Well, I've been lurking for quite a while without posting much. Since things were going well, I figured I'd provide an update.
I've been in therapy, and very happy with my therapist and therapy, for a little over three months. We've addressed lots of issues, and I've begun to make concrete progress on a number of things -- employment, diet, exercise, and mood.
I made an appointment with a local doctor (actually an ObGyn) who devotes one day a week of her practice to trans clients. My therapist was comfortable writing a letter, and he allowed me to read the letter in advance of him sending it to the doctor.
I've very excited! I have some concerns: I still smoke, I'm 35, and I still have 40-50 lbs to lose (down 25 to date). But, whatever happens -- happens. Much more has come this year from letting go of control and letting things happen, so I figure it's all part of the journey.
Wish me luck, and I'll keep you girls posted.
