I'm on a roll...........

Do you see pictures of yourself just taken (digital cams are great huh?) and say....HOLY HELL is that really what I look like?

So tired of it, am I nuts? I feel so much smaller than I really am....denial. Yuk.

    Remember the camera adds a few pounds. What matters is how you feel about yourself. You should feel great!

    I used to feel like that all the time. I stopped letting anyone take pics of me because of it. I'm slowly getting more comfortable with pictures again. Usually when I see a pic now - I think "WHOA is that really me? I look better than I thought!".

    I feel everything but great. I feel horrible. I look at myself in pictures and I wanna throw up! I need to figure out how to get over it and use the pics as motivation...still working on it, but emotionally I can't handle this **** sometimes.
