All I see are flaws..

also if you have the chance you should read the book "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne. It might help some

I'll save you some time - think positively and good things will happen

You're welcome.

On a serious note though - if you really hate looking in the mirror - use it as the motivator it should be. That's exactly what I do.

Just put a post earlier on about this actually - but it was based around the quote from Scrubs

Dr. Cox: The key to my exercise program is this one simple truth: I hate my body....Do you understand the second you look in the mirror and you're happy with what you see, baby, you just lost the battle.

not totally healthy as an approach, but it works for me!

I feel so much better after reading all of your responses. THANK YOU!!

I am going to stick a post-it on the mirror in my bathroom that says "You are beautiful" and see how that changes how I feel about myself. I know I need to tell myself nicer things more often. I have put myself down so much that it is all I believe.

I took a shower this morning, put on a little bit of makeup and did my hair, dressed up a little bit and I did feel pretty good. I smiled a little inside. :blushing:

I am going to keep busting my butt at the gym, and get to where I want to be and just continue to improve my body and mind, and most of all keep in touch with all you wonderful people on MFP to help me through! Love you all!

It will work!!
