I had an interesting moment in class. We were doing the triangle pose and I caught a glimpse in the mirror and was admiring someone's amazing leg muscles (quads) and then I realized I was looking at myself! I always frown upon my legs because they are anything but small, but they are STRONG and muscular!

For a minute there, you saw what other people see, not what you've superimposed over yourself.

It's so hard to catch one of those glimpses.

It's so hard not to look at ourselves like a dog show judge -- not to immediately start some new self-improvement plan.

How true how true , I got back from running 10 miles on Sunday my husband said you are looking skinny...I looked in the mirror and see that I am very lean and muscular {maybe even like Kelly Coffey Meyer who has always been my ideal only I am 15 or more years older!}

As usual-- wise words from you. I tried to look at myself objectively the other day and see what parts of my body I think look alright. I decided that my arms, upper chest/back are fine. It is basically my tummy area that I really don't like..... below the tummy is okay-- not great-- but okay. So, I tried to be the optimist and tell myself that there is more that I like than don't like. Unfortunately, our tummies are always right there and easy to see and criticize.
