Facebook/MySpace

I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but I went out with some friends y'day, people were taking photos, but it was a good night - THEN, woke up this morning to see them plastered all over Facebook, with myself looking HUUUUUUUGE.

Just keep telling myself at least Ill have comparisms when I do reach my goal and it can't get any worse!!!

Ugh I feel your pain, especially when I first started eating healthy, I hated seeing the "fat pics" but fun to look back on now.  But I still don't like pics that make me look bigger- I have a fuller face and sometimes pictures just aren't too flattering.  But yes it's definitely a good motivator by tracking your progress.

The same thing happens to me. I always end up wondering why in the world I wore that outfit if I look that big in it.

But if I compare those pictures to the ones of me in 2006 (when I was even heavier), I can see that I've still come a long way.

I definitely feel your pain.  I can always see my results way quicker than the rest of the world, so when I see pics that are not so flattering it takes me down a notch and reminds me of how far I still have to go.

 Then I click "remove tag" and go work out.

I feel your pain as well. The pictures of me that ended up on MySpace from New Years are what really pushed me over the edge to get motivated to change. They absolutely repulse me! I printed a bunch out to hang on the wall of my apartment as a reminder to never get this heavy again!

theflosquito - i like your "remove tag" idea!

 Y'know what they say-the camera adds ten pounds.  :P

I remember about a year ago, my friend took a video of me playingthe piano.  I looked back at it and was horrorfied-my fat arms were jiggling, my double chin was swallowing my neck, my face looked like a jumbo pie tin, my legs were flopping over the seat like mini-waterfalls, and my stomach was hanging out of my pants in the infamous "muffin top", with my undersized shirt barely able to cover its massive bulk.

And all I can think is : I can't believe I used to be that FAT.

Yeah I totally know what you are talking about. It is so bad that when I take pictures with my family and stuff and my mom takes them to work and shows them to people I am beyond humilated. I yell at her and tell her not to show anyone pictures of me again. I notice if i don't smile with teeth my face looks thinner..so i am usually a smirker when it comes to pics. it is a horrifying thing to see fat pics of yourself on myspace.

oh man. I'm pretty sure everyone on facebook can feel this pain. I routinely go through my pictures and untag the less...favorable ones. obsessive yes but the feeling of untagging old fat pictures is almost as much relief as losing pounds =)

I have those :)

 I keep mine tagged because even though I may not look great, they're still my memories.  One day I'll be able to tag myself and think "Hey, compare this to your old picture - look how awesome you look!"

I just untag all the ones I don't like.

I untag 95% of my photos, haa.
