Hard time looking at pictures
So before I had surgery I HATED how I looked in pictures. I, like I am sure many of us, avoided the camera as much as possible.
Over the past week I have had a lot of pictures taken of me in group settings and posing for pictures at Disney with my mom.
I have a hard time looking at pictures of myself post op. I don't know if it is because I am not used to seeing myself or what. I look great compared to how I used to look. People tell me I took too skinny, but I am not. I am in my normal BMI range. I have a whole wardrobe of clothes that I now love to wear. I don't know if it is because I am trying to grow my hair out and it is driving me nuts or what the deal is.
I don't know if my post op brain is still trying to catch up with the way I look or what. Sometimes I don't recognize myself.
Anyone else have this problem? I know, it is such a bad problem to have.

I have the opposite problem, in that I hate looking at pictures of myself pre-op.
But, one of the things I do struggle with is looking at new pictures and not knit-picking my appearance. Especially when it comes to the excess skin on my arms and the muffin-top. I feel like, they're betraying me as a former fattie, and no one will ever accept me as a normal weight with those reminders.
These are the head demons I think we all battle at some point.
