okay....how i look in the mirror isnt how i seem to look in film. I see myself as a curvy hot girl in the mirror, but the second i see a photo its total fail. I see my skin as blotchy and my hair frizzy and matted. I see at least 50 lbs on me and no curves or flattering features on my face. I just get flabergasted when someone tells me how good a

Did you like the one I took of you at The Night Kitchen?

I soooooo get the dysphoria Hun! I too struggle with the same stuff and I rarely keep all of my pictures. I do consider keeping the ones that other people seem to enjoy but ultimately it is up to me if I think an image of me is worthy of keeping. I admit sometimes the desire to dispose of it is because I struggle with self worth.... but more often than not I don't find worth in the image b/c it differs from the beauty I believe myself to be and I don't want to project the negative stuff that I used to see all of the time.

Honestly, you are beautiful Sweetie and the pictures I love of you are the ones that capture your spirit!

I feel the same way about pictures; I am just one big, blotchy, frizz ball.
