How often do you look in the mirror and think you look good?

[Ridingaroundonbuses]

After years of being a mirror avoider I have started looking in the mirror. A significant amount of weight-loss has helped but now I am not frightened to look in the mirror. After a recent short period of thinking I look rubbish I have looked in the mirror quite often in recent weeks and thought I have nice skin/ makeup/ look good in my outfit or all three.

That’s lovely op 😊
We should all be less self critical
I, however, rarely look good, although I did think my mascara application today made my eyes look fab.

@WishICouldWinnow I think it’s the little things sometimes and celebrating the small ‘wins’ be it nice makeup or hair etc! I’ve spend the majority of my life being self critical and it’s a hard mindset to get out of.

I’ve a really good backlit bathroom mirror. I look amazing every day. Then I see myself in a shop window reflection and wonder who the tired eye-baggy lady is.

From the chin up, I like what I see every day. From the double chin down, it’s unspeakable, truly awful, until the feet, which are nice.
