What Happened to You

[Shiny]

9 1/2 weeks was on today and I was watching it. I saw Mickey Rourke in it and I have to say the dude looks NOTHING like he does now. His voice even sounds different. I was just thinking to myself, man he must hate seeing pictures of himself when he was younger. Do any of you ever feel like that? When you see pics of yourself in the old days and think, "gee wish I looked like I did then" or do you think, "gee glad I don't look like that now"? :mog:

[LunarWeaver]

Well, before I was a fatass (http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i29/LunarWeaver/0111091850.jpg), so I must say I prefer what's happening these days.

[Yar]

Naw. I'm usually sunburned in my pictures, anyway. xD

I typically look at pictures of PG and say "gee wish I looked like that." :(

[tidus_rox]

Well... I am young, so 'back in the day' doesn't really apply for me. I liked how I looked it grade 9, as opposed to now, in grade 10. I did change alot in that one year. I hope this continues, though, for the better. :)

[Momiji]

I looked really stupid in my awkward middle school years, and then [no comment] on high school...

I like the way I look now more than I ever have, though how I look in terms of my own personal image could use some work. :p

I miss the flat stomach of my youth. But overall, I prefer how I look now, especially in the face. My cheeks have really hollowed out more, and my cheekbones pop out a lot now. I love my cheekbones. It makes me face more model-esque, from my cheekbones up. Otherwise though, my face is not at all model-esque because I have a weak chin and a nosepass. xD

My boobs have also grown about a cup size or two since that days of my flat stomach teen-youth. I like that a lot, because it makes my figure curvy instead of fat on the bottom, flat on top.

:o Is that really you? I can kinda see you with the eyes a little. Ohhh, precious.

No, there was also something really awful about my appearance, I've never looked better than I do now (besides my baby days), but now my acne's worse than it's ever been, and my hair just doesn't match my face sometimes x.x

When I was two-ish, my head was very very large. Very large. Then as my teeth grew in I had buck teeth until I was eleven; the kids made fun of me once I started third grade ;_;

Then in middle school I had my hair cut to chin length. I only cut my hair like once every few years, and even then only a couple of inches, so it was a big deal! I didn't take care of my hair, though, so I was constantly told that I looked like a guy until it grew back in the 9th grade ;_;

[rubah]

I look remarkably the same as in kindergarten, really (http://www.snowy-day.net/pictures/mes/wtpkindergarten.jpg)

I guess I wish my hair laid down that flat still!

We won't discuss fourth through sixth grades here. Awkward age hit awkwardly hard!

[Jessweeee♪]

Awww, that's like, the cutest kindergartner smile ever xD

[scrumpleberry]

I was a cute child. I don't know what the hell happened. From about 7ish onwards I hate all pictures of myself and the way I am now equally.

[NeoCracker]

I looked plain in my younger years.

And I had short hair. Ewww.

[Zeldy]

I never used to wear makeup or straighten my hair up until about year 8/year 9 when I was 12/13. So anything before then is just horrid.

[blackmage_nuke]

I like the way I use to look but not the way I use to dress.

[Rantz]

Oh man, I found this old picture of maybe 13-year old me back at my parents' place, and if I hadn't recognised myself I would have thought it was a girl in the picture. Long (past the shoulders) blonde hair, super ugly clothes and what the heck I don't know what I was thinking back then. xD

[Rye]

I miss my VERY young self. I was such a beautiful child. I was really thin and tall for my age, and I got offers to child model and everything, but I turned them down because I was a lame tomboy.

Now I'll never know what it's like to model. ;;

[Caraliz]

I was a pretty little girl with brown eyes and blonde hair.

Now I'm weird lookin', tall and lanky. Brown hair.

edit: and when I was even younger I look like a girl, so yeah, that too.

and yowza Noctiluca has changed like woah.

[Rye]

Oh my freaking god, Lev. xD

[Wolf Kanno]

For me, most people tell me I haven't changed except that short time in elementary school when puberty beat me with a bat. Shaving in the 5th grade and having your voice drop overnight is not fun in those years...

Beyond that, I look the same as I did when I was a child except my hair color darkened from light sandy color to a blondish brown color. I'm constantly mistaken for a high school student...:eep:

[Bunny]

One picture of my childhood exists. I own it and keep it locked away in a secure location away from prying eyes.

That said, I was an adorable little boy who was into all manner of weird and crazy stuff. I also knew a girl who thought she was a cat and I pushed girls off the monkey bars. So I was also mean. I had big glasses, too.

[Blue Harvest]

I looked terrible when I was a teenager; overweight, a severe acne problem, and the worst style glasses in history. I've destroyed all pictures I had from back then, but unfortunately there's still hundreds on an old schoolfriend's website >.<

[cloud_doll]

I look the best now than I ever had. Except it's weird my bra size was bigger in 9th grade than now 11th...and my hair was longer. But still all my baby fat is gone.

[Peegee]

Naw. I'm usually sunburned in my pictures, anyway. xD

I typically look at pictures of PG and say "gee wish I looked like that." :(

I'm flattered, but I'm asian. Sorry you won't ever look like me <3


I've been 5'6 since I was maybe 16 or 17. A breakdown of my weight at various times of my life:

Before 18: irrelevant
19-20: 120-125 lbs
24: 140 lbs
25: 160 lbs / fat (sauce) (http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/7146/n7447854297764575544uu8.jpg) was probably 27 at the time.
Then gradual decrease of fat until I look the way I do today.

The 'pictures' of me in EoFF album are when I was 24, I think.

I will say, generally, that I've never hated the way I looked at any point in my life. When I was < 22 years old I had 8% body fat but was skinny (or atheletic, would be what I write in when asked). I cared more about cardio than I do now, and had visible abs and pretty much nothing else. I guess for some people that's better than they can hope?

I don't like the idea of hating the way you look just because you ended up better. At the end of this year I expect to be between 160-170 lbs, so does that mean I'll look back at me at the start of the year and go 'lol weakling' ? I don't think so. Wrong mentality to take.

I had dark freckles when I was a kid, and I'm glad that they've faded.

I have enough love for Bunny to suffice for the both of us. :heart:

[Balzac]

I looked like a scruffy rockstar when I was younger. I still look like a scruffy rockstar.

[Bunny]

I have enough love for Bunny to suffice for the both of us. :heart:

You have no idea what you have gotten yourself into.

[Evastio]

If you saw a picture of me when I was young, you'd probably think "I can't believe what that kid has turned into", even if you've never seen a recent picture of me before.

[Tama2]

I looked like Fievel the mouse when I was younger.

Now I'm just a skinny, tall kid with long hair to hide me mouse ears.
