We can be somewhat more objective &amp; concentrate on the reality of the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-you-dont-like-what-you-see-in-the-mirror#post-1272424 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 22:47:37 +0000 abc 1272424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome. &nbsp;Thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-you-dont-like-what-you-see-in-the-mirror#post-1272338 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 19:45:47 +0000 Debra 1272338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow....I love this </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-you-dont-like-what-you-see-in-the-mirror#post-1272312 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 18:59:42 +0000 LACeleste 1272312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome Caro!!!! &nbsp;Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-you-dont-like-what-you-see-in-the-mirror#post-1272244 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 17:20:43 +0000 Kim 1272244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I wonder if this is why our WIW pictures are so powerful to us?&nbsp; We can "see" in the picture what we "can't see" in the mirror due to our own prejudices, memories, etc.&nbsp; A photograph doesn't have the same effect on our brain, I wonder?&nbsp; Very interesting! Thanks for posting!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-you-dont-like-what-you-see-in-the-mirror#post-1272193 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 15:04:26 +0000 Janet 1272193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! </p> <p>Training our brain to turn around negative thoughts is SO hard to do, but it can be done. It doesn't happen all at once. It's like anything else that we teach ourselves -- it takes practice.</p> <p>We usually see what we expect to see. If we're anticipating feeling bad, we will generally feel bad. If we go somewhere expecting to have a lousy time, we will generally make sure we manifest that expectation. </p> <p>Thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-you-dont-like-what-you-see-in-the-mirror#post-1272184 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 14:55:14 +0000 Angie 1272184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant.&nbsp;</p> <p>And we are in control of what we think.
