Bad self image day- just saw pics ftom the wedding I was in in June!
I am just having a down day as I feel like I look like so wide in every picture! I was trying to find one where I looked ok to have made to put in the engraved frame she gave us for being in her wedding. I am just so frustrated that . I have gained so much weight 2. I have been focusing on that and not the wonderful friendship and honor it is to be someone bridesmaid!
I was really trying to lose before her wedding too and realloy spent a lot of time and money to go tanning, get hair done, nails done, facials etc! And then I saw the pics and was like uggh what a waste - no one will see all that just how wide I look!
Anyone feel this way and hate it!
I do hun! I'm sure nobody else is looking as critically as you are. I have friends getting married soon and I want to try and lose as much weight as possible before I have to get stuffed into a dress. I am sure you looked beautiful! (((Hugs)))

Your friend wants to share her special day with you because you are you, a wonderful person. Try to focus on your friendship and that special day. Hugs.
I got married in October and when I look at the PICS I gag!!! It's true though, no on is as critical as yourself. When everyone looks at my wedding pics they tell me how beautiful I look and I am looking at them in disgust. I am sure you will look great...Positive self image comes from within!! Just because you don't look like Barbie doesn't mean your not beautiful!!
I know how you feel. I am sure that you were just beautiful in the photos. Please don't let it get you down, I am trying to change the way I look. I know that it is going to be a long rocky road, but I am sick of the way I look in photos as well!
Be proud that your friend was honored to have you in her wedding!

I take wedding photos, and believe me, nobody (well, nobody worth knowing, anyway) is thinking that. When I look at the girls in the photos, all I see is how nice they look; the pretty dresses and elegant hair-do's.
Believe it or not, I've had many plus-size women outshine the skinny ones! It's all a matter of attitude !
Don't be so down on yourself, hon. It's not that bad.
I know exactly how you feel sweetheart...::Big Hugs:: to you. Angie is right, your friend loves you for the wonderful and beautiful person you are...on the inside and the outside. We are all of our own worst critics......I just wanted you to know you are loved and you are beautiful....don't ever forget that sweetheart. ::Hugs::

Thanks Cysters!
All your words were really helpful!! I am trying to work on things and lose weight but I am still beautiful at every weight and I am going to continue to get my hair done, nails done, and take time to do my makeup and pick out something I feel good wearing! Love you all- thanks!!

"Don't be afraid to go out on a limb, Thats where the fruit is"
A picture is a just 2D shot of you in a split second of time, the real you is beautiful and full of life and that's what people will "see." Go have a good time, people will not be concerned about your weight and neither should you
