Just make sure you don't look in a hand mirror if it's just laying on the counter. Looking straight down is a LOT worse! The only part of my body I can't exercise is my face.

Reflections on Bike
Never let anyone take a photo of you from behind you, as you bend over looking for shells.

I had a repeating experience for over three months when we first bought our present home. A fat old man was following me from the shower and watching me dress ever morning. No matter what I did he followed me. It was horrible. I did find a solution ... I moved the mirror on the front of my closet door to the back of the door. This out foxed the old coot ... I have never seen him again.
"It's not how old you are it's how old you feel" ... what idiot came up with that gem.

Still not bothered by how I look in the mirror. Hair thinner and getting gray, faced lined, loose skin at the belly (and around back) that didn't tighten after I lost the excess weight. But yestd., even with a wounded knee, rode with a junior (24 y.o.) colleague from work who is a pretty serious mountain biker, on the road for 30 mi., he remarked as we were finishing, "O.K. You win!". Never going to see that in your reflection. That's what we gain @ 50+ by doing what we do on our bikes!
I'm not comepletely pleased by how I look in the mirror but being fit makes a big difference.

Don't mince words
I prefer "it's not how old you are, it's how you are old." I don't know whom to credit for that.
Denial is a deep river. As long as I feel like I'm still 27, then in my mind I am 27. Mirrors, shmirrors.
