I can totally relate, but I've learned the hard way that it's only my perception and that I don't look nearly as bad as I think I do.
We went to Hawaii a few years ago and had a totally awesome time. I took around 600 pictures. I am in exactly one picture that was taken by someone else. I was at my all time highest weight. But you know what? When my family looks at that picture they never say, "Wow, look how fat mom was!" No, they start talking about how much fun that vacation was.
I don't want to leave my kids thousands of pictures of them and only one or two of me.
Next time the camera is out, slip your arm around someone else (you can hide some "hip-age") and smile big!

I'm afraid I'm guilty!
I HATE having my picture taken... but I give in..and do what "uglycook" does and grab someone I love and make them get in the picture with me..that way the picture isn't totally rotten. =)

In a word NO. AS my dear GS described me...fat,old,wrinkled and bald...yes that's right bald. I also look my father's side of the family and he left us before I was born...not good memories. My husband thinks I am beautiful, so perhaps that is all that matters. Although I do have a hard time accepting that. I run when the camers comes out and usually claim being part of the FBI Witness Protection Program. Amazing how many people believe that. I do know that when I "go to Glory" I will get a new body and be restored. PTL. fmd36 in NH
