Yup! I know what you're talking about. While I don't like my looks, they seem to be better in the mirror than they are in photos. It could be the lighting, the camera, my mood, or even who's taking the pic.

My family went out to dinner tonight to celebrate my youngest's and his wife's birthdays. They are three days appart. Because we had a birthday and it was obvious with the flowers and balloons, the host came over to take a pic. My DIL insisted that we would ALL be in it. Because I'm the shortest, since I sit in a wheelchair, I always manage to be in the center.

That fat, gap-toothed old lady wasn't me!! They had to have drug in someone off the street! She was way darker than I am and she was ORANGE!! UUUUGGGHH!! I guess it doesn't help that everyone else in the picture is fair and I'm the only olive skinned person in that group. Of course, it could have been the lighting, the poloroid camera... who knows... but it's U-GULY of me!

You know... when I dream about myself, I'm walking and I'm thin... what does that mean??
