No mirrors any place but in the bathrooms for me! I don't want to see me all the time---I KNOW what I look like and thats enough.

I find it interesting though, that people like pictures of themselves that have been photo shopped or tweeked to look better than they really do. People will stand a certain way or even wear clothes that cover up the  bits and pieces( as Jayne Brown calls them) That I think is also a deception. Why is that ok where a mirror is not?  Just a question.

I don't know why anyone would want to fool herself or himself.  I wasn't always 105 pounds.......I've weighed 22 pounds more than that when I was in my partying thirties.  Even then, I always wanted to see the truth in the mirror so I could deal with it.  Burying one's head in the sand will only compound the problems (if any).  I do think that women tend to be harder on themselves than men.....we see every flaw when we look in the mirror, where men tend to see the same handsome. successful guy from 20 years ago...........

I want to see the truth...and as for the skinny mirrors, I will not try on clothes in stores and have not for a few yrs now.

I read on a post here yesterday about "jobs you had that you didn't like", and a poster confirmed my concerns of being watched by male and females on camera...i'd rather take it back if it does not fit.

I would prefer the truth mirror. Btw I was shopping today for a new pair of dress pants for work, and the mirror did not make me look thinner. I still looked liked I had gained 15 pounds - gotta love menopause.

I want the truth.  I even use a 15X mirror in my bathroom so I can see every flaw on my face and neck.  I want to see what other people see when they look at me.  I'm not fooling myself nor do I want to fool anybody else.  As for my body, I've always eaten healthy foods and exercised and still wear the same size now that I did in high school (50 years ago!  eek!).

Always the natural truth.

Authenticity is key for me.

The painful truth-ESPECIALLY trying on clothes! If i buy it cuz it looks good in the store and get home to see its a miss-back it goes or then im befuddled as to how i got fat on the car ride home!

[Desertdi]

I collect old mirrors......for the frames they are in.   Never paid much attention to the glass part............

Especially the "Menopot"; most 'pausal weight gain is in the midsection/torso area. ;-)
