Husbands!

Seriously.

Women would never, ever, ever do what some husbands do.

There you are.

At an event.

Wearing a shirt that you think is slimming.

Feeling all positive about yourself.

And then you get home and download photos.

And...

...ummm...

OMG!

OMG!

Seriously?

Seriously!!!!

Who is that person in those photos?!?

Surely...

Surely...

That is not me.

Me! of the sticking to a dumb diet for 6 weeks now...

Me!  of the walking a bazillion miles in the gazillion degree heat.

Me!

Gosh.

Let me show you what I mean.

Take a deep breath.

Okay.

Here you go!


You seriously didn't think I was going to show you the picture, did you?

Nosirree, Bob.

Ain't gonna happen.

Okay.   Off to walk another gazillion miles in the bazillion degree heat.

And, please...

If you know what's good for you...

Don't let Mr. Jenny take a picture of you...

Sigh...

I try not to let ANYONE take a picture of me!

Francisca said...

Oh Jenny, but I DO do that to my honey when I think he needs to watch his weight creeping up... LOL! And you know what? It works! LOL!

Unknown said...

That is why I take the pictures in the family.

A camera is not my best friend either, Jenny, unless of course... it's in MY hands!

Julie Kwiatkowski Schuler said...

My camera makes my face look weird.... It must be my camera!

Sandy said...

the last time I let the husband take the camera in hand there was one of me bending over to pick up something and the back end of me.. well, nufsaid!
cute post

Cathy said...

My husband and Sandy's husband must be related, because he did the same thing last year and I'm STILL walking. (And trying to recover from THAT photo.)

Moore Minutes said...

LOL!! I'm literally laughing out loud right now. This was one of the funniest posts I've seen with that black box in place of a photo. Hilarious.

Theresa said...

If I see Mr. Jenny here at the beach, I am ducking behind a palm tree;). Hugs

Pondside said...

Only seriously photo-shopped and well-chosen photos of Yours Truly ever appear on my blog. Thanks for the warning about Mr Jenny - and good luck with the walking! It sounds awful in that heat!

NatureGirl said...

At my house this issue is exacerbated by the fact that MY Mr. like to take pix of my backside! Argh!!!

Ames said...

Woman are too critical of themselves! Keep calm and carry on!~Ames

Pat said...

I can soooo relate to your post!! I am very camera shy...a few weeks ago I was photographed in a group pic as we presented a comfort quilt to a friend. I made the mistake of standing next to another dear friend who weighs 89#'s soaking wet. I looked like AMAZON WOMAN next to her - remind me to get to the back row next time. I much prefer being on the opposite end of the camera...

Linda @ A La Carte said...

I look at photos of myself and think...who is that 'fluffy' lady? OK maybe I use other words to describe me...but you understand. Keep on walking! I'm trying to eat less and move more...well I'm thinking about it anyway! hugs, Linda

Margaret (Peggy or Peg too) said...

Why do our husbands do this?
I'm sure you look great but a bad picture can make one swirl into a funk. Oh wait, that's probably just me.

Melinda said...

So funny!
Love the black box.

Hi Jenny,
I keep wondering that - who is that old person in that picture? Damn, it's me ~ funny how we see ourselves much, much younger than the reality.
Ah well, from a 50+ birthday girl today.

That happens to me all the time!!

Judie said...

Hahahaha! I seriously relate to this! Joey sent me his beach photos and there was an old hag in several of them! "Who IS that? OMG! It's me!"

ImagiMeri said...

Glue a piece of paper over the lens and you'll never have to worry!

Love ya'

Susan Anderson said...

Tonight is Dave's retirement party, where photos will abound...

*sigh*

PS. Hope my slimming outfit is as slimming as I need it to be... ;)

New Mum Online said...

Hi
I was happy with what I wore on Friday but your post exactly sums up how I feel about what I wore on Saturday.
Thank God TK Maxx sorted me out!

Unknown said...

I can SO relate, remember the photos we took of us??? Hated how I looked, and I just keep getting bigger! No photos, that's it! My family will just have to have great memories...

RBStyle said...

We have all been there! Photos either make us or break us.

I so get this...off to get a cookie.

Gail said...

My hubby no longer gets a camera. For the first twenty years, there are only pictures of my behind!

anitamombanita said...

hahahahaha :^P

Unknown said...

It's the camera; you know they make objects appear bigger so imagine what they do to people!!

Viki said...

I had some photos taken of me a few weeks ago like that. Yikes!!

vivian said...

I hate having my picture taken. I seriously am NOT photogenic. I am envious of those who are. I bet you didnt look as bad as you thought you did though.

Ok! Absolutely if I see him headed toward me I will run quickly! Ha! Ha!

Along These Lines ... said...

As a husband, I resemble that remark.

Busy Bee Suz said...

Mr Jenny is so naughty. :0
Be careful out in that bazillion degree heat Jenny!

Nonna said...

Bahahahahaha ! I have learned to strategically place myself in photos behind other people. As long as my head is in the photo I'm good. Recently at a family party, I refused to sit down in the front row for a family photo. I hid behind my Hubs and my BIL who are thankfully bigger and let me tell you, my Hubs was miffed and my BIL just laughed !!!

Jenny, You are hilarious and so close to the bone! Liz

I've been married a long time.
In our house there was four daughters, a grand daughter, a mother in law, wife and I. I not very smart, but I've learned a thing of two along the way about how to keep a happy household. I like to take photos. Lot's of photos. I ALWAYS give the females in the photo plenty of warning so they can adjust their poses and clothes, so that they have at least a chance of liking the photo. Women hate being surprised by someone with a camera.
