Just started therapy & beginning hrt February

[ChasingAlice]

Hi my name is Catherine and i am my late 30's. I am excited to begin my therapy and to soon be transitioning. I had my first therapy session and it went very well. I will be on hormones in February. She made me feel great and took time to explore my face and told me that i would not need ffs, which was a big concern for me although i knew deep down that i could do it. I also feel very lucky to be only 5'6, but i also weigh about 180 with an athletic build. I am probably hiding a small to medium frame underneath all of this muscle.

Because of food issues i swiched to a flexitarian diet two months ago. When i stopped drinking regular milk and stopped eating red meat i immediately lost 10 pounds.  I lost abdominal fat and muscle in my upper body - specifically in my arms and now they are getting flabby underneath. I am also a lot weaker in general. My legs and butt have changed to! My butt now has cellulite on the outerside and the top of my male hips.  Something totally new. I am excited to see my body changing on it's own.

Here are my starting stats because i know i will not be able to see changes. 
Neck 15.50
Chest 42
Waist 35.75
Hips 38.50
Thighs 22.5
Forearms 12
Arms 13.50
