I was taking a progress photo in the mirror the other day and they kept coming out looking bigger than what I saw in the mirror. I even held the photo up next to my image in the mirror and I looked bigger in the photo. I'm not sure if it's just a perception thing or if I really look thinner in the mirror than I do in photos.

I think I look larger in photos also. I think the camra does add pounds,that is why actresses,models,etc aatry to stay thinner since the camera is gonna add some,I think this is what they say anyway...

Reminds me of an old joke- a woman says she looks heavier in the photo because the camera adds 10 lbs. Her husband asks "Well how many cameras were on you?"

It's all about the angle. Sometimes I look at a photo and I think "hot damn I'm a skinny *****" and then sometimes I see a photo and I think "who the hell is that - i'm not that fat!!"

Like...trying on a Snookie costume yesterday was enough to convince I was a fat cow...mostly cause it was the most unflattering thing ive ever put on :-p

I take a lot of pics of myself and mostly helps me see myself thinner.

The costume totally wasnt meant for someone with double rolls of skin and fat and no boobs :-p

I think ill keep the police costume with the back view as my screen saver and pretend I dont have all that hanging **** on the front :-p

I need a photo shoot where all pics are of my back from lets say - hips up :-p

No joke, true story. Snookie just bought a house about 15 mins from where I live to continue her stupid freaking spinoff. NOBODY would look good in a Snookie costume LOL
