Nothing will trigger my Body Image Demons faster than seeing candid photos of myself.
They were a good reminder that my posture sucks, especially when I am seated. I needed that, seriously.
Also, they were good proof that I don't want to wear my hair up for the wedding unless it's 100 degrees, because -- candid photos. Hair up + double chin + side view = OH HELL NO.
I am sheltering in place in Owings Mills. Or, you know, staying at work until the time I normally leave.
DON"T GET BLOWN TO OZ, LISAH!
I'm with everyone on the photo thing. Heck, even getting a side-eye glimpse in the mirror sometimes startles me on how different I look at different angles, as opposed to straight-on. I'm horrified people see me at all angles, because I feel like I look much worse from the side...but then I try to remind myself that I don't feel that way about anybody I know ("OMG, he's so hot when you look right at him but the side view is AWFUL!"). And when I saw my college roommate last month, she was hating on her nose, and i was like "Seriously? I wouldn't ever have thought of that, your nose is fine!" and she was like "No, I always wanted your nose!" So, people are weird.
(Also, Maria you are lookin' DARN good in those pics you've been posting, I say keep eating the good food!)
I almost never take a good picture.
meara, those are carefully posed. I specifically turn a bit to the side to get the most flattering perspective. Sometimes I feel like an impostor at this because I still have love handles and belly fat, and my inside thighs are too fat, and my arms--while muscular--are not as toned as I want them to be.
Stay safe, DC/B'more peeps. I'm still at work in Towson, and will be for the duration.
Waiting for a little less torrential downpour to head home myself.
Facilities got on the intercom and told us to stay put & that they'd holler if we needed to get away from the windows.....
Sara, you're more directly impacted than I will be. You move, and I'll kill you myself.
