a rare picture

it's not often that one sees a full length shot of me in my photo stream... mainly because I rarely use my big heavy tripod to take self portraits. (I have to get a small one sometime). I had a friend take this of me at the end of July of this year.

 

Part of me wanted to take this picture to prove to myself that I'm not as fat as I think I am. In the bathroom mirror with no clothes I'm not very happy with what I see. I think I carry that image with me and assume everyone else sees it too. Then I look at a picture like this and feel all 'normal' and am forced to rethink my issues.
