I must cut back on cake. Maybe I’ll start eating Cumberland Sausages like Dotty Head Banger. The jeans that I buy that flatter an old woman’s shape can only work but so much to do the trick…
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I would be visiting my lovely sister and her family in MA tomorrow. They are not Luddites like me. They have a nice modern camera. I want them to take pictures of me so that I can see truthfully how big my ass is.
There’s a strange mechanism in the brain that clicks in when you’re at home. The mechanism is for survival. It controls the image in your mirror at home, displaying you in a way that’s not so fat, so that you feel more confident when you go outside. But in the bathroom at work, you look in the full length mirror and say, “What the hell is this shit?!”
This has been a vain post by Sandee Harris.

I don’t think I have one of those strange mechanism at home in my bathroom either ;-(
If I didn’t have one, I’d never go out Carla! Ahahahaha!
When I get on my bathroom scale, it actually laughs at me. Mocking laugh, too. My scale is an asshole.
That’s funny Fred — that’s right it is an asshole!! But at least you lost some weight!
Yeah. I was doing well a couple of months ago then stopped dropping. In total, I’ve lost 10lbs so far. Hoping for another 10 within the next 3-4 weeks. Fucking scale can bite me.
Ten lbs is substantial but I know how you feel when the momentum slows down.
My mechanism says “Seriously? You’re kidding, right?”
lol! Sometimes…I guess it’s a losing battle. Sometimes I just have to say — enjoy the cake, enjoy the cake!
I want to roundhouse kick my full length mirror almost daily.
The image of this is hilarious! Round house kicking anything is hilarious!
um, EXACTLY.
fucking evil mirrors.
Sometimes I think we’d be better off with a carnival mirror — one that distorts everything…
The bathroom at my work makes everyone look like a zombie. It is the cruelest powder room on the west coast.
See for me that’d be kinda cool — I’m a huge zombie fan — I tried signing up to be one in the Zombie Run but they spaces were all filled — I’d settle for just looking like one!
Do like Dotty. Get rid of your mirrors 🙂
Oh yeah, that’s right she did do that didn’t she — not a bad idea! It may just come to that!
Mirrors can be such a pain. To me, it seems like from the moment you get the idea, you’re not happy with what you see in the mirror, it just gets worse every time you look. I only use my mirror on days when I like what I see.
That’s true they are a pain and the image is not real — sometimes I think it would be cool to not use one, kind of hip — just rely on good energy to make you feel good. But this is such an image conscious world — I don’t know how long that’d last! Maybe I could pull it off for a couple of days then I’d just be too damn tempted to look.
it is the fluorescent lighting which is unkind
These lights should be banned!
