Have you ever noticed that when you stand in front of a mirror, if you stand close enough everything looks a little better. There's that great downward angle that makes you think your thighs are slender and makes you ignore any "muffin-topping" that is probably occurring because you refuse to give in to the suggestion that maybe you have outgrown your pants? No? I guess it's just me then.
Somehow, I manage to trick myself into thinking that while I have gained 22.5 lbs, no one is able to detect it. I am a magician - I can delude msyelf into truly not seeing how my body has changed... until the smoke and mirrors (literally) are gone, and I am forced to review current photos of my body.
Suddenly my thighs are three times as large as I thought they were. My waist, much wider; my arms, much thicker. Oh lord. It is a terrible surprise. But I swear I'm going to get back down to where I was. I want to be happy about what I see in pictures again. No more fake out.
