Had a girly party at my mums and shocked over a photo that was taken

It's hard, jugsjugs, when you feel 25 on the inside but you don't look it on the outside. Imagine my problem at 55! I look ancient in pictures but then friends and family tell me how great I look "for your age". Keep in mind that the camera adds pounds, too...some cameras more than others.

You poor kid! I would start now and get on a healthy diet and exercise how ever you can. Don't weight yourself all the time. Once a week or so is enough. And drink lots of water! Very important. You should take of this now. Times a wastin'! I believe in fate and this pic thing happened for a reason.

It can be quite shocking to see photos of ourselves when we are not at our optimal best can't it. I hate looking at photos of myself at parties late at night when I am tired. I was shocked recently going back over photos from 6 years ago as I had no idea that I had gotten so fat. I knew that I was heavier then, but I did not recognise myself at first! I have been doing an awesome exercise program lately at home called P90X. It is not easy but the results are happening quite quickly. I lam loving doing it every day!

Hi Jugs, So you better watched out your diet and if tou can do soem exercise it will help too. extra weight is not welcome anymore. no way that we will be accommdating them in our lives. stay light, healthy and happy!

Do you mean you are not as thin as girls like your daughter? Mmm...always it's difficult for people to keep their stature when getting older. But if you are suffering from high blood pressure and high chlorestrol, I think you need to adjust your diet and take more exercise.

You should not let it get to you... It is some other dumb person just trying to mess with you... i wouldnt pay attention to it

There is nothing like a dose of reality to remind us who we really are. I got one of those in the same manner, a picture at a party. One of those little lessons to help us mind our ways

a couple of years ago i was at least a stone bigger than i am now,i knew i was fat but didn't realise how fat,until my boyfriend took a photo of me at the seaside,OMG i looked awful,i honestly didn't know i looked so repulsive,when you look in the mirror you see what you want to see,not what is true,i also still think i look about 25 in the mirror not my actual age of 33

It is always hard for me to see pictures of myself because of the fact that I am and have been a big girl for quite a while. I am also typically the person that is behind the camera, so it is rare to see a recent picture of myself. That said, at our family reunion last month, there were several pictures that were taken of me and I'm happy to say that I wasn't upset about the way that I looked in the pictures, I am still big, but my body looks a lot better than it used to look. I just hope I'm able to continue on in the right direction.

ummmmm....can I see your pic........just kidding.Just ignore those thing........

That's ok. I used my old pictures taken when I was still chubby to inspire me to go on a diet... and I achieved my desired figure!

As a beauty I'm not a great star There are others more handsome by far But my face, I don't mind it Because I'm behind it 'Tis the people out front that I jar. Time to stop looking at recent photos of yourself, Girlfriend. I know I have. And remember, beauty is only skin deep.

I can feel for you, since I no longer like to look at recent photos of me. The last picture I had taken of me was a shock. I have resolved to exercise more and watch what I eat. May we both get on the right way to a better healthier physique.

Don't worry about it, photographs always mae us look bigger than we are, this is also true of cameras and being on TV. Don't worry, plus when you're actually the one looking at yourself it actually makes you think even bigger too :)

I hate seeing photos of myself. I guess it just shows me the reality of it all.

A lot of jugs will do you good healthwise, jugs. And do your online matters during the night till the wee hour of the morning. Facebook and Farmville is another way of prolonging your stay in the techie, and in this way, you will get amazed you loose weight in no time at all. . . lol

there there. let it go, dear. whoever posted that over the net is probably not even aware that you didnt' like the shot. at times you need candid shots just to show who you really are. ;-)

hello! don't give a damn with these things...SMIlE ...SMILE .....SMILE! live healthy life and exercise instead. You are you , and it's a gift from above... happpy healthy life jugsjugs

Don't let the photo beat you, beat her :)) Make some jogging, go to gym, whatever you like that involves sport.

It's really very hard to imagine oneself now compared to our younger years. However with proper diet and exercise i think it would help. Nowadays with the onset of fastfoods and ready to eat or microwaveable food, these are all fattening and if you are not going to watch what you eat, chances are you are going to get fat. I think you can still eat all the food you want provided in smaller quantity.
