Pictures of ourselves

Thanks for the praise. But I don't take praise too well.

So let me post a pic I just took a few hours ago with my camera myself. That other pic was taken when I was in college and would go play basketball or football or something everyday and get my exercise in. I've put on like 10-15 lbs. since then and it seems like it all went to my cheeks. I just started doing cardio and stuff again to lose the weight. Here's what I look like now. Not as flattering is it?

And Animeshop, after seeing the new pic, you're allowed to take back your invite.

Okay, so you put on a little weight! But man, are you harsh on yourself! Not only do you not look half as bad as you claim but you also took that picture way too close to your face. In that other picture you posted before you were further away from the camera and (and this is a key element) you were smiling.
But I know how you feel, I'm extremely insecure about the way I look and what other people say helps very little. It's what I think about myself that matters to me, I'm the one who needs to look in the mirror and like what I see. I suppose this applies to everybody.
I've learned that working out is a real ego booster not to mention healthy so you should really keep up with your cardio, cardio really helps a lot. Besides 10-15lbs isn't a lot, you'll loose them fast (trying to loose about 5-7lbs myself).
