Sharing Progress Online and Finding Support

When Lexi joined Instagram to document progress, she expected maybe a handful of friends to notice. Using the handle @fatgirlfedup, she shared raw photos of cooking, workouts, and tough days, never hiding the struggle. To her surprise, strangers began following, drawn to her honesty.

Danny encouraged her quietly while she shared recipes and routines. Soon, the page grew rapidly, filled with messages from people saying her journey gave them hope. What began as simple accountability turned into a community. Every like and comment reminded her she wasn’t alone and strengthened her belief that real change was possible.
