How do you give the illusion in pictures that your thinner than what you really are? I can never get it right and I want to take pics of outfits but look so pudgy and my legs look so fat and gross.

Take it at an upward angle by tilting your phone bit forward and kind of tilt your body to the side. Roll your shoulders back and make sure youre standing up straight.
Always bring your head a bit forward and downwards kind of like Kim Kardashian. That's the best I got lol.

Or you could just embrace your body and learn to love it?

Agree with Courtney ^ I notice you put yourself down a lot and I don't think you're being fair to yourself.
your a very beautiful girl. just because you are curvier doesn't mean you are ugly or shouldn't have confidence.
embrace your body and learn to love your curves. I'd like to see more confidence in you. In my opinion confidence is beautiful. regardless of shape size skin color hair texture or anything.

Curvy is sexy. But never face the camera dead on. Always have your body at an angle and use your arms to cover up any extra bits. Tooch that booty out. Work what you got. Excuse the workout swag but this is an example of how I take pictures. And believe me I'm far from thin. (5'1 and 177 lbs) you just have to work on your angles and confidence. You can be 100 or 200+ lbs it's all about how you feel. That's what shows in the picture.

If you are truly unhappy with your body I recommend working out and eating better. The change you will see will give you more confidence :)

Thank you everyone so much and it's been a battle towards the way I see myself I want to embrace my self and love my body and have confidence but honestly it's the hardest thing to do because the negitive thoughts in my head are louder than the ones that say I look good and I watch a kandee Johnson video on this and I so badly want to love myself But it's so hard and honestly I feel so bad because I should love myself and be happy but it's just so hard

Trust me Brianna you are not alone on the journey of trying to accept yourself. I am right there with you! If you want to workout more I highly recommend a workout buddy (if you can not afford a trainer) just so you have someone that can hold you accountable for those days that you really don't want to do anything! or maybe try and take some classes at your local YMCA..

There are lots of videos on youtube with free workouts :) you could use myfitnesspal also. It an app that helps you count calories and be aware of what youre eating. :) I'm also very self conscious but working out has helped.
