I thought the camera was supposed to add 10 pounds? The reflection in the mirror looking back at me seems much larger than the version of me that I see in photos. When I look at photos, I see myself as being thin enough, not too thin, still a little bit curvy, with a good shape. When I look in the mirror, I look slightly chubby and like I could stand to lose another 15 pounds. It is very strange that I could see myself so differently. Before I lost weight, I always felt I looked fatter in photos, now it is the opposite. I wonder which image is true.
When I took my shorts off last night, I was suprised to see the tag said size 8. They were so loose that I was sure that they were a size 10. I remember very clearly packing these exact shorts away a year or so ago. I picked them up, marveled at how seemingly tiny they were, thought I will never fit into these again, and put them in a box for Goodwill. The box never made it out of my basement, and most of the clothes that I thought I would never fit into again are now too baggy on me. When I took them off, I held them up, and they didn't seem tiny anymore. The mind plays such tricks.
Ive had these exact same experiences. Currently in a size 8 pair of pants that 2 years ago I was elated to even fit into. Now they are way too big and look huge!
ReplyDeleteAnd I swear my face is still chubby in pics when I know thats impossible bc thats where the weight came off of first. Crazy!
