Once again making news is Alana Thompson, also known as Honey Boo Boo, the adorable pageant queen who won America’s heart on “Toddlers & Tiaras” and “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.” This time, it’s for her amazing weight loss journey rather than her hilarious one-liners or crazy family antics.
The now-teenaged Alana Thompson has had a remarkable metamorphosis that has astounded both admirers and detractors. Let’s go into more of Honey Boo Boo‘s motivational weight loss journey and her gorgeous face reveal.
Honey Boo Boo’s Weight Loss Journey
Alana was used to the limelight from her early years as a beauty pageant contestant and as a reality TV celebrity as she got older. But Alana felt it was time for a shift when she became a teenager. No longer a child star, she started down a path of a healthier lifestyle, and the outcomes are pretty impressive.
Alana didn’t have an easy road to change. Sources say she battled with her weight for years, coming under public and media scrutiny. Her family‘s encouragement and focused attitude helped her to start a weight-loss quest that would transform her life.
Alana wanted to change her lifestyle, not only lose weight. She began by undergoing weight loss surgery. The star has said in the past that losing weight was very difficult for her as she lacked motivation.
Alana underwent a suture sculpt endoscopic sleeve. The pricey surgery (which can cost over $14,000) has been proven to help patients get to a healthy weight. The surgery works by reducing the size of one’s gastric reservoir, and it is usually only recommended for obese patients.
Everyone had been eager for Alana to reveal her new look. And while she allegedly isn’t at her goal weight yet, it’s very clear that she has lost quite a bit of weight. The once chubby-cheeked young actress now had a healthier, thinner body, and her confidence is very much evident.
Alana Thompson Is a Role Model For Teens Dealing With Weight Problems
Alana allegedly had the procedure done a few years ago. This type of weight loss surgery usually takes some time to take effect.
Along with motivating her followers, Alana’s makeover has established her as a role model for young teens dealing with weight problems. Her experience is proof that positive thinking, support, and endurance have great power when it comes to taking control of one’s health. Alana’s story serves as a reminder that anybody can accomplish their goals with diligence.
Though Alana has come a long way in her weight loss quest, she is aware that leading a healthy lifestyle is a lifetime commitment. She has not revealed what her diet currently looks like, but we can imagine she eats more vegetables and fruit and not as much “go-go juice” as she once enjoyed. Good job, Alana!
