Picture :(

My Facebook profile pic (and my profile pic on here as well) are from 3 years ago. It's mortifying to see my recent pictures, and even though I've committed to it, I hate uploading my videos to youtube because all I can see is how awful I think I look. It's so weird - I can look in the mirror and think that I look relatively decent, but as soon as a camera goes on me, I'm horrified with the image that reflects back. I agree with some of the above sentiments - I never really realize how big I have gotten until I see photographic evidence. Sigh...

I can't wait to update my danged facebook though, lol. I'm sure my friends and family are going to be sooo annoyed.

I still have pictures on Facebook that I am tagged in and look absolutely disgusting. The thing is, that was me then and I was with the people I loved, so it couldn't all be terrible.

I seem to have had this false sense of size, thinking I looked so much better than I did! I still have 60lbs to go til I'm where I want to be, but I am so much more comftorable in my body now!

I agree with what you are saying. When those pictures were taken I thought I look good. But now I go back and see those pics and I think how come nobody told me I needed to loose weight. Idk if it was high selfsteem but I always thought I looked good in pics. ( The ones that I took of myself I should say)

I soooo agree with you guys!

I don't think I realize how fat I really am. There are days when I actually feel pretty and sexy!!! I put something tasteful on, nice hair and make-up, and I feel allright. Then someone takes a picture of me, and I can't believe what I see. I see myself in the mirror totally different from what I see on a picture! It is so sad. Or when I see somebody's picture who has the same parameters then myself (weight, height...), and clearly she is fat, I see her obese, but I feel I am "smaller" then her. When in reality I am the same...

Oh, Facebook, long time ago I have disabled the function of anybody being able to tag me on anything!!! lol And if for some reason they would still successfully tag me, my account is set to "only me" who can view my tags! That's how much I hate to be the size I am!!!!!

OMG such a relief to know I am not the only one that didn't see how fat I am/was ...I would look in the mirror and see a beautiful person !

I think we have all been through that. The funny thing is I never truly realized how big I was at the time. Only recently after losing significant weight have I noticed the difference, and started liking how I look in some pictures. you will get there. Don't dwell on the past... Remember you are taking control of yourself and will be a healthier, smaller you very soon.

I have always loved taking pics but now more that ever...
