Title: Reporting something Positive!
Post by: Aina on January 24, 2014, 11:06:52 PM
So I decide it was time to report something positive. Since a lot of my post have been rather negative and depressing now that I look back at them.

While I have yet to come out yet, I feel like this last week I had a major break through. I am starting to feel good about myself and found out that the more I accept being transgender the more I wanna better myself and the better I feel.

It has made me be more aware of how badly I've been treating my own body.

I've stop drinking sodas completely (Little over one week strong so far). I drink more water and teas.
I've been exercising and toning my waist and hip area for a month now and I am really starting to like the results.
I take better care of my hygiene and skin.
I find myself becoming braver, doing things that I wouldn't because it might out me small things but it is a step in the right direction
I use to wonder what was I doing going back and forth wondering if I'd pass, now I get practically giddy over shaving my legs and the future aspects of transitioning.

I feel I am right on the edge of coming out, and I get butterflies in my belly but the good kind.

I felt like sharing with all my sisters and brothers here on Susan, and feel your support has really helped since I have joined.

That's really good to hear Aina! Glad to hear all those things are having good effects!

The future of transitioning is definitely a very exciting thing to ponder, after all it will be the start of a new, fulfilling life! :)

Good feelings are contagious Too! =D

I'm guilty of this myself. I think a big part of it is you need to like yourself enough to actually take care of yourself, something I've long had trouble with. Even now that I have a reason, old habits are hard to break.

Still, I'm glad to hear things are going well for you.

Thank you everyone,

Its an ongoing process but I keep telling myself it is ok to want this to want this, and there is nothing wrong with that!  :)
