Nurse_Lenora 903 Posted March 4, 2016 So I'm pretty sure every mirror I have looked in lately is broken...I am not sure who the heck that person is starting back at me! It's crazy the changes I see with only having lost 40lbs so far! I can't even fathom what I will loom like at my goal weight .... Am I the only one with a "broken" mirror?!?

RILEYSMOM22 344 Posted March 4, 2016 I keep wondering why my sleeves are soooo long suddenly. Apparently I have lost in the shoulder area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogofulm 2,440 Posted March 4, 2016 Your mirror's not broken, your old habits are. Congratulations!!! Trust that the person you see in the mirror is the new you. Don't forget about the old person with the bad eating habits, but don't keep looking back over your shoulder either. That person doesn't exist anymore. Enjoy your reflection and use it as incentive to keep making good choices. Believe it, embrace it, and love it!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snickysnack78 131 Posted March 4, 2016 I think my mirror lives on a different planet. I don't know the person I see in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Kate_ 2,224 Posted March 5, 2016 We went to the theatre to see a play last weekend and off I toodles to the loo before it started. I saw a woman washing her hands at the sinks on the other side of the room and in a split second I thought, 'goodness her legs look good and such a tiny tush' THEN I realised down the long hallway of sinks, in the ceiling to floor mirror was MY reflection. I swear to God, I still can't get my head round it! People keep telling me I look good but to me, well my head needs to catch up with my body, when it comes to believing how well I have done. I bought a pair of size 12 (uk) and 8 (USA) jeans last month and i love wearing them !! Kate P.S Must get my eyes tested Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheProfessor 378 Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) My WLS-supportive physician advised me to take a photo of myself in the mirror every Friday. I have been doing that for 14 months. The changes are astonishing. Like you, I cannot believe the person I see now in the mirror is the same woman from before. And it's only going to keep getting better as I go for those last 40 pounds! Woo weeeeeee! Edited March 5, 2016 by TheProfessor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
