It's truly amazing how much you can eat when you eat "right". I have actually been feeling stuffed and when I put the calories in to Sparkpeople I'm below by a few hundred. Never thought I'd have to tell myself to eat more!!

Well guys -DH took me out for coffee this morning. We went to a local National trust place so he could use his camera and make sure it worked ok for us going away.
I had the baby with me so he decided he would take some pics of me pushing Jess in the pram.

OMG - they were awful -

Yeah I sure wanted to cry when I saw them. I just looked like a FAT old woman I mean my face just looked huge!!!!! I was sooo upset I made him get rid of the shots!!!! All he said was - well Your getting older and turning into your mother!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I think he thought that was a compliment?????

Thing is yesterday I went to a funeral and I dressed up in my nice grey slacks and Black top with a nice grey cardy and matching coat. I had my lovely black fur hat and gloves on to match and I felt great ( Ok it was a funeral I know - but it was a friends 93 yr old mother!) After that I got an Email saying how nice I looked yesterday! ??? So why don;t I come out looking like that on Photos?????? I end up looking like a FAT heffer!

When I look in the mirror at home I like the face looking back - but when I look at her in photos she just looks a FAT

I am NOT READY TO TURN INTO MY MOTHER! - I feel sooo upset and wish DH had not taken any photos. I am dreading holiday snaps!!!

I MUST BE THIN -

Oesdog - feeling very low - and fat and bloated but probably a lot of PMT in there too! I never want to eat again!!!!!!!!!

Oesdog, you are not alone in feeling that way!

I get these compliments all the time from neighbor's and friends. "It looks like you've lost weight" "Wow, you're looking great!" "That diet is working well for you!"

But then I look at pictures from Christmas, and I refuse to post 'em for my mother-in-law on facebook! I have the arm sag, a double chin and SUPER wing hips!!!! NO WAY! No one is seeing these.

Yet, I don't know if its in my mind.... or I can just blame it on my husband because he's so bad with a camera! I tell him to get my good side! LOL

Yeah.... I'll blame it on the camera man!

Add me to the list of those that look terrible in photos

I put my jeans on this morning like they should go on. No huffing, puffing, wriggling. They just went on and the snap snapped.
So, thank you all. I would not have been so mindful of what I shoved into my mouth without you all!

Oesdog....I call this the frumpy, dumpy and grumpy look. I hate all pictures of myself. I hate the way I look, so I try to avoid photos.

I'm off to the gym soon, so I can get rid of the frumpy and dumpy and that will make grumpy leave too.

Good luck all!

3goodeggs...fantastic on the jeans things. It is so great when clothes start fitting differently. It makes you feel better than a change on the scale ever can.
