NSV - My round face

I get an odd sense of motivation out of body-related things that I cannot change, and weren't the fault of my being overweight.

Last week, it was my thighs. This week, it's my face.

I have a round face. I thought my face was round because of my weight, but after a 24-pound loss (which really shows on a 5'1'' frame), my face has hardly changed.

I have lost a lot off my chin, but my cheeks are still round.

I will have to post a recent picture to see if you guys see a difference or not. My profile picture is from when I was about 170-ish (I'm 156 now).

Edit: Well, now that I compare the pictures, I do see a bit of a difference. It doesn't seem that way in the mirror, lol.

    There is a huge difference, even your eyes look thinner. You look much younger.

    Why, thank you. I think that's really interesting because I was actually 22 in the before picture, and I'm 25 now, lol.

    I definitely see a difference! It really does look like you've lost weight all around your whole face. Very interesting. My husband has huge chipmunk cheeks. I suspect those will never completely go away for him, much to his chagrin. :tongue:

    D'awww. xD I don't mind as much have puffy cheeks because I don't mind looking adorable, lol. It's different for a guy.

    Definitely see a difference. Keep up the good work. As previously stated you do look younger and livelier (never ever had the need to use this word before but it works here).

    I think there is a big difference! You look great- be glad you have 'full' cheeks, as you get older they will keep you looking young! I used to work in cosmetics for a very long time and I know woman who pay to have your youthful face shape.

    I wish you knew how much I appreciated your comment. o: I have never been the biggest fan of my face. I always desired a sharper, more vertical jawline, but I'm learning how to appreciate my own shape and how it makes me look "cuter" (rather than having a more mature look) which would indeed be more youthful.

    Yep, definite difference. And you do, indeed, look younger in the second photo. Great job!
