I'm over my fears about others judging me.  Worrying about what people think about my outward appearance is something that I am gradually overcoming. 

Yay, Noelle!  That is indeed something to be happy about.  :)

The last few years, I have shaved my legs in the winter.  I was able to cover up my bare legs by always wearing pants during the colder months. 

Yesterday I shaved my legs and I don't think that I'm ever looking back.  I'm over my fears about others judging me.  Worrying about what people think about my outward appearance is something that I am gradually overcoming. 

I am so excited to go out and about with my soft/smooth legs. 

This really made me happy today. 

With Love,

Noelle

That is so great! I'm happy for you in doing this as I'm still trying to overcome the same fear.

Hugs,

You can do it Chelsea.  Just go at your own pace and slow and steady progress always helps.

Yes the early stages can cause the rise of fears! I remember in my first few months of transition, I was trying to be some what androgynous. I was playing tennis with a group of men and one of them asked if I was a cyclist because I had shaved my legs. My answer was a simple no. It wasn't to long after this that I decided to go full time and so no more men's doubles!
All the Best in your transition. The path will have hills and valleys! Stay positive and believe in the girl inside and you will prevail!

Hugs,
Kelly

I was on a video conference call at work and my face was on a large screen.  One of the guys in the room messaged me and said you are gettting younger and younger, what are you doing?  I told him I died the grays.  That is true but there is s lot more going on.

The process of losing weight has also allowed me to get off of blood pressure medicine.  This might be saving my life.  High blood pressure runs in my family.

Yesterday, I went to the movies and a couple stores wearing a sports bra in broad daylight for the first time.  It felt really good.  I have worn one briefly under the cover of darkness or covered by layers of clothing during colder weather. 

It was about 85 degrees yesterday where I live.  I wore a t-shirt with a sports bra underneath and khaki shorts (I got to show off my freshly shaved legs too, yay!) with a thong underneath them  This was the most feminine that I have ever dressed in public to date (even though most of my female attire was out of sight.)  It made me so happy.  Baby steps can be so huge when you first take them. 

Also, over the last few weeks, I have added a lot to my wardrobe and have acquired a lot of typically female items that I have always wanted to have: female razors, shaving gel, moisturizer, body wash, makeup, bras, panties, other clothes etc.  Over the years I have bought some of these things online but recently I have built up the courage to buy these items in person at a store.  Something that has been huge for me is the availability of self-checkout.  Goodbye anxiety at the checkout line, lol.   :D

With Love,
Noelle

PS

The movie that I saw was "Solo: A Star Wars Story."  I'd give it a 7/10.  I thought that the actors were great (Alden Ehrenreich and Donald Glover were total hotties and Emilia Clarke looked gorgeous, I want the earrings she was wearing in much of the film.)  I just felt like the script could have been better.  Sometimes I would find myself thinking "okay why are they doing this again?"  I would still recommend it to anyone that has enjoyed the previous Star Wars movies though. 
Have courage and be kind.

That's awesome to hear! I technically haven't gone out in girls clothes yet except to work, and yeah, thank goodness for those self-checkouts! I really want to wear a thong, too...can't seem to find them at Walmarts. Would it be too daring to walk into Victoria's Secret and try to buy a thong? lol

Though for me, when I decided to buy a bra I happen to be at like the only Walmart I know that doesn't keep the self-checkout open late, so I had to go through a regular cashier, heh heh

It's small, but I guess what made me happy(recently) was the eye shadow palettes that my wife ordered for me came in the mail. What will make me REALLY happy is when she decides to help me put some on! xD
Looking to make and keep friends! Spreading the love, now that I can truly love myself!

Thank you AshleyP and Kendra, yes I always wanted to enter politics and I would be more on the side President Obama's policies. I always said by the time I hit 40 I want to run in a political office whether it me city regional provincial or federal but only time will tell.

Two things! One, yesterday I went out fully dressed female for the second time, and didn't even feel the need to put on makeup my beard shadow after fourth laser settled in is so faint. I didn't go anywhere really, just dog for walk. It was memorial day so I was expecting to run into a lot of people, but oddly none! It was sort of disappointing, I wanted to see reactions.

Second thing, just got word just now that my step mother's surgery to remove the cancer in her colon went very well, and they saw no signs of it having spread at all. Still have to wait on results from lymph nodes that should be back by Thursday, but it's extremely positive news.
