Default Mirror Madness

I am soooooooooooo depressed!

Here was me thinking 46 lbs and three dress sizes down, I was all slinky like. Then tonight at the gym The Evil Gym Instructor (TM) decided to show me how to do free weights. In front of the mirror because that is apparently necessary

OH MY GOD! I still have a huge *** and a flabby belly.... Just when I thought it was safe to go out in public..... where is my smock!

At least you're going down the way on the scales!!!
It's one thing that's actualoly a bonus about being fat, I can't remember the last time I asked "does my bum look big in this"
1) because I know it does
2) because ALL of me looks big!!
LOL

There is a secret to mirrors in the gym though.........

The mirrors in the gym at the weights end are made for the body builders to look in, so they cheat and make everyone look a bit bigger, to boost the fragile ego of the male body builder.

At my gym, they were fat mirrors at the body building end and at the gym ball and ab cradle and, there were thin mirrors!!

Don't believe the evil mirrors.....

I use mirrors all the time (Tai Chi classes), but must be thoroughly blinkered, as I didn't notice it all piling back on! Mind you, I've learned over the years how to dress so it doesn't show. I realised it was time to go back to WW when last summer's fave trousers strained over my belly! Have finally got the determination to stick at it - astone gone in two months. Trousers still don't fit though
