I hate Mirrors.... Do you hear me? - Weight Loss Message Board

I want to SCREAM! I hate mirrors so dang much! This is my rant! Have you ever had a "skinny" day... you know, you wake up... feeling a little spunky... feeling a little skinnier, just feeling good... so, your nekkid, shaking your tush, maybe doing a little "skinny" dance... then BOOM, your world crashes all around you. Why? Cuz you walk past a STUPID MIRROR! All the sudden every flaw is magnified like a fun house mirror. Now, does my mirror have some sort of cellulite film on it? I know my legs are not as "flabby" as they appear in the mirror... certainly it is a flaw in the mirror and not my legs right? Okay, that is my rant for the day

I think you should sue the manufacturer. Hey, this is America, the land where you can sue if you spill hot coffee in your lap.

I know EXACTLY what you mean! After spending yesterday afternoon in mall store dressing rooms, where the flourescent lighting is brighter than the sun and each dressing room has about a dozen mirrors, I can definitely sympathize! The only good thing is that it gives me motivation when I need it. But dang, yesterday I was feeling great & didn't need the motivation - it ended up pi$$ing me off instead!

Then I felt better because I tried on a pair of pants size 7/8 Junior, and they fit great - maybe even a tiny bit of extra room in the waist! But that feeling was blown away again when I went to another store & tried on a 10 Misses and it was too small. Why can't the manufacturer's all use the same sizing scale? I did try on other stuff & found that usually an 8 or sometimes a 9 fits (didn't need anything larger than a 9 in all the other stuff I tried on), so I think the size 10 I tried on just ran really small.

But back to the mirror thing... I agree with Donuts, you should sue! Mental anguish, you know!

I just hate the whole pant size thing myself.One pair is a small size then you see another brand you like and you have to get it in a larger size...

Have a better day..

Well, the clothing manufacturers figured it out... you know, the size 4 pants today, were the size 8 pants years ago... They know what they are doing. Don't you guys have your "favorite" clothing lines? Like I LOVE Ralph Lauren... his Saturday Jeans! Okay, why? Because I can wear a size 2! LOL! Am I a size 2? HELL NO! But I have a pair of those jeans in every color... if I could wear the tag on the outside I would. I love the way that tag feels against my skin... You know the other thing I do... I have a "threshold"... a size "limit" if you will. I don't care how good it looks on me, that tag makes such a difference. I'm a dork... but I can't be the only one? It is amazing how that one "number", a stupid SIZE can make a woman crazy!!!!! LOL!
