Weight gain, HRT, dieting, etc. Can someone talk some sense into me?

I'm struggling with my weight.  Since starting HRT, it's gone up and up and up.  Still fairly reasonable (164, 5'11"), but it's far higher than it used to be.

I know my weight is normal, but my body is still looks bulky and unfemale.  I know that I've only been on HRT for a few months, but I'm starting to look in mirrors and see a fat guy who should stop eating to thin his body down.  And I know that this is such a stupid reaction to have, that I'm a healthy weight, that severe dieting is harmful, and that HRT takes years and not months, but I can feel the desire to starve myself.  I know this'll be harmful to fat repositioning too and I'll look gaunt and skeletal and unfeminine if I diet like I used to, but something inside me wants to stop eating again and strip every pound of fat off.

Any advice?  I should be happy about my healthy weight, not looking in the mirror and wanting to screw up the progress I've made so far.

Well those measurement are almost identical to mine and I think its pretty skinny. I have a bit of a belly, which seems to be growing a bit of late... but otherwise am quite a twig. Losing a few pounds might be ok for both of us but I don't think can lose a lot.

Instead of starving yourself how bout trying to add some or some more exercise into your day, even if it is just a little walk or run? That will help you out in many ways besides just burning calories as well.
