2017 Is just a day a head.  I was wondering what are your goals for 2017?
Whether it is about transitioning,  being a better person,  family,  or just simply looking for a partner. 
For me for the most part,  2016 was a busy year for me,  finishing college,  working 2 jobs in the summer,  started hrt, looking for a new endo, my treach shave, and my break up.
I can very happily say.  Now I feel like it was a bit of a stressful year,  and now I feel like a huge load has been lifted from me. 
As for my goals,  I guess.. I can now start focusing on my career goals,  continue my hrt and keep telling myself its who I am. Relationship wise I don't know....My goals main goals is my career,  and to hopefully come out little by little.

Continued transition.  My guess is that by June/July I'll not be able to be Dan even if I wanted to.

It might be time to look in to FFS.

Continue the transition.  Get a trachea shave.  Schedule my GCS, FFS.  Continue expanding my social activities, maybe even (eeep!) dating.

Edit:  I keep thinking about this.  Damn you, Internet!  Putting ideas in my head...

* get my identity papers in order. Court date in 2 weeks!
* Finalize the divorce.  Lots of fiddly details here...
* Travel!  Heck, I'd jump on the first cruise out of a nearby port, to anywhere, just for a change of pace.  It would be nice to have someone else take care of me for a few weeks.

Go running 3-5 days a week.

Try to enjoy my trip abroad for bottom surgery even though it's mostly a medical trip.

Take a real vacation sometime later in the year after I'm all healed up.

Get rid of all non-student loan related debt by the end of the year.

Make a decision on whether or not I want to go back for a third degree.

There isn't a lot left to do

I have to get in better shape, that's a no-choice thing; but since I actually have some hormones in my body it feels close, try achieving anything when low on all of them... you can't

Cutting out processed crap from my diet - I already eat better than everyone I know but I still consider it a vice that needs breaking; the other one is to like drinking water... lifelong habit, I hate drinking plain water

Read more - I already gotta read at least 7 more novels this year for school which puts me off reading anything in spare time when you are forced to read stuff you don't want to, but I feel a need to

Sleep more - totally not been getting enough

Hopefully they'll now be able to fast track me for surgery this year

Maybe buy a new car

Some new clothes are in order

Care less about the small stuff

Becomming a better bhuddist and learning to lessen my ego. Giving back to society as part of my merits deeds in thanks for the wonderful life I have.

Lose more weight
Improve my fitness
Go full time in April
Become an Activist

Liz

Try and help as many people as I can.
Never regret the past and anticipate the future with joy and hope.
See 2018 - and beyond

Let's see...

- Heal up after my GRS a few weeks ago. I want to improve my fitness and health once I'm able to get back to my usual level of activity. I suspect that will be in a month for most things but a bit more for more active and strenuous pursuits.

- Go on dates. This is different from "get into a relationship" but if that happens as a result of going on dates and/or cafe brunches then so be it! I need to learn to be less picky and pedantic about selecting prospective people to match up with, especially when basing that decision on their dating profile.

- Be great at my work. I've been dealt an awesome and unique opportunity at work...sure some aspects of it are less than ideal but I need to find a way to make that work because the payoff, not just for me and my organisation but for tens of thousands of people living with a treatable viral illness, will be massive.

- Rule at comics/cartooning. I've been working on a particular drawing/story telling project for over ten years. I want this to be the year where it breaks through and finds its audience and starts to bring in a decent supplemental income.

- Be daring. There's a lot that I haven't done over the many years of my life, and it's hard to know how much of that I can ascribe to my gender issues/dysphoria/etc and how much of it is fear and lame excuses...but with the dysphoria all but dealt with it's time to put the fear and excuses aside and be, at the very least, a bit more adventurous. For example, I have never been overseas...time for that to change, even if it is to relatively "safe" destinations. Also, despite once owning a car and still renewing my drivers license, I haven't driven in almost 18 years...time to get behind the wheel again...!

That'll do for now...

Make a few more steps towards transition without my life falling apart. I've done the easy bits.

1. Get through the next few months for medical stuff. I'm 54, so the guts have to get examined from the other end, and I'm having a new knee installed in March.

