    Are you saying that pictures add 10 pounds? I think that is just life.

    No, it is hard to describe. Even my friends agree that for some reason my camera makes me look short and fat. I am using my cell phone which may not be the best idea.

    Do other people look distorted in the pictures as well? Take pictures of others and see how they look!

    You should use a better camera in a well lit area. And you need a good angle usually from above makes you look thinner that's why all those selfie pics are people looking up at the camera. If you're looking down at it you're going to turn out bigger that's just how the camera works. There are angles your body looks better in so you can just try out different poses

    I agree with checking pics of others - my cell phone camera stinks! EVERYONE looks wide and short...including my kids and even my dog...LOL. But I have a stock cell phone....just guessing the camera is cheap. My digital camera takes much nicer photos - better color and not as grainy, too.

    I know the feeling but its likely to be your choice of camera angles, lighting, camera type and if you're photogenic or not
