    Pictures!!! I am like WOW I really am skinny!!! When I look at myself in the mirror I still see the same as I have always seen!!

    I know what you mean. I take pictures of myself for body shots and i look thin and shapely.....but then when i look in the mirror, I look bigger.... = / or sometimes i look thin....it's so weird.

    I think it depends on the picture. Some of my pictures I think to myself..."self, you look pretty smokin in that pic". Then there are times that I see other pics and I am like "Shame on you, self, for looking like such a slob!" I am pretty hard on myself most of the time. I'm way harder on myself than others are on me. I guess I view myself in a different light than others so every flaw sticks out that they don't ever even see.

    I think I look pretty cool until I see a picture of myself... then I usually cringe and feel awful.

    Except this current profile picture. The lighting must've been just right or something (and you can't see my face)

    Sometimes good, sometimes bad ,,, it depends on the mood and if I am actually feeling confident. Otherwise I think I look horrendous 24/7, 365 .....

    Pictures... I can suck it in & strategically pose to make myself look slimmer or curvier in certain areas. Or hold the camera at an angle that hides things I don't like about my appearance. I'm sure in person I can be caught with my belly sticking out and my butt not tensed up to look round lol. Offguard photos tend to show stupid faces I make or can make me look fat if I'm sitting a certain way.

    But I've seen some nice offguard photos, so what do I know... My mom actually thinks pictures don't do me justice.
