Irritating fat face.

    I've lost about 30 lbs this year, going from 182 to 152 lbs. I'm 5'11 (ish), so my BMI is in the normal range. But I still have obnoxiously chubby cheeks and weird play-doh face, and am starting to wonder if I just drew the short straw on the looks department or should I keep at dieting.

    I've accepted that I'm not particularly handsome, nor ever will be, but I had hoped my features would grow more gaunt as I lost weight. Looking like a child at the age of twenty-two has grown a bit tiresome. Should I keep losing weight, build muscle, or just get used to it?

    Here's a photo I took, the first one I've taken of myself in years. Let's see if it shows up...

    You have a small face, you can tell you have lost weight. I'm the same way- my face doesnt get TO chubby when I gain- I show proof since I'm at my heaviest right now- but its chubby-ish. I can see it and I know thats the main difference in me now and me then. But you look fine. I agree with EVERYONE ELSE it will thin as you age- I can see a strong jaw line- which is a GREAT thing on guys- and when you get a little older- you will be very pleased with the outcome :)

    Thank you for posting this! I always complain that I have "fat face syndrome", because even when I was at my lowest weight I still had big cheeks and a round face. Sometimes it still bothers me, but I've gotten used to it and I look at the positive side. I am 25 and still get mistaken for someone in high school. So I know that hopefully these chubby cheeks will keep me looking young! And honestly your face looks good to me :)

    You look fine man. To fine tune your looks though, lift heavy weights. Get a big upperback and neck. Try growing out your hair too. Both of these combined should even up your features. You'll be a lady (or dude) killer in no time. Go get 'em.

    I think you look nice. Be happy that you have a "baby face". You'll be thankful for it one day when you're older. My mom still has a "baby face" (well... not as much as she used to... but, still young looking). She's very thankful for her's.

    Breathe. Relax. You're doing great with the weight loss. Maybe try building some muscle. Either way... I think you look very nice.
