Why do gym mirrors make me look so FAT?

Or is just that I really AM that fat?
Two years ago, when I was a regular my local gym, I looked much slimmer and was much fitter. I was three stone lighter when I started working out two years ago than I am now.
I lost another couple of stone that year, then let my membership lapse and ... put it all back on again!
So now I'm back at the gym, three weeks now, and wow, I look so much fatter in those mirrored walls than I remember. No mirrors at home except a face mirror in the bathroom, so it's a bit of a shock to see myself in all my large and wobbly glory. Nearly sixteen stone ...
But it's like the reality of a Tory Prime Minister. it needs to be faced, yes?

Poor, but Consistent!
Did a 3km walk-run tonight, and was disappointed by the 27 minute time, as I felt that I'd worked really hard. But looking at my last run, on Saturday, that...

zuzihutt 'I think, that they secretly instal into every gym a mirror, which makes you look fat, so that you come more often. Seriously. Every morning, when I am there, I feel like I am like a balloon..... although my partner keeps saying that I look great. So it is a conspiration of gyms....they want us to come more often. I bet you look drop dead gorgeous!!!!' added 12th May 2010
