  • 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???

  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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.
  • I untag shamelessly. I'd rather die than admit I look like some of the unflattering photos.
  • I also untag myself no problem lol
    I think that angle is just weird too. You look great!
  • 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 .
  • 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.
  • Are you a into dancing or is that just from working out?

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

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