Went kayaking again today. Decided to not care and just go with my rash shirt and shorts, even stowed the kayaking vest (nice safe little estuary) I know my face wouldn't have passed given I had no concealer etc due to salt water, and my body is definitely... not the same shape it used to be. I wouldn't label it as entirely feminine, but its definitely a long way from male (overweight or otherwise). No one cared or even noticed (that was a little disappointing to be honest).
A few days ago my wife walked up and said "your breasts are too big". I said thanks! She wasn't impressed but it made my day.
In addition I've dropped 17kg since I started this journey. Only 9kg from my goal and faster than I expected. Hair reduction is on track, have to say I don't enjoy burning one hair at a time away, but patience will get me there. Facial hair is a bit slower in coming back, and body hair has definitively lost its pep. Takes days to grow to a point where I need to do anything about it.
Down low things are getting smaller and less functional and I don't mind one bit! They can wither and fall off for all I care.
All in all it made me feel confident that I can be myself regardless and not hide anything. Still need to be patient and that's driving me a bit nuts, but I can see small victories every day and they keep me going. Struggling a bit with GD in the form of seeing women and feeling jealous they just have what I want, but it will get better in time.
