YEah, the camera can add weight for sure. I've noticed that when people start to lose weight it's generally noticable in the face first.

Oh, you're fine.. tomorrow, have a brisk walk, feel strong in your body, and take another picture, and smile.

You'll look as good as usual.

I have those days too. They are poopy.

No, the camera doesn't make you look like you've gained weight!!! It's just the wrong pose, at the wrong moment. That is all a photograph is. A pose. And it gives a totally wrong impression of people. Which, of course, anyone intelligent will be able to see.

Worry you not!!

From a big guy who sometimes appears bigger on film, I 100% agree with that assessment. Two pictures taken 5 minutes apart can have you looking two completely different ways. Not only that, but in real life people see the action and the energy behind the person, so where in a picture a person may not look all that dynamic, in person they can be quite a fireball despite whatever size they are. Pictures can be quite deceiving in that regard.
