In the latest installment of "How Facebook Is Making Us Crazy," the social media site is apparently turning us all into wannabe celebrities—with A-List expectations about how we should look. In a recent survey by the Center for Eating Disorders at Sheppard Pratt, nearly half of the 600 respondents reported pressure to look "camera ready" at social events. Fifty-one percent said Facebook photos make them more self-conscious about their bodies and weight.

And you know what? They're totally right.

I can't remember the last time my friends and I took a group photo without adjusting our hair, switching positions so we could get our "good sides," sucking in, checking the lighting, or asking someone to take a vertical shot. (It's more flattering, duh.)

But if there's one thing we do that is truly offensive, it's the Chicken Wing. Get a group of 20-something women together and one (if not all) will pop their arms out like poultry. The idea is that putting your hand on your hip (see me above) will make your arm look skinnier and your waist look smaller.

It will also make you look like you're about to lay three eggs.

I'll admit, I am a recovering Chicken Winger. And now, I have a collection of pictures that look like I was posing on the Oscars red carpet (try, the basement of a fraternity). One day my kids are going to look at photos of me from my trips to South America, my four years at Mizzou, or on the steps of my first apartment in New York City. And they're only going to have one question (other than, "Can you drop me off at soccer practice?"): "Mom, what was wrong with your arm back then?"

Recently, the same friend and I took a picture without posing. It was just us laughing and smiling and looking completely goofy (like ourselves). And you know what? It's now framed in my room. So the next time you go to take a picture, forget about the 1,128 super-close Facebook friends that are going to see you tagged in it. Take it because you don't want to forget that moment. Or, do something really crazy, and don't take a picture at all.
