That just means you have cheeks. I have cheeks, too. Cheeks are good! Just think...

--When you smile, you look jolly, like Santa Claus! Just try to imagine Santa with one of those thin, gaunt faces. You can't, can you?

--When you cry, it takes longer for your tears to soak your shirt. They have that much farther to travel.

--When you turn the other cheek, other people can't miss it.

--You have a nifty place to store nuts for the winter.

Embrace the cheek!

Mine does too. However, now I notice dimples when I smile so I like it. I will make the plump face for dimples trade.

so what...when you smile some one else will smile back, and ultimately isn't that the goal.

Is this really something we're going to be bothered by?

I've been told I have chipmunk cheeks (and I do) and a round face and I used to be so self-conscious about it and always thought it looked much worse when I smiled. As a result, 98% of the pictures taken during my late teen-early college years are me not smiling, often making ridiculous "duck faces" and such. Now that I'm not self-conscious about it, I wish I was smiling in all of those pictures. And I'm sure all my friends and family who have copies of those pictures wish I was too

Embrace it! I promise you're the only one who notices.

Can you follow me around all day saying this kind of stuff? So full of win!

Just never smile. You're welcome!

Try changing the angle you are taking the picture. I hate when my mother-in-law takes pics (and she loves too) because in every one of me she takes I look fat and like I have a huge double chin (which I don't). It doesn't happen that way when others take pics of me, and I was recently informed by a professional photographer that it is because of the angle she is taking the pics (since she's about a foot shorter than me). They showed me some ways to hold my head, so that hopefully, it won't look so bad next time.
