Dysphoria

[Ephemeral]

I have gotten dysphoria over my hips again. I really don't know what to do about it. I always hated how big they were after I left my teens and I never liked when people commented on them but now when I am trying to pass and feel myself as comfortable as male it's even worse. What to do? I keep telling myself that guys can also have wide hips and this is true, but I don't feel comfortable about them. I am trying to lose weight so the body fat on the hips and thighs will go away but it goes so slowly and I am not sure losing all of it is going to help anyway. What to do really? I just feel ->-bleeped-<-ing terrible.

hmm, that's tricky. all i can think of is wearing baggy shirts, or shirts that go just to your thigh, to cover up the width of the hips. another thing you could possibly try is wear jeans or any pants with a belt and let them sit beneath your hip bones? or as low as they can comfortably go.

Hey man. All I can say is that I hear ya. I also hate my hips and backside. Always have. I remember as a kid, when I suddenly started developing without realizing it, I glanced down at my legs one day and was like 'wtf just happened? Why are my upper legs so fat?!' I kept looking at them, thinking I had turned really fat. Thank you, female puberty.

Like you, I'm trying to lose weight as well just to lose that girly fat. And also like you, it's a slow process. But slow wins the race is what they say, so keep it up. Eventually, they will slim down. In the meantime, know that you are not alone in this.

I'm also bothered by my hips. What I do is to look in to the mirror and take a lot of pictures with the side of my hips facing the mirror while rotating my upper body to let my front facing the mirror so the upper body looks broad and masculine while the waist and hips appear small. Yes it sounds like lying to myself, but just keeping reinforcing the positive image helped me get through.

It definitely goes too slowly   but the weight does peel off eventually. As another mentioned clothing can hide things somewhat. I often wear my shorts/jeans sitting on the widest part of my hips and then wear a shirt that will cover that up and it changes the silhouette some. Maybe wear a light coat that comes down to your hips or just past it and leave it open and that can hide the shape. I do that often with a hoody.

Yeah, I do like shirts and the like so I like to wear those and just let it cover up and create a false silhouette but it's summer time so not really viable right now. Meh. I just feel like crap today I guess.
