Mirror Mirror?

Have you ever caught sight of yourself in a mirror and thought, "Is that what I look like?". Well, if you're like me, and I know I am, you have. It happened the other day as my first baby was trying on outfits for senior pictures. I saw myself in the mirror and thought, "That's what I look like, huh." It's quite off putting. I have had to look at my own face for putting on makeup but a deep look in the mirror reminds me that I'm bigger than I should be. Also, not as youthful as I was twenty years ago.

Here's where I hear you say, Mel, no one looks now what they looked like twenty years ago and to that I say, "have you seen my mom?" If you haven't, then you aren't a close friend or relative and maybe this blog is actually popular-ish. Thank you. I guess that means I'll have to write more. I'm getting to the age where I have to ask myself some serious questions like "Just how much food are you willing to not eat to look better?"

I ask you dear reader; is ten pounds worth no more sweets? Is less pasta worth ten more? Of course not! Still...I did use to look much better than this and I don't want to end up looking like Santa's wife in twenty more years. So then, what must I do? Probably just write more, realistically, but saying no to some food wouldn't hurt. Especially now as Thanksgiving looms like a dark and delicious cloud over the horizon. Excuse me, I think I see a me in the mirror.
