Dressing up in male drag for 8 hours a day at work. Pretending I'm still the guy they hired.
Coming out. This has been hard for me no matter who. I think I'm pretty much done now though. HR will tell the others at work.

Actually choosing to DO it.
Which is still pending.
After this, NOTHING in life will ever seem like a "big decision" to me again.

I understand the apprehension you must be feeling about doing it. It's kind of like standing at the edge of a cliff to bungie jump (never done that myself) and knowing you want to, but with actually doing it, you resist strongly. I feel that feeling everytime I need to come out to a new person. I like to take the "rip the bandaid off" approach to those junctions. So, you will probably feel that many times if you go ahead with transition. You might as well get used to it.

I think the most difficult task that I came accross was just looking in the mirror and telling myself that I can pass as female. I knew who I was and felt very comfortable, but I'm not exactly very petite. I wear a size 15 ring and my hands dwarf many mens hands and my shoulders are very large. I have always worn extra large in mens clothing and now I'm a woman. I have lost lots of muscle and with the help of hormones I do have a shape, it may be large but not fat. So the hardest for me was to look past all of this and accept myself as a large woman.
