This is me — like it or not (365: 21)

This is me – like it or not (365: 21). Copyright © 2007 Gary Allman, all rights reserved.

I’m fairly comfortable with my body, and I’m trying to learn to accept the changes that come with age, but there are always things one would like to change. I must admit to feeling quite anxious about posting this. I learned a lot and very much enjoyed the process of making this picture, but I’m not so sure about sharing the result.

So here I am. I’ve never seen myself as sexless before, but to save frightening people, I am now devoid of genitalia like a male doll.

What I hate about my body:

  1. Ear hairs. What are they for? All I know is the older I get, the thicker they are, and the harder it is to get rid of them. It’s almost impossible to remove them single-handed.
  2. Man boobs.
  3. Body hair even more so where it has gone grey. I’d remove it all if it was practical. I shave, I trim, my vanity knows no bounds.
  4. My weight. I lost 28lbs (12.6kg) last year and want to lose a further 10lbs (4.5kg) this year to hit my ideal weight.
