Jess’s mess

[LizK]

Hi girls 🙋‍♀️ I had heard that there is the possibility that after being on hrt for awhile you could measure smaller across the ribs (band) and waist.  I never imagined that, at least in the chest, I could have that happen.  It has, and I'm shocked.
I have lessened by an inch with the band measurement, along with the same in the waist.
To make matters better, my bust AND my butt have gained an inch in the 8 months since starting, and my thighs are keeping up in proportion.
I look at my figure straight on and it's beginning to become pear shaped.
According to the charts I should be wearing a 38D bra.....
I think it's more like a small C or a large B.
Through these changes I have only fluctuated in weight with a 5 lb. difference either way from my starting weight.

It so great when you finally start to see those changes...makes it all seem worthwhile...Yes weight gain is the downside but so long as you got it in all the right places its also a positive...kind of LOL

Take care

Yes @ElizabethK, it is wonderful!  It has changed my thought process to be even more comfortable with choices I've made.  I'm realizing that I am becoming who I am, who I always have been. 
It has actually made me happier, which makes me wonder.......I took the "how happy are you" test and scored 100%.  That summation is based on my life long outlook of myself.  I guess I'm now 110% happy now.

Smiling always, Jessica

Hi Friends 🙋‍♀️ My avatar at the moment is my first attempt at makeup by my own hand and no wig.  It's not real obvious in the pic, but I see it.  I will continue growing my hair back to the ponytail I had for decades, and may have something done differently to it then.

Hugs, Jess

@ Jessica:  It it neat to see your new avatar photo.... No Wig!!!! ... your hair is getting to a good length now that you will be able to do some neat things with it.  Perhaps in the near future you can post a closer view of your face so we can see your makeup artistry....  did you do  your nails too???
Always good to see your updates.

Thank you so much @Alaskan Danielle!  I am blessed with some curly locks.  My hairdresser told me to call her when I'm ready for a trim and even things out. 
My makeup is only med. tan foundation, candleglow perfecting powder, mascara and a violet rose lip glacé.  I didn't put on my false eyelashes, but my natural ones plumped up nicely.  I will find better lighting next time when I take new pics.
I have been going to the nail salon with my wife for mani/pedis for the last 5 months.  Love it!

Danielle! Did you get my PM's lately?
I have been having fun playing tag with you!
I've been seeing if you were on, then posting after you welcome someone.
Do you text or Skype?

Hugs and smiles, Jess

Thank you @Kendra!  Hearing that from you gives me a huge jump in confidence!

Oh jeez!  All day I've been having happy tears.... new patches and compliments will do it every time

OMG Steph!  I know why you're a pilot now - I had to recheck and I never even saw Jess' sculpture.  However, they do look like Rhonda and Lucy though my eyes aren't as good as your's

Thank you 😊

Well that's understandable. Jessica's new avatar has everyone so enthralled that they don't see anything else in the picture.

I love the wig! Beautiful color!  You're going places, but first you have to step outside.
I do see a woman looking at me in your avatar!

LAG - Laughing and Giggling!

Thank you.  I just spent close to an hour trying to get a picture of myself that looked halfway decent and this one is not a FaceApp fixer up so not bad for a 65 year hag

My daughter took one look at the wig and said, no - you're a blond!  Of course her hair is naturally jet black but she's dying it some aweful red color - not like mine

Her girlfriend, who I went to the wig place said it brought out my eyes, lol.

It took me awhile too, to get decent lighting, kept walking around till I found it in the bedroom.

I think you may be a perfect blond!  And then, there's the hair color too!  Lol
But your daughters friend is right, that color brings out your eyes!
