Both a lot and rarely.
A lot: When I'm running on the treadmill, I will focus on watching my reflection in the window or the TV screen in front of me. The elevator in my building is totally mirrors and I like to look at the backside of me, since I rarely can see it.
Rarely: I'm the person who goes all day with spinach in their teeth. I "style" my hair by running my fingers through it or putting it in a ponytail. I will sometimes find I have some giant knot it in from sleep about 4 hours into my workday. I don't wear makeup except for special occasions.
When I look in the mirror often, all I can see are the parts I hate and it makes me think I must be the ugliest person the average person sees in a day. I start making lists of all the parts about me that are "wrong."
I'd like to get to that point where I am styling my hair again and wearing makeup but I just don't feel like right now is the right time. I think mentally I have it in my head when I lose enough weight that my clothes no longer fit and I have to buy new ones... new clothes, new makeup, new haircut, new person. ... er, Right?
