I guess maybe I'm just too old to be really into the body image thing anymore. If I can get to the size I want I'm going to be happy! My body will still be flabby in spots--it will sag here and there, but the important thing is that I feel soooo much better now than before LC.
I know it can get completely depressing looking in mirrors, and this is one reason why I don't look often. I learned from past experience that no matter how thin I was (I weighed 139 at my very least, wearing a size 8/10, and had these absolutely huge honkin' hips that would never leave!) it wasn't going to be enough. I finally learned I had to live with the flaws.
I usually only check out a mirror once or twice a week, and then if only necessary. Of course I look in the fitting room to see if the clothes look halfway decent. Then I go 'Woah! A few months back I was a LOT bigger than I am now!' LOL
