I know what you're talking about, especially the part about mirrors and perspectives.
If I'm in the mirror-lined gym surrounded by a bunch of skinny broads on treadmills, I feel huge. If I'm surrounded by a bunch of weight-lifting muscle-head guys, I feel tiny. I feel most comfortable looking at my mirror here in my own room. When I look in that mirror, I feel confident and downright gorgeous. Then I'll catch a glimpse of myself in a reflection off a window going to class, with sorority belles and fashionistas all around, and I'm like, "Damn, Sabrina, you're a joke compared to these ladies." So yeah. It's all about perspective.
I feel fat or normal sized depending on what stores I'm shopping in...if I'm at an Old Navy that has sizes from 0-22, I feel nice and average. If I'm rummaging through the racks at somewhere like Abercrombie or American Eagle, where my size (10-12) is the highest one they carry....I feel abnormally fat. Of course, I don't shop places like that anymore. I much prefer stores that carry a variety of sizes, in a variety of legnths. Sorry, Abercrombie, but very few people are a size 4 Tall.
Really interesting thread, anti fishtick. Hope I didn't get too off topic.
