We’ve all seen the posts: You’re scrolling through your feed and there’s that one “friend” who practically lives at the local gym. They started lifting weights to get healthy and wound up taking it to a whole new level. All of a sudden their page is plastered with meal-prep photos and locker room selfies. Then before you know it, they’re doused in a spray tan and competing in body builder competitions.
Jolene Jones was that girl.
As she writes in an honest Facebook post, her transformation is unlike most:
“Body builder to body lover. This isn’t your typical transformation photo.”

After years of being so focused on molding her body, Jolene finally made the decision to be in charge of her life.
“I went from being controlled by my grueling gym regimen and weighing chicken and having protein shakes in my purse to fully enjoying a social life.”
To clarify, she didn’t just throw in the towel and decide to be unhealthy. She decided to prioritize what means the most to her. Beauty fades, but the memories we make last forever.
