So one of the things that really helped me when I was about to start transition was seeing the effects over time of hormones on other girls. It gave my confidence and courage to move forward. I decided when I started hormones I was going to keep track of them by taking a mug shot every month or so to see my progress and to show others the effects they have had on my body. These changes are so slow and so subtle that your coworkers, friends and family members will most not likely even notice what is going on. I might also add that hormones are not magic though perhaps in the back of our minds they are such. The key is to be realistic, everyone's results are different. I was lucky to start young before testosterone could wreck my body with manliness and am also most likely not very testosterone receptive since I've never really looked that masculine anyways. This also does not show my other body and mood changes which have also changed quite a bit. I gained a bit of weight as well. Estrogen lowers your metabolism and the fluctuating hormones will turn to into an eating machine. You will need to make lifestyle changes to maintain a healthy weight or suffer as I did. Now i'm working on burning it off and it's not easy. Minus the last photo i'm not wearing any makeup. I wanted to show how I actually look as opposed to some girls that start showing pics with makeup towards the end to make the change appear more drastic and shocking.
So without further ado...
