I posted this in 'Man in the mirror' thread
I realised something today, the mirror reflects the expectation.
I was in a boutique and turned by some stairs and saw another woman coming towards me, I smiled and said sorry for nearly barging into her.
It was a mirror.
I think for the first time I saw me as others do because I did not expect to see me!
To be honest I'm rather happy because I not only passed even in my eyes, but I thought she was cute 
This affected me more than I thought. I started to notice that other women looking at me were checking me, as I check them.
I noticed guys looking at me were checking me out as guys look at any woman.
My opinion of myself has changed, I have gone through another self confidence leap (as if I need it
)
Self acceptance is wonderful.
When you have doubts and think people are LOOKING at you, maybe they are. Maybe they are looking at you because you are a woman, and people look at women, it is normal.
Take being looked at as a positive not a 'Oh goddess I've been sprung!' but as a - yes my legs are good aren't they, yes I have a nice skirt, wish you knew where I got it it. Yes I am nice looking aren't I? Glad you appreciate me. Yes keep trying to look at my boobs and you will get eyestrain.
You know something? We are all gorgeous and should never be ashamed of that.
Just thought I'd share.
Cindy feels good!!!
