The mirror LIES

I am having issues today with the mirror - I feel that it is playing games with me! Evil mind games and messing with my head!!!

I look in the mirror one minute and I feel like I look healthy, not too large, but healthy. Then ten minutes later I look in the mirror again, and BAM I've gained 20 pounds. It's ridiculous and obviously my mind is messing with me. Every mirror, every reflection in a window or door or even my shadow is just so frustrating! It can't be accurate when every time I look I see something different.

Basically I've come to this conclusion: The mirror LIES. It lies. It makes you believe things about yourself that are just not true. You may look in the mirror and think you're fat, that you're ugly, that you need to lose 5 lbs, that you have acne, that you have freckles, that your hair is a mess.... and you know what? Humans are imperfect. You are going to have flaws and blemishes and the mirror shows those things and shoves them in your face. But the mirror is wrong. No matter what, you are beautiful. I've said it so many times before... black, white, fat, thin, tall, short, freckles, pimples, curly hair, straight hair, blonde hair, dark hair, light skin, dark skin... you are BEAUTIFUL. Don't believe the mirror's lies. And if the mirror is messing with you, just ignore it all together! You don't have to let the mirror have power over you.

I am going to avoid the mirror for the rest of the day I think. It just isn't worth the agony and annoyance and frustration. We will see how that works out.
