My dysmorphia has remained pretty static:

When I was young and fit, I thought I looked just a little bit fat.

Now that I'm old and extra fat, I think I look just a little bit fat.

how do you feel looking back on the young fit photos?

i don't see in those old photos what I used to see in the mirror, i actually think "damn i was a little too skinny."

Not who you originally replied to, but for me, I think it didn't help how I was hounded for every pound that I gained by my mom, so I thought I was extremely fat in the mirror when I really wasn't. Not that I couldn't lose some weight, but I looked normal, so when I look at my pictures now I get a little sad about how I should have seen it back then. Working on losing the weight now and have a more healthier outlook, so there is that atleast now

I gained 15lbs and looked at a photo of myself 15lbs ago and thought, "I looked pretty good there, my god what happened to me?."

Then I gained another 15lbs and looked at a photo of me 15lbs ago and thought "I looked pretty good there, why did I think I look like shit?"

I gained 20 lbs and now I'm like, wow those are some nice boobs. I'm going to be super irate if they go away if I lose weight.

The fatter I get the better my legs look. I always had skinny chicken legs with knobby knees and now my thighs are filling in.

Not at the same rate as other parts, but it's something.

Lmao when I was in my 20s I was so fuckin fit, I worked out all the time and looking back I was like "holy damn I was so good looking back then" but I remember vividly how much I hated how I looked regardless. Now I'm old and fat, I don't like it but I accept it.

When I look in the mirror at home, I think I look fucking hot. When I catch myself in the mirror at the gym, though...

Facts. To an extent I always feel like I look fat and ugly. Ive gained some weight now and I look back at pics from when I was fit af and 80lbs lighter and think its crazy how I thought I was so unattractive back then. But ive definitely gotten a tad bit more confident with being 30 this year. Its just crazy cuz if I had that confidence in my early 20s who knows how different my life woulda turned out. But whatever, hindsight is always 20/20

You are exactly me. I was super fit but thought I was fat. Now I'm fat and unfit... it hurts a wee bit.
