lookin in the mirror

Am I the only vain one in the crowd or do you all find yourselves looking in the mirror a lot? I am so happy with the person I see looking back at me that I can't help but look all the time.....does this make me selfish and vain????

Well if it makes you selfish and vain, then I am too!  I look in mirrors ALL the time now.  Weird considering I used to avoid mirrors like the plague.  Especially whe I am all dressed up - I stare at myself.  Sometimes because I know how good I look (talk about being vain) and sometimes because I can't believe the person in the mirror IS me.

I tend to look at pictures of myself more than usual as well - or at least want to be IN pictures now.

I don't think of myself as vain.. I'm just tryin'to get used to the new face that's looking back at me......

Are you kidding???  Bring on the mirrors, bring on the car windows that you can see a reflection in, bring on the tall skyscrapers downtown that show your reflecion so well!!!  I love looking at myself too!!!  Probably because I've never seen myself look so thin.  So be vain all you want...go for it....look and look some more :)

Yep, me too.  Sometimes I look and TALK to myself.  I usually say "who the hell are you?"  I don't consider it vain....I consider it happy.

hee hee...I talk to myself in the mirrors all the time, too!!  so....we are a bunch of self talking vain post ops wondering around here.  No wonder why the world thinks this surgery is "crazy"  Look at what the rest of the world is looking at...people talking to themselves in front of mirrors...in dressing rooms...coming out of dressing rooms crying....what a sight we must be!

Not vain at all. I'm always doing it. I'll go into my daughters' room, or over to my mom's house cause they have the full-lendth mirror, and I'm amzed at how I look. I need to look at myself a lot to get all this to begin to sink in.

No you are not vain!  Just proud!!  I look in the mirror at my face all the time, every time I go in to the bathroom, I look!!!  I don't have any mirrors in my house that show below my shoulders, which may be a good thing!!  I was thinking yesterday how bad that was, because I don't really see how much weight I've lost!

I tried on 2 dresses tonight, I had to go by what my DH says they looked like!!

Katie,
I look in the mirror all the time too, I'll retrace my steps in a store just to get a second look at myself. I get such a kick out of looking normal!

I don't look a lot on purpose (as in seeking out mirrors) but trust me, if I pass one I'm definitely checking myself out. I haven't weighed this little in almost 30 years so its a very fun thing to see! And years ago I got rid of all my full length mirrors - now I wish I had one! And its not all vanity - I think a lot of it is seeing that this is the first thing that has ever really worked for me in getting rid of so much weight and its nice to know that all the frustrating times and tough times are paying off in the end.

And hey, a little vanity never hurt anybody, right?!
