TL;DR
Month 1 was chaos since I had so many things to improve on. Month 2 was clarity since I learned which things I should focus on, in this case, less is more. I'm trying to make a few small changes into consistent daily habits, focusing on too many things is cope .
I’ve made no visible progress IMO, maybe even look worse...
Before vs After
Sadly, I feel it looks more like Before Vs Before. I got some feedback saying I look autistic and miserable in all my pictures, so I tried to smile, now hopefully I just look autistic. Photos are from last week when I went to see family, I know the angles are not ideal etc but thought these photos would be more accurate than some selfie or screenshot on Zoom, which I used before in a post, and they made me look better, which made me think I had improved.
I’ve actually started doing the boring daily work that makes results inevitable if I stay consistent (mewing-wise I started today and ordered a jawliner arriving next week, minoxidil and finas take a while to see results but if I start daily now it will be easier to track things month by month )
Also, because I spend so much time thinking about looksmaxing now that I'm aware how chopped I am it makes it easier to change, before family and friends would be like 'bruh you don't even look that bad ' but obviously I've never had a gf now will I ever have one looking like this but only the people here will admit it, I know when it comes to relationships that it's immature to think if I just look better that will change, its also going to be my personality, status and probably everything tbh that needs improving and even when I reach a decent point I should not try to hope some female will make my life better.
I got feedback in my last posts that I'm wasting time with all this, and just need to get money asap and get surgery, like 20% of the comments seem like that and sure, maybe there are some things I cannot fix naturally and if I had money I should fix it with surgery asap but I don't have the money and have so much to improve on naturally, I can fix issues with money but without any understanding of what caused them my lifestyle and habits will screw me over long term , e.g I got told to correct posture so started sitting straight on my PC and now I have back ache, so now I'm realsing my posture before was bad ( slouched on keyboard ) and resulting in a bunch of issues but now, even the solution which I thought was easy ( just remember to straighten back ) is more complex than I thought and is a habit I need to study and repeat daily for the rest of my life to actually fix, even if I got some back surgery or something I would still bend over to type on my keyboard. ( current fixes are to type without looking or to get an adjustable desk )
TL;DR
I will probably not see any changes for at least 2 months from these, even if I manage to make them daily habits and don't miss a day, mewing and running will be the hardest ones. Probably made these too long but I mainly just make these for myself now to track progress. might make some actual side profile pictures or something soon so its easier to visualise change/ lack of it

TL;DR
- My photos still look mid.
- My sleep is trash some nights.
- My meals are inconsistent.
- My lifestyle has been reactive, not built.
- I wasted time looking into surgeries and advanced routines before I even built a consistent sleep-wake cycle or a single meal I eat daily.
What Actually Improved
Habits
- Wake time is now consistently 6–7am.
- Running daily (was 5km → now 6–10km/day). Few off days due to injury from the increase but hopefully should adapt soon, Goal is 10km daily in 40 min, currently at 50 min
- Added consistent daily shake (morning): whey + milk + oats + pumpkin seeds + spirulina
- Evening: variable high-calorie meal to hit baseline macros + calories.
Protocol Additions
- Starting Finasteride + Minoxidil daily this month (brows, hairline, preventative).
- Started mewing (daily reminders, tracking tongue placement + posture).
- Started collagen for long-term skin/joint quality.
- Tracking sleep time + aiming to increase slowly.
I will probably not see any changes for at least 2 months from these, even if I manage to make them daily habits and don't miss a day, mewing and running will be the hardest ones. Probably made these too long but I mainly just make these for myself now to track progress. might make some actual side profile pictures or something soon so its easier to visualise change/ lack of it
