In a typical before-and-after picture, we usually see someone slim down. This is not the case in these pictures posted by former bodybuilder Jolene Jones.
Jones, who used to be on a strict diet and exercise regime in order to compete in bodybuilding shows, has since given up her "restrictive" lifestyle to gain something much more important than muscle: happiness. Jones posted her "transformation" pictures to Facebook in early July, and through them spread an important a message of body positivity and acceptance.
