Reverse Body Dysmorphia....?

[JennyOwens]

Hi ladies

I have been thinking about posting something on here for ages - I just gotta know if it happens to other women too....

I've heard of body dysmorphia when people think they are bigger/fatter than they really are but I think I have it in reverse! I feel ok and when I look in the mirror I see a curvy chick who doesn't look too bad.... but THEN I see photos of myself and am shocked at the huge fat blob I see! I look bloated and have about a million chins!

Does anyone else get this? Am I just really un-photogenic?! Its horrid because I go out feeling great and confident then I get home and download the photos and feel a bit embarassed that I went out looking like that...

Oh poo!

Jenny

well im the other way round hun tbh i think im fat no matter what....the only thing i can suggest doing is finding out how much u weigh and what ur bmi is. xx

i'm a bit like that! but i found it really hard to accept i was pregnant again and gaining weight cos of that iykwim? like, i thought i didnt look too bad, but was gaining size wise (wasnt putting on weight), but i think cos people didnt know i was pregnant i just looked fat, and when i looked at pics i was like, omg so fat...but i knew it wasnt really fat. if that makes any sense what so ever!! plus the camera adds pounds xxxx
