Morning,

Finally, after years and decades and eons and epochs and … you get the idea … I finally uncovered a picture of me doubling as a Macy’s Day Balloon (the before picture), and one a few days ago of me looking rather buff (the after!).

Here they are:

Now, that picture is admittedly photoshopped - the original was taken from the first Garfield Convention I attended. Garfield was next to me, as was a bunch of kids (and as I don’t have permission to post their pictures, I simply removed myself from the picture and threw myself into a park).

Here’s my current photo:

While it’s obvious I still have a ways to go, I will admit, I like the current “me” much more so than the former “me!”

I’m wearing my favorite karate shirt in the above picture. Because my karate gi is sleeveless, I always wear tank tops/sleeveless shirts (I’m insanely proud of my deltoids/biceps - it’s my only vanity). That was the shirt I was wearing the very first time I realized, omigosh, I have a waist! And and and … it’s smaller than my top! My bottom! And dare I say it…I no longer look like a hugely-rounded eggplant!

Witnessing the magic - ’tis quite a good thing, indeed.

Barbara
