Lying Mirror.


Does anyone have one of these? - A mirror that lies to you about how you look and makes you look slimmer and better than other mirrors?

I do! It makes me feel sooo good and then when I walk by another and I look fat, it makes me mad.

Oh God yeah - there is one at my mums and everytime I look in it I'm all 'why are you worrying about your weight, look at that bum '

They should be illegal

I'm totally feeling you! We have a mirror in the front room that hangs off the wall at an angle so slims you and so you leave the house then catch your reflection in a shop window or something and want the floor to swallow you up!

ALL REFLECTIVE SURFACES lie to me. I don't get it. I'll see myself in mirrors and reflective windows and just about anything ad think "Damn! I look good!" and then I'll see a picture or video of me from the same day and think I look like a horrible cow!

You know that body dis-morphia anorexic people have? Where they look in the mirror and see a fat girl even if they are skinny? I think I have the reverse!
