Stature and attitude show through.

So today's post has to do with an interesting combination of self perception and stature. Take a look at these two pictures.  Taken a year apart at the Wakarusa Music Festival. It was taken during an event called The Chompdown, which is a communal breakfast at which I work at the Bloody Mary booth, thus the lovely apron.  This kilt wearing gentleman comes for a Bloody Mary and donates great ingredients each year.

The point of this comparison is to show the difference is stature and attitude. In the first picture I am humbly tucking into the picture, almost amazed that he agreed to the picture. Rounded shoulders showing a person that is happy to be in the picture but also apologetic at the same time.  The second picture I am in the picture as an equal.  Standing strong and tall.  I did not plan any of this.  I just decided to do a comparison for weight alone.  

So the change is in one of both physical change and attitudinal change.  The weight drop is obvious as well but no where near as profound as the shift in the person herself.  Sweet!  Looks like I am beating back the fears of lack of confidence and bad self image with each stretch and breath.  Good Lassie.
