So I had another run-in with a skinny mirror - at the Reebok store. So Im trying on shorts to wear at the gym, which by the way is a big step for me because for the most part I havent worn shorts in public in like 10 years, and I look AMAZING in these shorts. Wow! Im thinking my workouts have really paid off - then it hits me...of course, this is a skinny mirror! I looked behind the mirror because i read up on these things and apparently if they tilt the mirrors ever so slightly you look thinner. Sure enough, the mirror was closer to the wall in the middle than on the top and bottom - only about 1/4 of an inch. 1/4 of an inch shouldnt matter that much, right. No, Im thinking, I cant look this good. I bought the shorts anyway. When I got home i tried them on and got in front of my fat mirror. Suprisingly, I didnt look that bad. Actually I still looked kind of good, but not as good as in the store. I looked behind my mirror. The top and bottom were actually closer to the wall than the middle because of the way that it is fastened to the wall - the opposite of the skinny mirror...so it really is a FAT mirror!
So....what is my conclusion? If I looked awesome in the skinny mirror and not too bad in the fat mirror then Im somewhere in between...do I acutally look pretty good??
My hard work and dedication to my gym class and nightly mini-workouts is paying off!! Hooray!
I do however still want to look the way I looked in the skinny mirror...now if only they can make a mirror that gets rid of cellulite! (actually that is starting to disappear too!)
So that was Summer…
