This is a bit of a light hearted post.. but I look in a full length mirror and I'm like - ok this looks ok.

I look at my face in the mirror and it looks alright.

Then I see myself in photos and I look like a fat monster.

What's that all about ?

Yep. I started my weightloss in September (I kena I've tried before but now giving it a proper try) cause I looked at my summer pics and couldn't find any of me that I liked enough to post on Instagram. I looked like a ficking whale next to my friends.

Zoom is the same for me.

Mirror view is ok. Zoom view = short, fat troll

I feel the same and I'm not big really, I think it's just bad angles

Me too! I would be much happier with my looks/weight if no one ever took pictures.

I hate it when people take pics ! Hate it

I'm the exact same.
In the mirror I look fairly slim and toned ( I do yoga nearly every day),
Hair looks ok.
Then in photos I look like a melting candle. 😭

Mounjaro? That's what I did!

Haha I am actually on that already, it's a long story but I'm still on a low dose. I've lost some weight but still look like a monster in pics haha
