the eyes lie

[ladymidnight]

As I was getting ready for work today, I looked over at the mirror and thought, "Oh! I look good today." The thought was mostly about my outfit, but it included the whole picture. The only problem is, I had thoughts like that 25, 50, and 100 pounds ago, and now I look back on that and think, "How could I possibly have thought I looked good like that??" So today I discovered a whole new twist on not believing the mirror, only now it's that I believe that a positive self-evaluation could be objectively accurate. I know in the end it all comes down to trust, except I'm not sure how to start trusting myself again.
