No this is not my chin, but it is a good example since I Photoshop all of my chin pictures.
I have a double chin. It's not a big one and not real noticable, but it's still there. It's in my photos. I feel it when I sleep. I even feel it when I laugh. I hate it.
I've now grown accustomed to looking up in photos or not take pictures of me smiling very big. Every time I do it comes out. I have so many great photos I want to share, but can't bear to show them to anyone. The ones I really want to show, like from my wedding, I try to Photoshop it out. Some of them I can't, which makes me want to stash those in the back somewhere. When I worked for a photo company they taught us to have the person posing do the "turtle neck", in which you straighten your neck up and then jut your chin forward a little bit. It's supposed to reduce the double chin and make it look leaner. It doesn't work. I know.
Maybe because it makes me feel fat, when I'm really not. My doctor told me it was just some excess tissue that had built up, but that's not what it feels like. It's like an abnormality or mutant growth that doesn't belong.
If you've read my blog you've seen where I posted about this before and possibly having surgery to get it fixed. I'm already planning how I could finance something like that. We have a local surgeon but I'm not sure about the payment plans. It seems extreme, but I'd give my left arm to be rid of it and feel good about myself again and actually take a photo again. Hell I'd give my second chin for something like that.
