What happened to my face?

Hi guys,


Anyone ever get down to their goal weight only to find they hate how their face looks?
My chin gets uber pointy and I find myself missing the roundness.
I don't know.
I wish I could keep my cabbage patch face and my unearthed hip bones.

  • Actually, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this! I've found that my face looks much longer when I lose weight, and it's taking some getting used to. When I look in the mirror it's like it's someone else! I imagine in time I'll get over the shock of how I look, but I completely understand where you're coming from. I suppose we just got used to how we looked before!
  • Long!
    That is the perfect word to describe it.

    I would sometimes surprise myself when I would see myself in the mirror and not be tubby. But then I got used to it and want to make out with myself again.

    I used to laugh that I wasn't sure if my body was shrinking or my head was growing!

    You'll get used to it. Don't sweat it!

    Hopefuly I can get back to that point again.
    Do you take yourself to dinner first or do you just go in for the kill?
    :wink:
  • I know what you mean ... I love the way my fat pumps out my wrinkles. I always start to look my age when I lose weight.

    And how many times do people start telling you you look sick ... or ask if you're tired?

    Well it turns out I'm my own type so basically all I need to do is make eye contact with me and I'm putty in my hands.
    For anyone else, dinner is a prerequisite.

    I think pointy chins are cute, but I'm biased because I found mine again.

    Also losing weight makes your eyes look HUGE and everyone likes big eyes. It's instinct hardwired in.

    OMG I don't need my eyes to get any bigger .... and I think it's only babies that are attracted to big eyes ..... and emus *LOL*

    Look into which type of hair style will be the most flattering for your new face shape. You may also want to experiment with the way you have been putting on your makeup. Perhaps try contouring, highlighter or some bronzer.
