This is my very first BLOG
I named this “Beyond the Looking Glass” because all of my life I’ve been upset with my image. I was never ever satisfied with the way I looked. My mother was beautiful and used her beauty to attract and flirt with men. People always thought she was my sister and I felt ugly compared with her. I was always very tall, (5′11″) and for a long time was pretty thin, but I have a long face and “buck” teeth (these were fixed twice, but my mouth still does not close all of the way.) Now I am aout 25 pounds over my ideal wieght and I have been trying to lose for about 5-7 years off and on. Anyway, I hate mirrors and cameras - which is funny, because photography is one of my passions. I just like to tbe the one taking the photos.
Anyway, lately I’m beginning to feel better about what I look like. I’ve lost 13 pounds and am about 20 to goal. I ended up married to a guy who is 5 inches shorter than me (almost 30 years now) so I am no longer self conscious about my height…although I am shrinking.
There is much more to who I am then what shows in a mirror. This blog will remidn me of that…so here I am.
