Link 3 Continued: They also talked to Dr. Phillippa Diedrichs, who is
a psychologist for the Centre of Appearance Research. She claims that mirror
fasting makes one obsess about their appearance more then before. They would have us think to about if it was a trend to boon a woman's self-esteem or was it a total bust? It is from Huffpost Style.
Link 4: Tyra Banks Talks 'Mirror Fasting' - This is a video on ABC News. They talk about the pros and cons of looking in mirrors to be less self-conscuios about themselves. From watching this video it shows that if it is being talked about on the news and by Tyra Banks then it needs to be listened too but that is my own opinion.
Link 5: 'Mirror fasts' force you to look witing for beauty - This article was written by the website, StarTribune. This article once again talks with Autumn Whitefield Madrano and her experience of not looking in a mirror for 31 days straight. Also in the article they talk to Hallie Espel, who was recovering from an eating disorder. She went into a program at the Emily Program in St. Paul. There they build a relationship with mirrors for good not for evaluating her own appearance in it.
I hope that you enjoyed the links that I have found on "Mirror Fasting".
