Great post on fatmanunleashed.com entitled Let’s Start with the Man (or Woman) in the Mirror about the importance of self image with regard to weight loss.

Now, I don’t know about you, but for me THE MIRROR LIES! With my Easy Fitness muscle control exercises I check with the mirror periodically to see if I am performing them correctly.

I usually think I look reasonably ok. Then I see a photograph of myself – OUCH!

I swear that I look at least ten years younger in the mirror than I do in the photograph. How can that be?

No, I’ll tell you what. The mirror is right – it’s the photo that’s lying. My self image is restored!
