Anyone else feel really "shlumpy".......

[kangaroodle]

when you get your pictures back and there's one of you next to one of the Princesses? The kids look fine, but somehow I can never measure up next to one of those beauties.....especially during a hot day at the parks! Kathy

The picture of me next to Mary Poppins is so gross, its not even funny!!

What to do, what to do????????????????

 

[michellejed]

If we all had a costume to ware and a make-up artist, we would look fabulous Darling

I feel shlumpy just watching the Princesses on video, much less sharing a pix with them.

I'm glad my son is a teenager who has no interest in the character meals anymore. I've had enough pix next to young, beautiful Princesses to last me a lifetime.

My favorite picture is of me and "The Beast"...I look slim, trim and put together

 

[luvmyboys]

I feel schlumpy every day! I went back to school 2 years ago, and within a month was pregnant with DS # 2 (after trying for 4 years!) Being ENORMOUSLY preggo on a campus filled w/ 18 year-old skinny fashion queens is one thing (at least I just looked pregnant ) but now I just feel over weight & old! Bring on the princesses-- I'm ready!

I'm glad our favorites are Chip and Dale, we never were wild about the Princesses. They all seemed so helpless; in need a being rescued by a handsome Prince.

Plus, we look pretty slim next to the chipmunks!

Yeah, Snow White is my favorite princess so when we were at CRT for breakfast last October I had DH take a picture of her with me and my daughter. I look like an old, fat woman from the old country having a bad hair day. I even cropped half my body out of the picture but it did no good! From now on I am just sticking to taking pictures of my kids with the princesses!

The pictures early in the day are pretty good - it's just when you go to a character dinner at the end of the day - oh man!! No makeup left, the hair in complete ruin from being blown around on the rides all day - it's a scary thing!!

 

[addicted2disney]

LOL Amy&Dan!! Ive cropped my self skinnier before too!!!! ...a little slice off of this thigh... and little off the whole one side of my body..

 

[MommytoMJM]

Schlumpy and PROUD of it! LOL...... I bet they are waaaay uncomfy......

 

[atatamanukaH]

I never seem to be able to take a good picture.

 

[kgkmom]

LOL! I always think I look shlumpy in pictures with the characters, because I usually am slouched a bit, so I can get my arm around their back and under their arm! If I'm not slumped over a little bit (sending my bosom even closer to my belt than normal!), then the character's nose is level with my bosom, which somehow just seems a bit unnerving.

Guess I need to hang out with all the tall charachters instead of the shorter, cuddly ones!

Ballou, Ballou, where are you????

 

[dani0622]

Yes! I couldn't believe how tiny they look in pics next to me! I am no skinny minny but I was like okay their waists are as big as my wrists!

Our first trip was in 2002 and when I saw the pictures after we got home, I was thoroughly depressed. I got on the treadmill and lost 50 pounds before our trip in 2003. Still look huge next to Snow White! (She's my fav) 30 more pounds to go, but I'm finding looking good in the pictures is good motivation. Now, I wish I could do something about ride/hat hair!!!!

 

[maxaroni]

YES.....I want to look like the people in the promo's and look all put together, calm, cool and collected. Instead, it appears everyone else looks like that and I feel like I'm exhausted (and look it), hot, sweaty and just a mess.

 

[micksterlee]

As long as I am standing next to Pooh I don t look to bad as far as other characters go that is a different story.

 

[Eljay]

Hey gang, they are, after all, Princesses!
I am personally going to be awed by their youth & beauty and try to be inspired by them to stand up straight, suck in my tummy, touch up my lipstick, fix my messy sweaty hair, smile and try to be a princess, too!
Yeah right! Dream on, Eljay!

 

[maxiesmom]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one with this problem! I always think I look like a moose!
