self-perception is weird
Aug. 10th, 2011 08:38 pmI keep looking at myself in the mirror and going "Where the heck was I storing all that extra weight?"
And then I look at old pictures--from my wedding, or Michele's little sister just tagged me in one from Michele's wedding--and I'm like Oh, there it is.
I don't remember looking like that.
Thinking back to where I was at weight-wise when I was in college, I understand now why people were honestly surprised when they realized "Oh hey, you actually are smart." Not that there actually is a connection between fat cells and brain cells, I know this, but, well, assumptions are made based on appearances, even by myself, admittedly.
(I think this is why I like the internet--for better or for worse, you're 100% in control of how you present yourself.)
