The Mirror Has Two Faces

So I was perusing Weight Watchers, trying to get up the motivation to maintain logging my points.  I have been down on myself lately, and I have been obsessing about the little things, or what I perceive to be big things, in the mirror.  I was good yesterday ... even with the pizza and sangria I stayed on target.  Today I had a good breakfast that was only 2.5 points, so that made me feel better too.  I was looking around for further motivation, when I stumbled across the story of a Latina woman who is 5'4" and used to weigh 177 pounds.  She now weighs 135 pounds, and she looks fabulous.  I am also Latina, 5'4" and I weigh 133 pounds.  I was looking at her, and (Carrie Bradshaw moment) I couldn't help but wonder, when it comes to what's reflected in the mirror, is seeing really believing?  When I have looked at my reflection, I haven't seen myself like I saw that woman.  It was good to see someone else who is like me and who I thought looked good.  It made me open to believing that I might look good too.
