OMG Unflattering picture!!!
 
The next time you think you have big calves. Think of me, and feel better about yourself!!!!!

My mom assures me it doesn't look like a tree trunk in real life... but holy jeeze!!! I think the camera added all 10 lbs to one leg!!!

Do you have any horrifically unflattering pictures floating around? I hate it when people tag me on Facebook and I'm afraid to offend them by untagging myself! At least I'm laughing, not crying, right??? :dizzy:

oh geez..i hate the look of a calf when the back part of it is pushed to the side(s). i notice this on myself sometimes if i'm resting my legs on something or if i'm sitting crossed like you. i don't know if it can be avoided, but it happens to all of us!!

That looks like some might fine muscle in that leg!

it's just an unflattering angle then your other knee is pushing on your leg. No biggie, mine would look the same!!

It's just the angle :) I notice that I'm sitting like that sometimes and think 'AHHHHHHHHHHHH' but even my thin friends look bigger when they sit like that.

Pretty much what they said. I actually have big calves without my leg pushing it to the side. But they're muscle I hate it I can't even fit into cute boots that have to go over my calves anymore. :mad:

I've never seen anyone look tiny in that angle! But on the plus side, the rest of you looks good, which is great-its not even a posing sort of pic. Pics that are taken of me when i am unprepared ACCCCKKK :dizzy:

Most of my pictures are unflattering. I believe that am just deeply not photogenic. I'm pretty sure it's innate.

Either that or everyone (including me) who takes pics of me are vastly untalented photographers. Which seems unlikely. ;)

Funny. Mine does the same thing when resting on something else. To your question, yeah, every picture from before I lost weight was unflattering. Sad, but true.

krampus 05-01-2012 11:05 AM

I untag shamelessly. I'd rather die than admit I look like some of the unflattering photos.

Ash2007 05-01-2012 12:51 PM

I also untag myself no problem lol
I think that angle is just weird too. You look great! :)

ValRock 05-01-2012 04:21 PM

Haha, thanks guys! I'm not sure what I'm doing with my face, either!

I'm trying to get over caring what I look like in every.single.photo. Those photos are not me. I figured posting it here would do that real quick.

Thank you for the nice comments. You are all so kind :).

LandonsBaby 05-01-2012 05:03 PM

I untag and I have my account set up so my friends can't see what other people post (unless they are friends too of course). I hate that people just post whatever they feel like posting of me on facebook. It's so rude. I don't post picture of people unless it's a good photo and even then I edit and photoshop so they look their best. Anyway...sopabox. Sorry.

And yeah, that's an odd angle. No need to worry about it.

Oh no, I'm not coordinated enough to dance!

I work out (weight lift, HIIT) like a beast, but I just have huge calves ;).
