Mirror fasting

I have a friend who won't ever have her photo taken, is that the same?

It wouldn't work for me! I'd spend all day being insecure about whether my hair was a mess!

I very rarely look in a mirror - simply because my appearance is not important to me. My short hair doesn't need styling and I don't wear make-up. I did get a surprise when I saw myself reflected in my French windows, as I have lost two stone and it shows. (Not dieting, just walking.)
I think back with amusement to the days when I had a smooth bob which needed putting into place all the time - as soon as I got into a restaurant or bar I would rush to the Ladies to check that I did not have a hair out of place. It is so relaxing to be a DILLIGAF.

If they won't look in the mirror, how do they get on at the hairdresser's? I enjoy seeing a transformation from scruffy to (reasonably) sleek. It doesn't last, of course.

Apart from hair and face, what about clothes? I like to check that what I've put on actually looks reasonable, especially to go to work in.
Imagine trying to apply makeup without a mirror! (Those of us who wear it)

Yes, you need it for clothes. Even then I often glance down when I go through the gate to make sure I've put it all on!

I tend to wear black trousers and white tee shirts every day, but I doubt if the sheep notice. I used to embarrass my daughter with my eccentric outfits, but after two years in New Zealand she is more tolerant!

Well, I care about my appearance and if that means people think I'm insecure I really don't care.
I broke my wrist 10 years ago and the worst thing apart from not bring able to work (I was self employed) was trying to put my make-up on and do my hair with my left hand!

Well looking at some of the sights around,there does seem to be a lot of
People who dont check before they go out...ooohh meow Nellie

Greatnan I think you should have a new name Dilligaf.

Got told the other day that I was NILTF...

Ps I am always checking in the mirror,back front sideways....vain or what..

I use the mirror as a reality check......

I look in the mirror but I find there are bits I just don't take in any more.

Who was it said that after a certain age, you have to choose between your face and your hips?

I am quite selective in what I see.

I am fascinated by women who take a lipstick from their handbag and proceed to apply it without a mirror, if I did that I would look like Coco the clown.

I don't believe for a minute that wanting to look the best you can, with whatever help you can get, means you are insecure. I used to really enjoy getting ready to go out and seeing the transformation take place. I just lost interest when I stopped having any social life.

I suppose if you had body dismorphic disorder the mirror-avoidance technique might be a useful part of treatment. Or anorexia.

Littlenellie shall I give you an honest answer, or not?

Oh, go on, soop!

Don't tempt me, anno...I love that Nellie

That's NOT then soop

You've stopped having any social life greatnan?
Doesn't having anno to stay count?

I don't think Anno cared about my lack of glamour!

I don't think I qualify as 'social life'!

No, you are much better company!

Flattery!
