Question
Lets all be honest! I want everyone to look in the mirror and tell me what they see and say to themselves. I want you to be aware of how you speak to yourselves when no one is looking. I'll tell you why later. lilo

Are u kidding, u asked this question at the WRONG time, but I'll answer anyway.

When I look in the mirror I see fat, sloppy, cellulite, unhappy, not-outgoing, sad, disgusting, gross and un-attractive. I see someone about to have to buy the next size up if I don't make moves now.

To be honest I dont think my mirror likes me that much. Most days i'm like ewww then other times I might catch my reflection in a store window and say DAYUUUM and have to turn around to see if its another woman standing behind me lol

Okay I will tell you what I see.
I see someone who has a long way to go to feel good about herself and accept herself for what she is each day.When I see myself without clothes I want to get sick cause I look awful in my view.
I comlain about cellulite and fat that I see everywhere and wonder how my hubby can love my the way he does!
But under it all I keep telling myself that the thin me is there I just need to see her for what she is then she will be able to come out for good!

When I look at the mirror I see someone who is wondering who she is...someone who is loving but doesn't feel loved; someone who cares but doesn't feel cared for; someone who is overwhelmed and tired, someone with a pretty face and nice hair, someone who wants to be a better wife and mom but isn't yet caring for herself enough to fulfill this dream...someone learning to love herself.

When I look in the mirror I see someone who is 27 with a body that is gross. I see someone who has noticed a diffrence in there body since april 03 but someone who is still unattractive. I see someone who everyone says they have seen a big diffrence in my weight loss but I havent. I see someone who is always bashing herself and never thinks shes looks pretty. When I look in the mirror I see someone who is really sad within herself and always thinks bad things about her. Ok thats all. Amy

Unfortuately when I look in the mirror I do NOT like what I see. I feel like I am HUGE, my face is completely wrinkled and generally unattractive. Even a few years ago when I weighed 101 pounds I still to this day remember thinking I was fat. Now I look at pictures at that weight and think OMG I am positively bony! Can you say therapy???

Okay, honestly - I looked in the mirror this morning, and I liked what I saw!!!! I am not normally a very modest person, I have beat myself up for years and years about the way I look - but I'm liking myself more and more each day. I still, by all means, am nowhere near my goal weight, but I can sure see a difference, and it makes me feel good!! I could still never wear a bikini without offending a lot of people, but for the first time in like 15 years, I actually saw myself closer than I have ever been, to being able to wear one!! Girls - lets not be so hard on ourselves - look in the mirror, and see how far you have come!!!!

Whew - thats a hard one...somedays I feel good, I even feel skinny...other days I think 'if I could just lose this baby belly and tone my thighs, I'd be close to perfect'. I'm really bad about comparing myself to other people ~ and they are usually the way skinny ones.


ps thanks for the info on your workouts - you really work your ***** off!

May 15, 2004 Was my wedding day. I weighed 133 pounds of pure muscle. All of the hard work (30 sessions with a personal trainer) paid off when I wore a thong on my honeymoon.

I came back from my honeymoon and things were good. I was happy. Then, on July 4th I was in an ATV accident. After 3 months of physical therapy I went back to work. I was depressed. I saw the doctor for medication and therapy. By the grace of God I survived the depression and endured through the pain. Yes, I could have killed my husband and myself, but I didn't. I'm still here and...

I want a DO-OVER!!!

Unhappy
a short, fat, unattractive person! I often wonder why my husband ever married me or even stays with me!! I often dont like myself and so I don't like what I see in the mirror.

I see an almost 40 year old woman who looks healthier than ever. I see all the good exercise has done.

If I turn around I still see some "loose" skins on my butt and upper thighs - so I just keep on exercising and don't turn around for the back view unless I'm wearing tight jeans or shorts that put things where they should be!
