    Sry to hear you're bummed

    Don't let one picture phase you! I have relatively skinny arms but at the wrong angle they look HUGE in some photos. Not sure why lol

    I'm assuming you're in this for the long-term and whether you just had a day where you look a little puffy or it was just a bad angle ... a picture is nothing to fret over
    Just stay the course and focus on your success
