FabulousLadee Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I am seeing my SO in 3 weeks. Our last visit was in February. I have so much anxiety about seeing him because of my weight. I feel HUGE. I send pics of me all the time and we Skype but...when I compare pictures that other people take of me to when I take my own pictures...I seem soooo much bigger in pics that other people take of me. He has been under the impression that Ive been working out but I havent been consistent. When I look in the mirror..I see a smaller person but when I look at pictures that others have taken..I feel huge. Like which image is REAL?! AM I TRIPPIN AND BUGGIN OUT!?!? Quick History - Met online..been going at it for a year and a few months..since weve met we have seen each other 4 weekends out of the year..this will be our 5th visit June 11th..he is almost a 3L in law school..i am a professional singer Link to post Share on other sites
carvidep Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Personally, when I take pics of myself, I pay a lot more attention to how I look, sucking in the gut, trying to pose in 'just the right way'. But when other people take pics of me, they become more candid. I don't pay as much attention to trying to look perfect. So they turn out different, but I'm the only one that notices the difference. I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. Besides, seeing a person in real life is completely different from looking at their pictures. And he's seen you 4 times before. Surely he'll like you just as much the way you are now. Now stop looking at those pictures and go do something else. Link to post Share on other sites
LucreziaBorgia Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Unless you have gained a significant amount of weight, I doubt he'll notice. Link to post Share on other sites
madjac74 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Definately relax! Pictures dont do a person justice most of the time. I met my gf on an online dating site. She looked good in her pics but it wasnt a factor at all in why i wanted to meet her. When I saw her in person my jaw almost hit the floor. She said the same about me. If its really bothering you maybe you should talk to him about it. You'll be surprised how someone who loves you can quickly squash your doubts Link to post Share on other sites
