Month 4 UpdateI haven't posted in a while so thought I would do my 4th month update. Not really much too report. I have no real measurable body changes but can see things changing. I'm feeling a lot better about my body. My thighs have gotten bigger but I didn't take a measurement when starting because I'm a bonehead. They are at 18.5 inches. Yeah Yeah I know I'm a stick but I'll get there one day. I have gained some of my weight back and am up to 131lbs. Emotions have been running wild but I know what they are now and I'm able to handle them better. It took me awhile to figure them out.
Had my blood taken Friday but haven't got the report back yet. I'm pretty sure that it will come back fine.
I'm still working like something silly and finally got my friend paid back. I've been working 14 and 16 hour days and I'm exhausted to the point I don't feel good.
Even though I don't have much to report as far as monthly changes go I do have some very good news. All of you know I have been looking to meet another trans person face to face. I have a friend that transitioned over 3 years ago but we never can get a chance to meet up. The other girl that my therapist set me up with is the same way and has a lot going on in her life as well.
About two weeks ago I seen a cute girl on Instagram that lived kind of close to me, so I messaged her to ask how long she had been on hormones. We have been talking some at night when I get home from working. A few days ago my totally awesome girl friend told me to ask her to meet and it would be good for me. I sent her a massage and ask her expecting the same as the others that I have tried to meet but to my surprise she said Sure! We made plans to meet and yesterday I drove a hour and a half away, the entire time I was soo nervous. I was in guy mode and she told me that its fine that we all have a guy mode. The closer I got the more nervous I got. When I got there she came to the door and when I seen her in person I freaked out and just sit there like a idiot. She came out to the car to get me and reassured me that is all good.
I could tell that she knew how scared I was and told me "don't sweat it, were gonna have fun." I did bring my clothes and makeup just in case and I'm glad I did. I have never had so much fun. I talked to her for hours and in 10 minuets I felt like I had known her for years. We got ready together and she was the first person ever to see me as Chelsea other than my girlfriend. She said "come on were running to the store. you need to get over this shyness." She still has her male voice but I'm telling you she don't care. I have never seen so much confidence in a person in my life. She made me feel so pretty telling me she wished she looked as good as me and she is at 10 months. We hang out about 5 hours and If any of you have never met another trans person I highly recommend it. I finally met one and now have a very good friend. This was the best experience I have had sense starting this transition.
I need to get back to work but just wanted to share my awesome day I had.
Hugs,
Chelsea
