Fat Shock, Realizing Growth

MsGreenLantern · 09-28-2007, 08:59 PM

Alright. My best friend and I love taking photos and going on silly roadtrips, but after the last sets of photos I realized that I have gotten a lot fatter. At first it was shock, because I never felt that large. After looking a while I realized that, yeah, when you're edging to 300, you will look different on film!

So, has anyone else had a fairly quick weight gain without realizing, or maybe you hit a weight that shocked even you without trying? Since I've always been fat I never thought I'd be so shocked about how I looked, but wow... things do change!

Photo Example:

In 2005 I gained 22 lbs from frequenting the vending machines at work. Whe I had photos taken, I was horrified to see how big my boobs had become. They looked like my matronly aunt's. But I'm 54, now at the age I remember my aunt at! No reason not to look matronly at my age.

Luv, Weej

P. S. Tried on an old dress, far too tight, but I saw how flattering the old-style shoulder pads were, I think i'm gonna go out and get shoulder pads!

I think photos definitely show just how much I've gained over the years, and I totally relate to your "wow" moment. Honestly it's kinda fun to look back and compare.

Actually, whenever I or anyone takes a photo of me, I'm in total shock. I don't know what it is, but I must have a completely different image of myself in my head. It seems I'm a lot better looking in my head than in pix. LOL!

I experience a different kind of shock whenever I look at old photos of me. I am always blown away by how normal my weight/body was, even though I felt, was told and was always treated as very fat. Weird.

I recently looked through old photos of myself from high school - when I was teased quite a lot for being fat and I believed it. Now 240 pounds heavier I look at those photos and realize I wasn't fat at all. It is amazing how other people's perceptions of our bodies compare to our own.

Seeing a photo of myself now, sometimes I don't even recognize the person I see! The picture in my mind and the picture in my hand never quite match up.

I definately agree with Aurora, it is a wow moment and quite exciting !

I love that picture... the skinny girl looks like the one who's shocked at the weight gain, though.

I've put on about 60 pounds (on purpose) in the past 4 months. I know I am fatter. I know that for a while, I was buying a new pair of jeans every 2 weeks or so because my old ones weren't fitting right anymore. But for whatever reason I can never tell that I actually look fatter. I just don't see the gains- at all. Until I see a picture of myself. And then I am in shock.

I just recently started to notice the changes outside of pictures, but they seem very minor to me. Though I know that they are pretty drastic. I mean, 60 pounds is a lot of weight.

Soo, yeah. I can totally relate. : ))

unfortunately, i don't get to take too many body shots of myself. i do notice my gains though - all i have to do is look down

also, my clothes have definitely been harder to get into. i just fill up more space than i did a few months ago. i love it all, of course

You are just like Ivy, a very sexy girl, who also loves to talk about gaining weight and it's results. We love that!