2. Not get too crazy. I finally have an appointment for TG counseling, ...in July. See the age above, and know that a few more months will make me crazy.

3. Clean the house. My mom is moving in mid-January, to my house. DW and I have some work to do.

4. Not get too crazy. Once I come out, mom will be well ensconced in my house. It may get crazy.

5. Still not getting crazy. Everyone who lives here has interesting conditions. Me. My DW, who is uncomfortable in her skin. My son #1, who is on the autistic spectrum. My son #2, who is on the lazy spectrum. My daughter, who doesn't live here anymore, but is giving her BF the most serious grief a stomach bug can render.

6. Maybe this year will be better than the last!

My wife is Thai and a devout Buddhist which I do intend to take up this year, while I linger on the UK GIC waiting list.

I also intend to stop the ecig tomorrow, stop drinking all together even though I have cut this to one blow out a month this last year.

Start building my female wardrobe (I have already started building a nice make up box), loose 16kg with regular exercise and smaller portions, currently I do none and I am at least 12kg over weight.

Start looking for a new career/ job, being a PC technician does not pay well where I am and I suspect issues may arise when I finally transition.

Happy new year all! xxx

p.s. - lots of make up practice and find a good wig! (almost forgot) and be more understanding to my amazing wife.

- I really need to start researching surgeons for my top surgery as I will likely have my first appointment at the GIC in May.

- Excercise a bit more.

-Attend a training session to volunteer for Diversity Role Models. They were booked up in Jan so I'll have to wait until March now.

-Finish my barbering course and hopefully have my social anxiety under control enough so I can get a job at a barbers in central London.

- And I guess maybe have my consultation booked for top surgery but this is probably not totally realistic considering how slow the NHS is.

Start HRT.
Go full-time.
Change my ID (foreign birth certificate is going to be a doozy).

It is going to be an interesting year.

Change my name. Get a legal divorce. GO BACK TO SCHOOL!  KonMari my "stuff" -- who needs it? Reconnect with friends. Fix my facebook so I can actually use it and not be afraid of my feed any more. Eat healthy. Take more walks. Take care of myself.

Hmmm..

In 2017 I hope to:

1. go to the beach whenever I can
2. drink cold coconut milk on the beach whenever I can
3. live in the tropics
4. jam on my keyboard while my Asian Fairy-bluebird sings along
5. eat plenty of fresh produce
6. ride my motorbike to get around
7. Take plenty of photos of exotic birds and wildlife
8. Hike in the mountains
9. see lots of exotic scenery

See? I'm doing it all already!

I do have goals, but I read that telling others your goals lessens motivation

Me at Mu Ko Similan National Marine Park, Thailand

This seems like a good place to de-lurk.

38 Non-binary amab. "Hi!"

1. find a gender therapist and start going. Starting that on Monday. Found one I think I'll like but I'm scared of doctors to start with so...  Just need to do it.

2. Expand my public expression. I got a start on that this week. I'm at work in a gypsy skirt and leggings today.

3. Quit smoking partly for cost. Partly a promise to my daughter. Partly in case I do end up on hrt.

4. Finish getting in shape. I've dropped 10 or so inches off my waist the past couple years but still have a tummy. Need to start proper exercise.

Ummm so hi again!

Oh yes, I forgot to add legal name change and re-ordering all my documents again. Can't wait for the fun of that, but at least it will mean I have valid ID once again... everything has expired

in the middle half of 2016 I was a real a*****e to a lot of people.  I attribute it stopping E.  But that's no excuse.  My goal for 2017 is to
1) smile more
2) apologize less/thank more ("sorry I'm late" vs "thanks for waiting")
3) be more positive
4) lose the ego.

Transition Stuff
1. Start Therapy (Appointment scheduled for mid January)
2. Lose another 40Lbs (already down 60Lbs.)
3. Start HRT
4. Start Electrolysis

Non-transition
1. Start writing again (stopped due to massive depression)
2. Spend more time out having fun with my son (I bought unlimited season passes to a local theme park)

So much to look forward to in this next year. It's exciting and terrifying.
