There's a huge mirror in our lobby and I'm forced to look at it almost every day. I usually think to myself, "ugh, stand up straight." Plus I mentally lament how bummy I'm dressed.
When you look in the mirror, what do you usually think to yourself?

Dam I aged. .I should go for a run.
They don't go together but that's what goes through my mind
-
I wish I didn't have to wash my hair every day. This is usually first thing in the morning.
-
I'm Old!
-
Lately it's just been "oh my god your stomach is huge!" But this morning it was "your stomach will never be this huge again!"
-
Damn that girl looks tired!!!
-
Ugh, I wish I could be thinner!
-
@mediagirl: girl, I am so with you on the hair! I curse mine every morning.
Not too shabby I spose. And damn, that girl is pasty.
-
@twodoghouse: so exciting!!
I always think "self, you'd be so much prettier if you lost ten pounds." Ugh.
-
If it's at work, I usually thinking "Looking good!" unless I think "OMG, what is my hair doing???"
But at home when I don't get all dolled up and put on flattering clothes, it's usually more along the lines of "Wow, you look tired" or "Wow, am I really that pale?" or "OMG, why do I keep wearing this??? It looks terrible on me!"
-
Stand up straight and suck it in! And I'm always wondering when my hair got so flat and limp.
Also, our bathroom mirror is super unflattering, so if I catch sight of myself in a different mirror, I'm usually happily surprised at how I look -
Urg, I need to lose weight.
-
Usually I'm torn between "Well. This is as good as it's gonna get." and an urge to giggle at myself.
-
Not too bad!
-
I think "God, I look fat". Or "Wow, I look old".
-
"who's that??! omg, no"
jk, but sometimes..
-
Lately I think.... "Oh no! My face!"
Since I have been pregnant I have developed really terrible skin. My cheeks are almost always flaming red and spotted. It's terrible, and always looks worse than I expect it to! -
Lately, because I'm pregnant for the first time, it's "wow i did not know my stomach could get this big."
-
@Adira: hahaha! Same! At work I put effort into how I look because I am around the public all the time. At home? Uh, no. Ugly sweats. No bra. No makeup. It's rough haha!!!
-
"nice makeup and hair. but what in that actual f**k happened to my body?"
-
I'm just digging this whole new motherhood thing, so when I see myself in the mirror it's mostly a lot of "Heck yeah! Not bad for 10 weeks pp. Sure, your tummy's still a little big, but check out those boobs!" LOL!
-
DH always tells me I look so cute that I think I must look great then I look in the mirror and am shocked that my hair is a mess and I look all kinds of tired and not cute
-
I don't even think anything anymore. I kinda look without seeing.
-
My first thought is usually "dude you need to pluck those eyebrows!"
My second thought is how much I like the blush I splurged on.
It helps to not have a full length mirror in the house!
-
@mrsrain: me too
Ugh my poor skin, then normally a rant about how I'm not a glowing pregnant lady as I thought I would be!
-
I'm usually surprised that my hair is still looking pretty good.
-
My first thought is usually that I'm SO white..sooooo sooooo pale. Then it's about the bags under my eyes. I'm trying really hard to be less self critical lately though. It's really difficult for me but I feel like it's so important for my kids.
-
Time to diet and work out!
-
Something akin to, "Hey I don't really look like I *just* had a baby!" and then I move on to noticing how my lower abdomen changed, and how I hope I can change it with diet and exercise.
-
"I really need to get rid of these mirrors."
-
Honestly? "Blech" is generally what I'm thinking. Lately it's been examining my stomach for stretch marks, and hoping they don't appear the more pregnant I get.
-
@mrsrain and @Mrs tartan: thank GOD I'm not the only one without the elusive "glow"! My face hasn't gotten too too bad, but my back
I'm in the third trimester in summer in NC, and I have no clue what how to avoid people seeing how disgusting it's become without burning up.
-
I think "you really need to put some makeup on"....
-
Full length and I think "ugh. I still have so much weight to lose"... just the head and I think "ooh, I looked like I've caught a tan" -- at least lately anyway!
-
"Stand up straighter ... Shoulders back.. Great, now I look like I'm sticking out my boobs. Reese, you are so awkward. Work on your bitchy resting face.. Now smiling looks weird. How do people NOT look bitchy when resting their face.... Fuck it."
-
@Reese: Me too, I look so bitchy/mad when I'm not smiling!
My thoughts are usually "Man you really need to get your hair done", and "Wow you need to more sleep!"
-
If I've put myself together that day, its usually "not too bad! Pretty good even!"
If I haven't, I think I look old and tired. Sigh.
-
Holy crap.
-
"Schedule your hair appointment" and "my legs look rough." I've always got bruises and scrapes on my knees from doing girl push-ups and right now I've got a giant bruise from running into the tailgate on DH's truck.
-
Honestly, I think I look good. Tired, hair is a disaster....but I'm pretty happy with myself at this point. Took while to get here, but I'm glad I made it. I wasted way too much time tearing myself apart.
