I have a long, skinny face. I LOVE my "fat face" because it looks normal. I have some meat on it, it's rounder, it's lmore proportioned. My biggest fear with losing weight is that I will get my skinny face back, which I don't think is as attractive.
The last time I lost weight even my close friends were saying that they wished I could keep my fat face and my skinny body. :(
Anyone else love their fat face?

    It's funny my husband, who is also loosing has a very different fat face and skinny face. People noticed immediately when he started loosing weight. Because I have a wide jaw, my face doesn't change that much, my neck, yes, but my face is pretty much the same as it was 80 pounds ago. I guess that is a blessing.

    I liked my fat but I like that my features are more prominent now. My skin looks better.

    My face is more square I think... I love that it's fuller and better filled out... My hubby used to tell me I'll have Paula Dean's face, no wrinkles, if I keep the fat on my face... He meant it in a nice way. I haven't lost as much on my face as last time I lost weight, and I'm thankful for that! I love my face and I hope it stays filled out nicely!

    When i lost a lot of weight a few years ago I got down to 195 and my face began to look a little gaunt, I liked the cheekbones and lack of double chin but I wanted to keep the plumpness in my cheeks which made me look young. I remember saying I wanted to keep my face, but drop another 15 pounds. It doesnt work that way!!

    I'll be happy to get to that weight again and stay there.

    My fat face was disgusting, so round & puffy, the slimmer I get the better my skin & the more pronounced my cheekbones & jaw become. I look younger now than I did 5 years ago.

    One thing that I have done as the weight has come off is to change my hair style to suit the new slimmer face structure. My fat face hair style just doesn't suit my thin face.

    I didn't love my fat face, but I did like having my super pointy chin less pronounced.

    sorry, but no, i dn't love my fat face. It's the worst bit about me, i don't think i'd ever be able to look 'gaunt' as i've always had chubby cheeks. It doesn't matter if I've taken a nice photo and i look slim everywhere else, if my face has chins rolling off it, it's ruined. This is my goal, to get my cheekbones back!!

    Nope, I don't love my fat face. My cheeks are big and my eyes are mere slits when I grin, which is often. I miss my slender face where, though still healthy and glowing, I could at least see where my cheekbones were. Booo.

    OP, I bet your thin face looks fine - maybe you just aren't used to it yet!

    Uhh - hated my fat face, it was all red and puffy. The change in diet, and increased water intake took care of the redness and I have rediscovered my cheek bones. Although I may have traded this in for the odd wrinkle, I am happy with the trade off.
