time I decide to have a salad instead of bread, every time I go to the gym when I just don't feel like it - it all counts. It's unfortunate that faltering in any 1 aspect of looksmaxxing negates a lot of progress in other areas (i.e. not getting enough sleep reduces overnight muscle recovery after a workout, and makes your skin worse, etc.), so I see it as an all-or-nothing endeavor. And I accept it. My skincare routine may take half an hour, but it's worth it to me when my friends notice how young I look compared to my age. I miss eating snacks at various times throughout the day, but those days are permanently over. I want to reach my full potential. I want to know what I would have looked like in my prime if I had just been born with slightly better genes. I hope it gives me a taste of the youth that was taken from me.
I hope this helped to motivate some of you. If you have a good enough base, then I think looksmaxxing is 100% worth it. But it's up to you.
