When I am reviewing my trail cameras and Mama sees me in a photo she says “Look!! A feral fat man!!”

I looked at a photo of myself on the game camera and thought, "who the hell is that"?

The self images we maintain of ourselves are often quite humorous.

I remember once when I was about 30 or so, riding up an elevator with mirrors on all walls. One particular trip up, the elevator was a little on the crowded side, and I saw a guy standing "behind" me and I thought "holy effing sh!t, that dude has got some broad shoulders!" I was, of course, seeing myself from behind in the mirror.

I was 6'4" and 165 lbs when I graduated high school, and the image of that skinny kid stayed with me for a very long time. Still hard for me sometimes to wrap my head around, until I put on a 2X t-shirt and the sleeves are tight.
