I hate pictures now that I've gained all this weight back. Loved them before...now I've mastered the art of strategically hiding behind other people!

I STILL hate pictures, even after losing this weight. If someone pulls out a camera, I'm outta there. I don't WANT to see what I look like.

Man...doesn't everyone hate pictures? Fat, thin, short, tall, etc etc? Ive never known one person who liked getting their picture taken. I have a digital that i bought for myself, so i take about 50 pics before i find a decent one. Everyone thinks they look bad in pics. Some of them are right, some of them are wrong. Personally, i am the LEAST photogenic person ever. I look in the mirror, and its totally different from what i see on the camera screen. I doubt if ill like pictures even when i reach my goal, just because its so distorted, trying to put a 3-dimensional object on a 2-dimensional screen. (At least, thats what i keep telling myself )

Sounds like me. I can only find 3 pictures that really show me at my highest weight. I used to put my hand in front of my face or turn away from cameras/video cameras. We did have a video that a friend took where several times he tried getting me in the picture and I was keeping my hand in front of my face and chewing him out. LOL Now I have no problem with getting in the picture. The camera seems to add weight anyway. Which makes it worse when you're already overweight.
