Hi all,
although I'm not a new member I haven't been around for a while so I'll just introduce myself again. I live in Rome, Italy (where all the good food is), I'm 30 and I have two children. When I was here last I was married, now I'm separated.
I've just finished reading Crammagirl's "image in the mirror" and must say that I've experienced the same thing thousands of times. It's horrible, I know. I also have another problem: I could look great to myself at say 8:00 a.m -- I mean, really content with what I see-- only to meet with a monster image in the mirror at 2:00 p.m., for example. Does anyone else experience this? It's impossible for any physical change to have occurred in such a short period, so I know the problem is psychological, but which image is the real image? Am I fooling myself by thinking I look good at 8:00 a.m. or am I too down on myself by thinking I'm a monster at 2:00p.m.?
I'd really appreciate any thoughts.
