I feel pictures are so weird! In some pictures, you look super fit, and in some, you look like you could use some work. It makes it really hard to decide if you are making progress or not.
Does anyone else face this problem?

    I agree, it has a lot to do with the clothes I'm wearing or the angle etc. That said, I hate taking pictures. I always feel huge in every single one.

    Yes. My husband is on some sort of picture-taking craze, but jeez, I hate the way I look in pictures. Especially HIS pictures, because for reasons unknown, he is always taking them from a low angle. Even Gisele would have 4 chins the way he takes them.

    Not so much with photos, but I find that a lot with certain outfits or certain mirrors.

    I have a mirror in my bedroom that is my go-to mirror for taking selfies. There's something about it, I just feel like I look better in that mirror than any other mirror.

    So true about different mirrors. I have one mirror that I avoid and keep meaning to throw out because it is unflattering.

    As far as pictures go, I'm weird with them. Sometimes I don't even "recognize" myself, (I do, but I look different than I do in my head or mirrors).

    I agree with you that you can have more and less flattering pictures taken, for sure.
