11. “I Look Like My Mother!”
It finally happens. You look in the mirror and see your mother staring back at you. When and how did this happen?! You must be the last one on the planet to notice. When you were a teenager it drove you nuts when you would hear, “You look so much like your mother!” then they would always turn to your mother and say “You two could be sisters!”. You would’ve rather heard nails on a chalkboard than hear that!
Now that you are older and more mature you remind yourself that your mother is a beautiful woman and your resemblance is a good thing…or is it? Oh the inner turmoil. You will dye your hair! That must be it. It’s the hair color. Wait—it’s the thighs! It has to be the thighs. You’ll start Pilates next week and a gluten free, sugar free, carb free— heck, just make it a food free diet immediately.
