What is it about mirrors?? Yesterday I was noticing as I was getting dressed that as I was putting on one of my tops that there was decidely "less" of me breast wise... which in my case is not entirely a bad thing. For me it's a sure indicator that I'm heading in the right direction..."Yay my boobs are disapearing!!!" WTF?? Ya..well we're a weird bunch & strange things make us happy eh? ;)
& even this moring at the Gym while doing pec deck I was admiring the muscles that seem to be appearing in the chest & shoulder area... one of the few parts of my body I actually like... So I'm all happy thinking YAY me I'm working hard seeing results & tra lalala .... Well THAT was short lived!
I was doing biceps with the machine pulleys & was checking my form in the mirror & it kinda went like this....
"ok arms are looking good tucked in , shoulders in line, back straight"... - hell I was almost tempted to ditch my hoodie & pretend I was Trac in my sports bra tank...just to see the muscles in my arms!
& then it all came to a crashing HALT... I got down to the side view of my BUTT & legs.....EEEEEEEEEEEEEWWW! that is NOT a pretty thing to look at !! MAN,what is with all the JUNK in my TRUNK??! I wanted to run out of there, break the mirror , crop the picture ...SOMETHING!!!
What is it about lower bodies that seem to be the bane of our existence?? I dunno.. half of me wants to cry cause the reality is soo yucky & where I want to be seems about a thousand miles away...& the other half says Damn Girl you can beat this... hard work , more cardio & less crap in your face WILL fix this... but not today..
hmmmmmm sitting on my Butt here isn't much help is it either??? LOL .. better go do something...

heh, I'm like that too. One minute digging the way I look, the next hating it.
What usually does it for me is seeing myself at a different angle. I get all used to myself from the front, and start to accept that I'm not too bad, but then when I see my profile, I'm like, ugh.
:)
Hey, not to go off topic (I'm sure you look great in the mirror!), what is BetaGen supposed to do for you? I saw your thread on Tracker but didn't see anything about that.
Thanks!
Oh. man I am SO with you on this. My upper body is really taking shape but my butt will NOT improve. It is beyond frustrating. How thin is my upper body and face going to have to get before a half inch will come off my big arse??? I swear, I will be a skeleton with a huge fat booty. I did some extensive research and found out that to get to the size/weight I want I have to lose 5 INCHES off my butt measurement!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! AKK! NO NO, Now, back to the affirmations....Fat comes off in sheets, it works, it works, it works............
Uh-oh, caught me ranting... :D
I am the same way. I'm sure if someone saw me looking at myself and talking..they'd think I was looney! Regardless..stay on track. You are doing awesome. KEEP IT UP!! I'm ready to put my scale and all mirrors in a room together. Seems like I own those circus mirrors that REALLY distort me (at least that's what my excuse is).
Yes, yes, damn mirrors - gotta disagree with the above, they are not your friend. Mirror is in cahoots with scale. I feel the same Pam, one minute, hmmmmmm, okay not too bad. Next pass by the mirror WTF????? you've got to be kidding me?????? Is the mirror a liar or does it tell the real story?????
A bit off topic. My aunt told me a story once. She said you want a real scare?????? She tells me she's cleaning the bathroom one day washing the counter & there was a hand mirror on the counter so she caught a glimpse of her face in it - she said it just about scared the shit out of her; told me to try it; I did. She wasn't kidding!!!!!!!!! Very very scary indeed. Made me think to myself is this what I look like in the "on top position". If so, being on top isn't so appealing afterall LOL. You try the leaning over the hand mirror thing & let us know if gravity has set in with you! ROFL
Oh you guys....Sooo glad I not the only on that thinks about permanently Ignoring the lower half of my body!!
Baaaaaa that's not gonna work is it... so Off I go today to kick the H#^%$ out of it .. !!!
Ps Dub... what in heavens name is a SLAP???
Well whatever you see if different than what I have ever seen of you. I think you always look HOT!
