Gym mirrors either motivate or discourage me.
19 09 2007I was working out today and feeling great and getting in the groove. After I was on the treadmill for about 40 minutes and the elliptical for about 15 minutes, I quickly ran over to the Boot camp class to get my sculpt on. Anyways, while I was working out I was looking at the mirror a few times and I look bigger than I thought I was. It kind of discouraged me, yet motivated me to work out harder to loose the extra poundage.
In class, I was stretching and thought I looked like this…
but when I looked in the mirror, I looked like this…
Either gym mirrors add 20 pounds or I always looked like this. Maybe I have reverse body dysmorphia where I think I look fine but I look worse.
