I am wearing a springy skirt today, lots of flowers, flowy, and bright. It is finally starting to get warm. My mind isn’t as springy as my outfit and the weather. I am not happy in this outfit and am very self-conscious. I have had numerous comments on my skirt, all good. I was even told it looks like I am losing weight.
I passed a window on the way into the office and thought, “ICK!” I felt and looked so fat. I came into work, got settled, and when visiting the ladies room I saw myself in the full length wall mirror. Huh? I was perplexed. I looked nothing like what I saw just an hour before. I almost looked thin.
So, which reflection is right? Or are either? If I don’t feel it in my head and heart, will either ever be real?
When I was at goal and leading WW meetings, I was shocked by window reflections, but in a positive way. I always thought I looked so thin. Now that I am still trying to lose weight, again, the window seems to be a lie. How is it that it could be so distorted? And if the mirror is making me feel good, then why do I feel bad looking at myself in a window?
Why am I letting this distortion bother me?
I feel better now in my skin than I did this morning. All I can ask is to not let my mood and happiness be determined by a distortion and work to feel better from one moment to the next.
