I am at like the perfect weight... BUT... My hips stick out... I don't like it... I can feel myself to start going down hill again >.<

It seems as though I'll never be as small as I want >.<

I may be 99 pounds but there are parts of my body that I don't like <_<

Nice weight... BUT not nice parts <_<

Hips too big.

Thighs too big.

I know that I am probably going to end up messing up and going down <_<

I do have to say that I am glad that the new medication I am on makes me want to eat less. Makes me feel good.

I have to start riding my bike again <_<

I know I'm underweight... BUT I can't control this...

And being on T scares me because of the weight stuff...

I know that the weight shifts and I know that it can go to the stomach area :(

I thought that I was stronger than this... I guess not <_<

*sigh*

Lee-Asher,

First if you are as thin as you are and still have large hips do check to see where the bones stop, no amount of diet or exercise can change that - Make sure that you are not fighting against an unchangeable fact.

However, all is not lost - T will make you gain weight but it will help bulk up your upper body before any excess fat begins to settle around the stomach.

Love ya,

Sally

Well it's the love handles ON the hips that are getting to me :( Not the hips them selves :(

That's what worries me though... It WILL go to the stomach eventually... I won't be able to handle that but I got to get on T... <_<

Once the love handles are gone though my hips will look good...

Honey......

I'll just say this for you...and I know that you know this...

We're our own worst critics!

We see things that no one else notices...

I guess that it's par for the course that we dislike our bodies...

HUGGS!

Lee I know first hand how bad it gets when looking at yourself. I am probably under weight but you know what I like where I am at right now. I am smaller that I ever was in High School and I was skinny then. I still would like to lose my belly but I have come to realize that maintaining where I am at is good enough for me. I don't want to look like a skeleton. I want to be a beautiful girl someday and being skin and bones wont help in that department. Lee you could afford to gain just a little like me and still be skinny. I don't know how tall you are but think about my height of 5ft 11 in and as low as 137 pounds. That is underweight on the chart but I feel good and still have plenty of fat on me so that I don't look like skin and bones. I got back to 140 and I plan on keeping it there. I hope you can get past this and just eat a little bit. You don't have to gain 20 pounds but don't let yourself get to skinny.

Hi there Lee!

I believe that once you are on T and building up your upper body muscle and mass, you will gain weight, but it will be from the muscle weighing more. It is this interim time that is frustrating.

I know, I still need to lose forty pounds or so, yet my hips are getting close, but I have to get the weight down before I can even think about getting a T blocker and E. Plus, I have no idea if any the physicians around here will prescribe E and a blocker to me.

I believe that you and I can somehow get through all this. Somehow, someway.

Hugs!

Opal

Yea I know it >.< I know it all too well...

People don't see what I see and yet I don't see what other people see either :huh:

I don't know if I said this yet or not but I want to say that I KNOW I'm not fat it's what I SEE and what I FEEL. Just putting that out there...

*hugs*

5' 3/8" is my height and I am told I am underweight by some and not by others so I just go with the underweight part. I don't want to look like that either >.< I just... I want to be more masculine and all this fat doesn't help me much >.<

The time between two things....

      Its been a long day.  I had a good trip with my husband, kind of sorry I had to come home.  I mean, I love my partners, but I feel overwhelmed by the chaos at times.  It was nice being able to just drive and talk for two days, and not feel rushed at meals.  Stopped at a buffet off I-40 in Oklahoma, and I was able to nibble comfortably for two hours!  And taking a shower in a place where I don't have to bother hanging up the towels for later   Its all about the little things....

      Hi @AmandaJoy Welcome, and nice to meet you! Congratulations on your Self-Affirmation!  As you've already discovered you're in great company here on this Forum.  It took me 60+ years also.   I understand your thrill and desire to proceed full-steam-ahead but that you've already realized to meter your Journey.  So, I will just end with what I tell most new Members when they arrive ... Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      @KymmieL do they have you on anti depressants?  Are they certain they are the right ones for you?  Has a psychiatrist been involved?  My physician first put me on an anti depressant and when things got worse for me he added one that was the initial cause of my cancer.  My therapist recommended I had a different need changed things. My psychiatrist agreed with the particular underlying condition and the choice of medications.   everyone is different but if one medication isn’t working there are many different types and different underlying conditions that require different treatments.  No meds mentioned because what didn’t work and what did all depends on your case, not mine.   Willow

      To me loving myself means having the courage to live the way I want and to be me.     I hardly ever really like how I look but I feel good knowing I am trying to be the best version of myself that I can be. It is definitely a struggle sometimes though.  💗Cynthia

      I had a five hour road trip today.  I’m trying to grow my hair out so I just pushed it back with a pink hair band, lipstick and gloss, no makeup.    White spaghetti strap top, short black skirt, white sandals with pink toenails!  A couple of rings and bracelets, necklace and hoop earrings.   I felt like a hot mess but it’s my favorite way to travel!

      Glad you had a good day, @Willow Mine on the other hand sucked. I have been screwing up again, I even got written up. I may have to educate them on major depression and disability. not that it will work.    OH, well. May be another job I lost because of me. Yes, my depression is about down at the magma level   Kym

      This bag is really working out for me.  I had worn out the back on my yin-yang bag so I picked this one up.  It wasn't long before I cut off the flap on it and braided a hemp strap for it.  The zipper is the best feature.  I can spin the bag around and I'm not afraid of losing anything.  I've taught myself to keep all the essential things in it and nothing more.  Here is what made the cut:   Notepad Sharpie Ballpoint Pen Teaspoon Glasses Phone (most of the time) Wired Headphones and/or Bluetooth Carmex and/or Lipstick Flash Drive Current Braiding Project Wallet Hair Clip   And on my keys I have my one inch Swiss Army Knife with scissors and a bottle opener that I like using with mason jar lids.   I don't miss pockets at all now.  The bag is fun and practical.  I can set it on the ground to get everything off my body.  If I need something, I'm looking for a fairly large object.  I always have something to work on with the braiding project.

      Mine was Hatshepsut, an Egyptian pharaoh who had to carry herself as a male in order to rule. I was completely facinated by her as a student.

      Well it was a good day at work I got everything done I needed to do. My audits came out right and everything.  I had to fix the printer on one pump. It wouldn’t cut the paper and needed two parts replaced.  The District Manager left us Thank you bags,  Murphy Bucks and candy.  We can use Murphy bucks to buy things in the store, or pay for gas.  I guess next week the Area Manager will be around to check on things.  He would be the next layer higher.  Well my eyelids are starting to get heavy, time for a nap.thats the only thing about opening the store it definitely causes me to need a nap.

      Interesting point. I was raised Catholic and was intensely intrigued by the lives of saints. Similar to your obsession with Mulan, I was particularly drawn to Joan of Arc, a 15th century saint who took on the guise of a man to lead the French army to victory over the English in the Hundred Years' War. Later, she was sold out by the Burgundians to the English who brought multiple charges against her as a heretic, including claiming she could communicate directly with God (which undermined the church's authority), and wearing men's clothes. At one point, while imprisoned, she was made to dress in women's clothes, which she did, but was later found again in men's attire which she said she preferred. She was eventually burnt at the stake at age 19. Rather gruesome tale, but not atypical of the stories of Catholic martyrs.
