Size pictures and body dysmorphia

This has been kicking around in the back of my brain for a while. I know that we have so many people who simple don't have a clue what they look like. For some of us we can't see how much weight we've lost. I think partly because in our head we are still gi-normous, while in other cases we don't see it because we live with it. It's hard to notice change when it is incremental.

I would like to propose a series of threads that show what people look at different sizes. I've never seen anything like this anywhere, so this is why I'm proposing it here. I think this would be very powerful and invaluable for people moving down the size chart.

I also know that size is independant of weight, so I'm thinking that it might be a good idea to post weight too so that people can understand the range of weights that are possible at that size.

What do y'all think?

Ditto! I wish I could get an anti-cellulite filter to use in real life. Kare, I'll take you on: My cellulite's bigger than yours, nyah-nyah!

Oh--I missed this message until just now Zoe. I seriously doubt YOU would win THIS contest, but I tell ya what. I'll just concede.

It was humiliating enough to take a pic in my stretch stirrups. If you think I'm gunna take a pic of my cellulite you are outa your mind!!!

Talk about a horror flick--YIKES!

LOL.

Just think, if we all had perfect bodies there'd be nothing to laugh about.
