Every time i look in the mirror, my face looks alright. but then when i look at my face in pictures, it somehow looks a bit puffy especially my cheeks! it doesn't look like a model where their faces in pictures are PERFECTLY thin. and when i look at myself in pictures, my face looks puffy and swollen. and i have no idea why. i mean i do understand that the camera adds 10 pounds.... when i look at models and i look at their faces, when i think of the phrase the camera adds 10 pounds... i just think of how ridiculous it sounds! i mean if the camera adds 10 pounds, does it add to the face or body or both? i'm sorry but im a bit frustrated and if the camera reall does add 10 pounds, and the model's face looks perfectly skinny, then IMAGINE how skinny the model really is in real life!! this is an example of what i am talking about. http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Adriana+Lima+Victoria+Secret+Angels+Pose+Beach+bLp55EuijZxl.jpg
Don't become Skinny, it will NEVER work. You need to work on your self image, i.e. learn to love yourself and your body.
And some people are much better looking in real life than in photos, as they arent photogenic. Some people just aren't, but wouldnt you rather be pretty in real life than pretty in pics? you're in real life much more often lol
