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....

      My Doctor Don't Listen

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      Dump that doctor!   A doctor is a HIRED SERVICE PROFESSIONAL.  No more "holy" than a mechanic, a plumber, or anybody else in the trades.  Just like anybody else you hire, if they have a bad attitude or do crap quality work, get rid of them ASAP.  It amazes me how in the USA we don't have clear prices related to medical services, and how people will put up with crap from a doctor that they wouldn't from anybody else.  And it seems that doctors give bad service at approximately the same rate as other tradespeople.  Good help is hard to find!   Your body is more important than your car or your bathtub. Don't be afraid to assert yourself.

      We all have a hurt inner child, do you ever comfort that child and say it will be protected?

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      I can't do that for myself...my partners do that for me. I guess I'm damaged goods.  I think part of me never totally grew up, because I'm not able to do adulting on my own.  There's no "wise parent" part of me because I didn't get here on my own.    I was stuck in my parents' house until GF rescued me.  Before age 26, my parents made all my decisions.  After age 26, I maybe decide some things, but mostly GF or my husband take care of it.  I need my partners around to remember even the basic stuff, like sleeping and eating at reasonable times.  Solo, I'm totally lost.

      Do you have a rich inner life?

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      Now that I think about it, part of why I enjoy my noisy family so much is because I don't have to have much of an inner life.  I don't really like being left to my own thoughts....all that mess in my brain.  Maybe better to have an active outer life than an inner one?

      HRT has little effect on me, misgendering

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      Sometimes we are faced with situations where the only response possible is grief.  Things will never be as we want them; people die, we lose things we cherish, we do not obtain what we earnestly desire.  I see some of those situations here; there are tools available to help you through the grieving process.  It's not easy.

      HRT has little effect on me, misgendering

      By Ashley0616 · Posted

      I would be happy to just have 4 disabilities. I take 27 different medications and it does little. I tried working when I got out of the military but couldn't maintain one. I have a lot of mental disorders myself. It would be neat to learn about each other's background. I do understand just wanting to be normal. My job is a stay-at-home parent which is exactly tougher than a regular job especially being a single parent.

      Do you have a rich inner life?

      By Ashley0616 · Posted

      Rich as in happy? Far from it. I'm happy about my kids but I shouldn't put all my happiness on them. I take care of myself and do the best I can. I'm happy and content that I have a house and car but nothing that can't be taken away from me like in an instant. I completely lack motivation and don't even want to do my walks anymore. I can't get a membership somewhere because I have kids that are mostly with me. I put myself out there for hoping something to come up and be good, but it's has always been like getting hit in the back of the head.

      By Nonexistent · Posted

      Hi, I don't think I have enough posts to PM yet I don't think (I think it's 5?). I'm poor myself since I can't work, but my parents are luckily helping me get surgery covered by insurance since I am still on their insurance and they have flexible spending each year. I live far away from them, halfway across the country, but I'm glad I have their support.   On the day to day... having a disability sucks. I wish I could just work like everyone else and have a normal life, but my mental disorders prevent me from doing most things.   I'm glad someone else understands at least.

      Very pretty y'all. 4" heels is the max I can handle and not for long period of time. I don't see how women wear 5" and above. I love my feet. I sure don't want to punish them.

      Ashley's Life from Start to Present

      By Ashley0616 · Posted

      Well just been doing a lot of self reflection and a lot of gender dysphoria that has caused me to break down. The realization has been that I'm a trial period for men and women don't even consider me. It's getting dim. I have put myself out there by force even when I didn't want to. I have one friend but still haven't seen her IRL yet. We talk on Sundays and it's always me that starts it. Another person only talks to me when they want something. It's never been hey how are you doing. It's almost a month to my birthday and it's all just my mom, sister, nephew that are coming. So much for a 40th birthday party. I hate these posts. I want to be optimistic, positive and cheerful but I haven't seen anything go my way. I'm making it by the skin of my teeth. I wished I could just go into a coma for a year or just not wake up.

      @Michelle_S lol it took a year to get that many. It's nice to have a large number but having the thoughts of helping someone far outweigh the number of posts. I have been absent a lot lately. Back at it tomorrow though lol.
