so i used to have a healthy lean body... and the past few years school has really made me lazy and fat. i stopped excersizing this year. and i started driving, which = perfect equation for gaining weight.

i never noticed how chubby i have become becuase it seemed like i looked the same everyday. my mom started to tell me how i was gaining weight, but i looked in the mirror and i thought no, i look the same.

i knew i gained a little bit of weight, but it was when i saw a body pic of me that i finally realized that i needed to regain control of my body.
so basically , mirrors are liars in my opinion.

has this happened to anyone? i think pinning that picture to my wall would be a good motivation to start losing weight.


edit.
does anyone here have really skinny calves but thick thighs? i do.. it looks so weird.


edit again.

i feel like i look different in mirrors in different places, like in my room, in my bathroom, the rearview mirror in my car, school mirrors...... its probably the lighting , but its so frustrating because i dont really know how i look like anymore.

sometimes my eyes look big, and sometimes they look so small...

i hate taking pictures w/ flash as well....... ugh -shiver-...

[cathyy_]

nope
i know what my body looks like every time i look in the mirror
*sighs

i saw a picture of myself and i was astonished to see how much weight i had gained. in the picture i was the heaviest i had ever been in my whole life my unhealthy weight because of my poor eating habits and my lack of exercise. the picture was a wake up call to stop making excuses,and to start being more healthy.

[tinil-galia]

I didn't realise I gained weight either.
I thought my Mom was kidding when she said I'm getting fat.
Then I weigh myself and I'm like.. I gained weight :S

I mean, I look at my body on the mirror everyday, so I didn't notice the changes.
But when you look at a photo when you're thin and a photo when you're fatter, you can tell.

I gained 6 pounds since I got this new job 2 months ago T_T

I don't see any difference in the mirror. My jeans still fit fine.
It's not muscle weight for sure, since I haven't worked out for a long time, I don't have the time.
My husband said i was not fat, but he also said I looked chubbier than I used to be

I looked at my body pictures from last year, when I had the time to workout 2-3x a week,
man... my body was skinnier, toner... it's much hotter back then ;__;

Yeah I agree with the person above
I look at my body on the mirror everyday, so I didn't notice the changes.

[mz simmonz]

Yes I have skinny calves but thick thighs =(

My body looks the same in pictures as it does in the mirror but it's my face in pics that is a tell-tale sign if I gained weight or not. sigh. I def. gained about 5lbs since last year =(

[Cheri.B*]

Yeah,
When I look in the mirror, I don't see much flaws.
Whenever I take pictures, I noticed all these flaws

[justlovely12]

yep that happened to me in 7th and 8th grade. that's when ppl started bringing cameras to school and taking pics with friends and stuff. before i never payed much attention to my appearance.. i used to think that if you have nice clothes then you'll look good. haha NOT. i looked horrible in a couple pix.. that's when i started to diet.

mirrors dont lie. its just that you look in the mirror eveyday so its hard for you to notice a gradual change such as weight gain. you dont look at pics of yourself everyday so when you do its like BAM wth happened to me. *sigh*

[souljunkie]

I've lose quite a lot of weight.
And now when I look at old pictures, it kinda scares me LOL.
I didn't know I was that fat.

[crystallizedtear]

mirrors dont lie.

mirrors do lie. in the mirror, my friend's eyes look unsymmetrical...as in one eye is higher than the other. in person, face to face, her face looks perfectly fine. she's really pretty too. but her reflection looks weird.
now i understand why she's so down to earth about her looks...she's always seeing her reflection which is WRONG, doesn't even look like her

[~ BunnyliciouS ~]

^ Yeah, mirrors do lie, especially those mirrors in the clothing stores, they make people look skinnier than they really are and make all the clothes look nice on you, but when you come home and wear the clothes again in front of your own mirror, you look crap .___.

[chocopocky]

Don't cameras lie too?

While mirrors reflect your image for what you see everyday, cameras add like 10 pounds right?

[Ladyy]

I do acknowledge the fact that I have gotten fatter but I always try to deny it lol

[rufflezz]

You don't really notice the difference about your appearance if you look in the mirror everyday..
But then if you take a picture of yourself today, then compare it .. lets say, a couple month from now,
There'll be a difference o_o Especially if you exercise or gain the weight.

For me, I usually make myself exercise, since I don't want to end up being a fatty.
But these days, I've gained a couple of pounds T__T due to stress and laziness.
I want to be fit for the summer.. again ^__^;

[Antz]

i looked at pics when i was younger and omfg i never realised how FATTY i was O_O

and yeah i have skinny calves but fat thighs D:

Yep.

I looked in the mirror every single day & I'm like, "I look the same." Until I saw the pictures and I was like O___O

Don't cameras lie too?

That's what I console myself with.

For one of my classes, we had to video tape and I looked so huge! But then I was like, "its okay, the camera adds pounds.


But now I have no excuse anymore. I stopped dieting and exercising because I was so stressed out with work & school, so I kinda just stopped due to my busy schedule. But now I really need to get back up on the wagon.

[Some person]

O_O Whhhhoa yeah pictures don't lie compared to the mirror i just noticed that looking at a few resent pics.....

[xstarBURST]

i was comparing my high school pictures to now, i looked porkier in high school as to now. I think i lost a lot weight from the stress.

[sushiwhore]
