Oh yes, the dreaded full length mirror. How about seeing yourself right out of the shower...without the towel!
But, I know it won't always be this way. Day by day, that fat old lady is getting a bit smaller.

Yes but for some sad reason awful pics of myself are not that motivating to me, why is that?

I used to think also that if I put up an awful picture of myself on the refridgerator at home that I would feel less compelled to eat. It was more like the other way around. I still cringe at the thought of being in a photo because I know that I will not like what I see. I hate looking at myself in the mirror as well.

Yep. Been there. Done that. Getting out of the shower. Ugh! But I've made a decision recently to love my flesh - all of it - and love myself more. I still hate seeing myself in pictures, but I'm going to put myself in them anyway because others want to see me and love me for me. That makes me feel good. Don't get me wrong - I still have those "OH MY GOD WHERE DID THAT ROLL OF FAT COME FROM?!" moments!

YES! Especially pictures taken at family events or parties. I "dress up" and do my makeup and think that I look really good. I have a wonderful time thinking how great I look. I then see the pics and freak out, did I really look that aweful? How could I have thought I looked good? It is so depressing!

i do that practically every day. i won't let people take pictures of me, unless they're just of my face. and if i hate the angle, i'll make them do it again.

i have to make a very conscious effort to not judge. th emore i judge, the bigger i get. so i'm starting there.

I caught a glimpse of myself in the sideview mirror of our car and was shocked at how big my double chin had gotten! Yikes!

I don't like mirrors much but sometimes I can stand in front of a mirror and think I don't look that bad weight wise. Then I can get in front of another mirror and think, dear god what happened. I'm working on weight loss now and it's amazing how you can lose weight and now you have stretch marks to deal with. But you hang in there, they say it starts with acceptance. But I would honestly like to know what I look like with a honest mirror, then have somebody say something negative to me. I have tons of weight to lose but I'm finally on the right path. I'll be interested to see what everyone posts about this. You take good care of yourself.

I feel the same way!!! Funny when I am say at the mall and I know a mirror is approaching I will get into a right pose, fix myself (may I add before I go to the mirror) and make sure that I won't be too appauled. Funny. Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the fattest of them all? That about sums it up for me. Well not really but I had to make a funny, if we can't laugh well then what? Hugs to you all. Denise

Yes I cant stand looking at myself in the mirror either, and pictures are definitely a no no for me.

every mirror i see i or window i can see a reflection in i glimps just so i can see what others are seeing that moment i am so discusted in my self for letting me get like this

Yeah. ever since I moved to NYC I hate myself even more, there are mirrors everywhere! The hallway in to school every morning, is all mirrors . It's stinks.

i so know how you feel, i hate looking at myself in the mirror and getting my picture taken, even if i am all by myself i still feel so embarrised.

i had a mirror door open on my wardrobe and as i was putting ironing away saw myself from every angle i couldnt beleive what i was seeing i stood and stared .i was so upset about it.still am.

Daily!!! :(
And I hate going to the hair dressers. I know exactly what you mean.
