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!!

I never really wondered that, but I'm attaching before and afters of my face! Hope it brings you some peace of mind!

guamvixen you look like a totally different person

I think its pretty safe to say you will look better as you get thinner as long as you dont become too skinny and emaciated

guamvixen - you look amazing! WTG on your loss!! So inspiring!

Its not something that I am worried about, just one of those random thoughts that goes through my mind sometimes.

Does anyone else have any random worries about your weight loss results??

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 think i look the same

Ive never met a person that lost weight the healthy way and didnt lose to much and wasnt better looking!

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 absolutly something that I'm afraid of!

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).
