Not sure if it will post a FB pic.
This was a few months before I joined before MFP. I detest this pic with the fire of a thousand suns.
Glad I posted it though. I see progress.
I am curious as to why? I see someone who is happy and smiling and beautiful, and full of joy. It's a beautiful pic!
OP - You are a beautiful person. Full of kindness and love. Nothing is more important than that and you have shown it in all your responses today.0 -
bump, love this thread. xoxo brave humans!0

^^ thanks! :blushing: I see a lot of orange, and an unhappy person. :blushing:
I have a serious case of profile envy... You have a perfect nose!
I have my grandma's nose, bumpy and big nostrils... I always turn my face to minimize it. I cannot stand my side shots... which leads me to this:
That's a great nose! I've always felt like mine is too big for my face. And I have a scar going right across it so it really stands out when I don't wear makeup.
Yeah, besides, look what happened to Jennifer Grey. Didn't like her nose -> got rid of it -> Jennifer who?
I don't see anything wrong with your nose at all. And you wouldn't look like YOU without it.0 -
This is a fantastic thread! Such respect for all the posters........ beautiful! We are definitely our own worst critics. You guys are all amazing!

Actually - everyone here is wonderful and kind. Haven't seen an uplifting post like this in ages. Thank you all!0

Wow, you guys are all inspirational. I am so self-conscious I don't ever let anyone take my picture, unless I'm hidden behind someone else! I had one "face shot" as my initial profile pic on here and I made sure it was the blurriest one I could find. Will have to take a pic to post once I get home.
we'll be waiting to love on you when you do!!0 -
I know its silly, but I rarely post pictures where I am wearing no makeup. Both of these pictures show me with no makeup. I prefer to post all dolled up shots, though...
darlin.. you are stunning in your before and after pictures
without makeup - you have a classic beauty.
sometimes makeup hides the purity of features, and you have beautiful features!!0 -

and it holds up my sunglasses!!0 -
I have a cyst on my hip that I rarely allow out in photos... there it is... and yes... *kitten* dimples.
My three year old has more cellulite than that.0 -
This is a bikini I bought from H&M in the sizes I would wear in normal clothes, I put it on and cried, but kept it and this made me join MFP. I WILL fit in it without lumps and bumps one day0 -
Here goes. I have very few pics of me with my daughter. Half the time I wouldn't let people take pics if I wasn't wearing makeup. If pics were taken and I looked bad, many times I deleted them. :sad: SO much regret. I can't undo it now but I treasure these pics even if I hate the way I look in them.
No makeup, grimy hair pulled back.
Huge arms and double chin, hair pulled away making face look even fatter.
Edited: I give up. I've resized down to nothing and they're still huge...
when I saw them , they were super tiny and I couldn't see much. I think once you post with that link, your cache remembers the original image. if you are using photobucket, save as a new image (new url) and replace the url entirely. That is what works best for me.
thank you so much for trying! so sorry it was so frustrating a venture!
Oh, that makes sense. Trying again with pics above.
Seriously? You look lovely.0 -

you are a swetheart. Thank you! I can't post the real charmers, though, so no makeup was the best I could do for this thread. Apparently, my stage bikini is too small for pictures that get me in trouble for posting or I would have shown some before and very not glamorous thigh/backside shots...0 -
I once cut my hair off. This one was after four months of letting it grow. This picture reminds me of a time when I was unhappy. I also never have photos without makeup. Makeup is my security blanket. I feel like I look so old and so tired in this photo.
I see a gorgeous chin line, a perfect little nose, great eyebrows and hair I would kill to have. You don't even have to style it to get it to look like that do you? Just run your finger through it I bet?0 -
I briefly posted my nasty belly pic for you all as my main pic (this will be short and sweet, so if its gone, sorry)
I hate my belly button as it was stretched out after surgery - and will soon be stretched out for surgery again. Meaning I will also not be able to work out for a while either. Sigh.
Oh well... I despise my thighs even more, but one day... ONE DAY may they look like the_dizzle's...
You all are beautiful!!!!!!0 -
Bumping so I can post a pic when I get home later!0

I see that the bikini bottom is unflattering. Anybody can buy an unflattering bikini bottom.0 -
I have a cyst in the exact same spot on my left hip as well!0

I have struggled a long time with self esteem issues...
Common thoughts of mine:
- If you really knew me... you wouldn't love me.
- If you could see me in person... you wouldn't be so impressed
- I'm a let down when you actually get to know / meet / see me
I could have written this! I really admire your bravery!! I'm not there yet, but I'm working on me...a little bit every day. xo0 -

Haha! Thanks for the compliments! To get my hair to look like this I co-washed, plopped, gelled, and blow dried. If I didn't, it curled and stuck straight up. It's shoulder length now, blonde, and controlled.0 -

You have a great body! That swimsuit wouldn't fit anyone well, and H&M is horrible with sizes (they also sometimes make mistakes with the labels).0
