Does anyone ever wonder if they won't be as pretty when the weight comes off?
I've always had "such a pretty face" lately I've been wondering if I'll still have my pretty face when I'm skinny. How bad would that suck to lose 50 or 100 pounds and then realize "Wow, I was prettier when I was chunky!"
I think I am getting prettier. I think all the "pretty face" girls will. Our eyes will take up more of our face, a trait proven to be considered beautiful, our lips and chins will stand out more, we can do WAY more with our hair and make-up. I say think positively about this change. We are opening doors here!!
Yes, I'm actually surprisingly happy with my body shape, and I have been at 40 pounds lighter than this too. I don't want to lose this shape in the process. I'm curvy and love it, and I was curvy at a healthy weight in my past. So I think that's just how I was made, and am happy about it, but then I have this "What if this time it changes?" fear. I just want a smaller version of the me I already am!
I had that gaunt look that strikes a lot of people who lose a lot of weight. I don't think it's being too thin, but because of the skin elasticity at that point. Even though I'm heavier than I was 5 years ago by about 10-15lbs I've been pleased with how my face adjusted. I was much more worried about my stomach than anything else, with good reason.
The only odd thing is that I have a crooked smile! It's the weirdest thing! I've had to change how I smile so that it's straight. Didn't have an off smile when I was fat.
this is something I worry about and something I let sabotage me sometimes...When my cheeks are thinner, my nose looks really big to me. Losing weight to be happy, healthy and comfortable in my skin is more important than my face though, so I have to just keep reminding myself of that sometimes
That thought has crossed my mind. I am however really excited about looking older lol (I know I will regret saying that one day). I am 21 and feel like I look about 16 cos of my "cute" face.
I'm also looking forward to being more than a pretty face
I am actually worried about looking older! It's kind of nice that as all my friends get older, I will still get carded lol. I have a feeling I will always have a babyface because my face is just naturally round.
I also think I have this built-in idea that I will lose weight and suddenly become this totally sought-after hottie. Like losing weight will solve all my appearance problems(acne? frizzy hair?GONE).
Do you ever wonder?
