What was your reaction the first time that you looked in the mirror?
Nicole told me when I looked into the mirror for the first time, it would be difficult. She told me, "When you wake up in the morning and brush your teeth and wash your face, take a second and brace yourself. Know that you are OK and not really going through it." I woke up and thought, "You are OK, you are fine and going through this great experience." I went in the bathroom and I was fine. [But when] I shaved my eyebrows, I had forgotten to brace myself. That was the first time that it really hit me because I didn't recognize who I was. This was the first of many times that I was broken down and spent the next 20 minutes crying and pulled myself together and moved on.
