To be horrified how much of a fat monster I look in pics

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 ?

Same. Except in Teams, we don't use Zoom. I look fine and then I get in the team's camera and I look like the trash heap from Fraggle Rock.

I use a ring light on calls these days, does help me look less fraggle adjacent...

I recently saw some photos of me at my fattest. I look like a little round dough ball.

I have this, I find it shocking, but I notice no one else looks weirdly big in pics so it’s clearly I’m really fat and don’t know how bad it is.

I just did a passport photo today, I looked like a deformed potato. What the heck? 😂

Now look at photo of yourself from ten years ago which you hated at the time and...

"Bloody hell, I was gorgeous!"

I cringe at every photo of me...not so much looking like I've been scooped up and dolloped into my dress but the having aged about 30 years in the last few

It’s just angles. There’s some pictures of me and some others standing on a low wall thingy at a friend’s BBQ. In the first one, I’m on the end and I look short and dumpy (I’m only a size 6) friends teenage daughter is in the middle and looks long and lithe (which she is!). In the second picture, we’ve swapped places for some reason and looks! In reality, we’re similar sizes but she is much taller than me with much longer legs.
