First off, I apologize for being a tad snotty in the last post about not wanting advice, etc. There are just sometimes thing that I want to say but then don't want to think too much more about. But I always welcome any comment you'd like to make, even if it is advice.
Now fitting room mirrors. Is it just me or do they make you look 30 times worse then you actually appear. I've been trying on clothes a lot more frequently then I used to. When I'm at home each day I look at myself in the mirror both with clothes on and without - on the back of my bathroom door is a full-length mirror. Anyway, I can see my skin looking tighter, looking more fit, not so many rolls. Now I'm still obese, well for another 8.5 pounds anyway (based on my BMI), but I'm seeing vast improvement. I feel good about what I see, even though I still see way more then I'd like to. But then I go to a store, grab some clothes, go into the fitting room and now all I see is jelly, cottage cheese, and rolls of disgusting fat. How is it that from one mirror to the next I go from liking my progress to feeling majorly depressed. And what is up with the lightening! I look pale and pasty in a fitting room.
I think we should all start a petition that they must put special mirrors in fitting rooms to make us all feel more confident and beautiful.
ARe you with me? Or maybe I'll just shop online and become an excellent return shipper.

You know, if a store installed flattering lighting in its fitting rooms, it would do a BOOMING business! It is that florescent lighting that is so terrible. Trying a bathing suit in those rooms is the worst!
They are terrible. You know my size and I look saggy, baggy, and cellulity in fitting room mirrors. I also look like someone beat my legs with a stick.
In the Red Lobster in Cedar Rapids they have soft pink lights (they used to anyway) and when you looked in the mirror you looked absolutely fabulous. I think they did that to get people to order more drinks and of course choose to eat at Red Lobster because it's where you look best. I guess that's what it means to see things through rose colored glasses.
Maybe we should all road trip to Cedar Rapids a couple times a year and eat at Red Lobster! =)
