Are you shocked when you look at a photo of yourself?

Question

i know i am fat but i dont realize how really overweight i am until i see a photograph of myself. On the inside i dont feel like my pictures show me to be.

Answer 1

There are few pictures of myself that I don't actually like looking at.

However, when I take the pictures myself and I know what face I'm going to make, what pose I'm going to do etc., I usually like what I see.

P.S. Confidence starts on the inside. If YOU like yourself and feel healthy and beautiful, then who cares what a bunch of digital colored angles show you to be? Not everyone looks perfect infront of a camera ALL of the time-just focus on being more confident in who you are ALREADY, and that, above everything else, will never fail to shine in any photograph. :) Stay beautiful hun. <3

Answer 2

Yep. My issue isn't my weight- its my face. I look so different in pictures than in real life. I hate it- I'm completely unphotogenic.

Answer 3

That's how I used to feel in elementary school, but then I lost a lot of weight because I was tired of being fat. And I just don't think my pictures really look like me.

Answer 4

yeah i know how you feel i dont feel fat or look fat and everyone says im not but in some pictures i just look huge

im a size 10 btw

Answer 5

i feel the same way!! i feel like i look really well in a n outfit or whatever at first and they when i look into a mirror...or worse a car door i see mysel as being fat, and ok i know the car makes you look like 3 times bigger then you really are but i then get all paranoid!! but yeah i try not to think about it too much!!

Answer 6

Not really, no. Sometimes I look at a pic of myself and say "uhg, thats horrible." But other times i see a pic of myself and say 'd**n, I look hot."

It all depends, really
