People in western culture are bombarded with messages about how they "should" look and what kind of person they "should" be. As we try to reach these expectations we drain our time, energy and the contents of our wallets! When we find it's impossible to look the way we're told we "should look" we can find ourselves thinking, "I look terrible".

If you can relate to the above saying, you are not alone. Thousands of women and an increasing number of men look in the mirror everyday and hate what they see. I chose to use the phrase "Mirror, mirror on the wall" because I first heard it used in a fairy tale. Fairy tales are not real, just like the image you see staring back at you in that mirror is not real. When you look in the mirror, you are seeing what your eating disorder wants you to see; you are not seeing the true picture.
