So I've noticed lately that very few of my photos contain the "real me", meaning I look slimmer than what I see every day in the mirror. I know how to dress for my body, stand a certain way, and heck, just delete bad pics to create the image of me that I want to portray (especially online). Now that I've been introduced to this great body positive community, I feel like I'm misrepresenting myself and that it comes from a place of internal fat shaming. I'm also trying online dating currently, and I want to put the "real" me out there.
What do you all think of this? Is it something I should try to change? Do you feel like your own photos are realistic and do you care?
