Mirror double take

I walked by a mirror today and had to do a double take - I didn't recognize my shape!!!

My shoulders are now angular and a bit pointy. Can't wait for my collar bones to reappear.

Anyone else have that happen - not recognize your shape?

    That is such a great feeling, WTG!
  • I had it happen in the reverse sense and that's when I decided that I really needed to take matters in hand! Caught a glimpse of myself and thought "Oh my goodness, that's my mother's body!!" ;-)

    Congrats to you!

    I have to look twice now, but sadly, in my head I still see the 'fattest' version of me...... going to take an awfully long time to resolve that one, if ever!
  • Chatterbox, Keep up the good work.

    Nice usage and choice of the word angular.

    I always wonder who the heck that skinny guy in the mirror is.
  • Had that issue today at the gym... Kept on thinking that my legs looked smaller as I zumba'd away. Which is odd because I've been at the same weight for over a month :s might be muscle... Might be the new pants, LOL. Either way, Gonna get the same pants in another colour, I liked the visual effect :D
