Taking a selfie daily has proven to do more than just feed into one woman's vanity, but rather the photos helped her document her extreme weight loss following her husband's suicide. Justine McCabe's husband killed himself last year.
The woman was distraught and spent her days grieving and consuming fast food. It was the second death that McCabe was facing. Her mother had also passed away shortly before her husband. Her grief was so severe that she couldn't take control of her life and the woman quickly reached 313lbs before family members intervened.
The woman was encouraged to exercise in hopes that the endorphins and movement would help boost her mood.
She joined a gym and started working out 6 times per week. McCabe also traded in her high caloric meals for a healthy, nutrient-rich diet.
Over the course of one year in which she was actively shedding pounds, the woman took a selfie everyday to document her transformation
