I think I am a realist about most things. Facts are facts, and history does often repeat itself. This conversation with myself is not going in the direction you may expect.
Having said all of that, why…..
When I see myself walking by the mirror or on my camera I see a large woman. I know how much I weigh, more importantly I know what size I am, because I buy my clothes! I am not a big person. As an adult I have had a 60lb weight swing. I have weighed between 100 and 160 lbs. I have been very out of shape. I have also been very healthy and in excellent shape with lots of muscle. I have also been very weak and small with no muscle.
But why when I see myself do I always see a different person than I know is there?
In a strange twist to this, when I see old pictures of myself, doesn’t matter if it’s 1 year or 30 years, I think I see myself more accurately. I am perfectly happy with my old selves.
Ego & Image are so easily skewed.
