    Yes. Some people are more photogenic than others. I suspect that you're bigger than what you perceive in the mirror, and smaller than what you see on film. I have the same problem. My husband assures me when I show him a horrendous picture that I don't actually look that big. Though many days I question his judgement...

    Yep that and in my head I still look 20 something instead of almost 40 that I am.

    Mirrors are the problem. I swear my home mirrors make me look like 5-10 lbs smaller than what I really am. Then when I see photos of myself I get upset.

    Isn't that weird? When I see a pic of myself I think UGH I look old and fat. When I look at myself in the mirror, I don't look so bad.

    Pictures are one of my main weight loss motivations.
