Faith's Progress

[Faith]

All of you are too wonderful and kind for me to express. For the record, I was not fishing for compliments but big thanks ... they do make me feel good 

Also, for the record, I see him.

With your permission, I'm posting a blast from the past, January 10, 2018, to be precise. Remember when...

That is such a lovely blouse, and it looks great on you! I'm working on figuring out what Beth's style is. She is so full of surprises, liking things that I never would have thought of, and she's right! But I have yet to find such a pretty blouse for her.

And, one of my favorites:

And how appropriate that it was my birthday!

One more today.

Lori must have had a blast! You have (drum roll -- I know that no one has ever said this to YOU before) such GORGEOUS HAIR!

Self-Acceptance is the Key

So be it!

Oh Faith! I so love how you do your eye liner. You look beautiful.

About the pictures,
Pic1 .. ACK! .. not ready for public view. Lori took that picture when I tried it on. I was wearing my exercise shorts .. sheesh Early in transition as well, like - not. I've changed slightly since then.
Pic2 .. Lori likes that one as well, amongst a few other people. I don't like it. It looks too fake like it was put through faceapp or something (it wasn't). Too much makeup I think.
Pic3 .. Yes, Lori had a blast. Giggles and 'oh, your hair is so easy to work with' and such comments. It took me a while to get those curls combed out.


About my avatar yesterday, for those of you that noticed. It was not a good day, very dark thoughts. I'll not go into it. Those of you that reached out know.

I'd like to point out, I just started the 1st week of the month. this is the .. 5th? 6th? month that my mood has turned ¿sour? during the first week and being less able to handle things that life throws at me. *sigh*

It's a new day, same week though so watch out

Faith, I see nothing but a mature woman, relaxing at home.

You being you.

Faith you are a beautifully (im)mature woman!

I agree 

You all are a bad influence on me

I am improving on seeing myself. I don't hide from mirrors anymore and I don't mind photos (much) either. Boobage is coming along nicely, shrinkage is slow, some of my skinny slacks don't fit because the waist is too big and the hips are too tight. Hair, well, head hair was never a problem. Body & facial hair .... GRRRRRRRRRrrrRRRRRrrrrrRRR.

So exciting to read about your results from HRT. I can't wait to see what happens to my Beth! Each step she takes, she becomes more beautiful. Surely you and Lori notice the same thing about yourselves, most of the time.

After you return to safe ground, after this monthly "period", I wonder what you can put in place, to prepare for the next one. My therapist is good at helping me answer these kinds of questions.

Beautiful photo Faith. Your hair is quite lovely.

Today is the 6th day with a nasty headache. Mixed sources, hard to treat since most pills for headaches and such I can't take. Muscle tension, related to weather change and a bad neck. Sinus because I'm still fighting that head&chest cold. It moved back up into my sinuses. There's another headache as well, top of my head. Not sure where that one is coming from.

Other than feeling crappy, the downside is that feeling this way amplifies my negative thoughts, feelings, and doubts. I didn't sleep well because my head was full of bad dreams .. mostly, I hate to say, about Lori leaving me for a 'real' man. Worse yet, staying and finding one anyways ... It's a fear, however unlikely.

I'm a mess

Now I'm at work

Now I'm a mess at work

Did I say I was a mess?

Monday photo? hmm, I'm sitting alone in the dark, lets try one with only the ambient light from my monitors. Please try to contain the gag reflex, it's not pretty ... the reflex that is. People look bad when they're gagging. You should try to avoid it. I'll refrain from commenting on my photo, I always get yelled at when I do.

Just about held my lunch down . NO just kidding as you look lovely as usual, its a workday face . Mine is nowt to shout about when at work , covered it crap and lippy gone. Now go and believe in yourself , in fact stand in front of a mirror and repeat " I am beautiful " 10 times . Do I have to start handing out slaps???

Well, let me comment than!
You look like a normal every day woman to me.  No makeup, just a normal face.  I still like your hair, I think it looks great!  That is the length I would like to have!
