I can't believe it has been 6 months since starting hormones. Time is flying. I never thought I would ever get to this point. When I first admitted to myself that I was transgender, I never thought I would actually transition. I didn't think I had the strength and courage. But here I am, 6 months on hormones and going strong.
Not much to report in changes. Some really really minor facial changes. Breasts are still growing (I am outgrowing A cups and moving onto B's). I have gained some weight. Way more than anyone would want. So it's diet and exercise time. Now I have 60 lbs to lose to get to my goal weight. The diet part will be a bit easier as I am going 95% vegetarian. For some reason my body is rejecting most meats. Like eating meat makes me physically sick. This has happened once before about 17 years ago. That caused me to go vegetarian for a year and I lost almost 60 lbs that time. So here's hoping it works the same way.
My emotions have been all over the place. It has been a roller coaster ride the past couple of years. Two years ago it started with my wife having a fibroid tumor. Which I have been stressing and worrying about since day one until 2 weeks ago when she had a hysterectomy to remove it. FYI it was the size of a small watermelon. Yikes. But I cared all that stress for two years. Then the added stress of last year coming out as transgender. Then the stress and happiness of starting hormones this year. It's been a ride. But things are looking up and hope the next couple of years will be a little less stressful.
I am very thankful for our support system. My friends I grew up with have developed this close circle. We call it Famylie. We are very close and supportive of each other. We are very accepting of new members to the group, but burn one of the core and you will get shunned. They have been there for my wife and I, by our sides through all we have been going through. Always supportive.
That's all I got for now.
