 **Your narrator compares herself to others.**

> I met Sandy at the coffee shop. I towered over her by a full head.

Cheap and simple: **Your narrator looks at himself in a mirror.**

> In the bathroom, I ran a hand through my hair. Still black, just like my dad's, although thinner. He went gray early — nothing for me yet. I had my mom's blue eyes, which was surprising unless you knew I was mostly Welsh.

Straightforward: **Your narrator describes himself.**

> I caught the guys in the bar looking. They had plenty to look at: tall, blonde, green-eyed, still pretty fit. Not a six-pack, maybe, but not a beer belly either.
