So a lot of my female friends will look at pictures of themselves and immediately deem themselves fat. Or they will see a specific body part and think it is much bigger than it really is (most of the times its the belly). Well there is a reason for this, and it isn't because they are fat, it has something to do with photography itself.
This is a great article describing why we never look as good in pictures as we do in real life.
(Tip: don't expect to look good using a wide angle lens or a point and shoot camera).
