just seen myself in a photo and want to slit my wrists....

[lucylala]

just wondered if anyone else ever had this experience.

I had my photo taken for local paper last week (only a page 30 teeny tiny article) but I got dead dressed up, best hair, best make up and got changed about 18 times trying to find my slimmest outfit. Anyway, felt pretty bloody good at the photo session (which lasted 3 mins!). Someone has just emailed me the photos and I look awful, dead dead fat with a massive balloon head and just generally very unattractive. I am totally gutted and it's ruined my day, I just can't cheer up.

Showed photo hubby who laughed and said 'aww babes, that's not a good pic at all' and then was dead nice telling me I looked gorgeous in real life and how he couldn't believe how bad pic was but am still dead pissed off.

I hate photos and am sick of thinking I look good at a do and then getting photos back and then the only memory of that do being how bad I looked.

I am dieting (going to try the GI diet this week) and doing loads of exercise so nothing I can do really, just wanted to moan and get some sympathy.

Is anyone else out there as shallow as me?

Hopefully you don't really mean you feel like slitting your wrists?!

But if you are just using it as a (bad) saying then I kind of know what you mean.

I was out for a day with the kids and DH last week, felt really good he took a pic on the digital camera and i looked awful, a big lump.

But Ah well, not the end of the world is it?

I could loose weight if I really wanted to, but can't be arsed.

You can loosed weight if you feel you want to!
