What can I do today or tomorrow, something to start my crossdressing journey?

Start with some girly panties or lingerie and see where it takes you.

Don't forget about ladies' jeans.  They're like 100x more comfortable than mens'.  Pedicures are great, and ladies' trouser socks/stockings feel really good on.  Hmm, for some reason I'm stuck below the waist tonight.

Things you can do now

Under dress...panties, bra , tights
Nail Polish - clear Sally Hanson 101
Beauty routine - clear, exfoliate, moisture, protect
Exercise - walking...10
Pierce your ears
Start beard removal - Electrolysis or Laser or both
Jewellery - rings, bracelet,
Small dab of perfume  - so you can smell it and no one else
Shoes - gender neutral or women's
Carry a bag...not necessarily a handbag
wear some eyeliner... in brown will open your eyes up and most won't notice
Work on your voice, mannerisms,  and deportment

Hope some of those help

If you want to do it covertly, panties, camisole, pantyhose under your male clothes. I suggest the sexier the better, so I wear lace panties and camisoles. I also add bras when I am home. I often walk around in just panties, pantyhose and bras at home and love catching glimpses of myself in the mirror. I also push my penis between my legs and keep it there. When you are wearing panties and pantyhose it keeps everything in place so you have no bulge in front. Also, at home you could completely dress up ~ get makeup, a dress, etc. I would also shave my body hair so you don't see all that hair and it doesn't poke through the pantyhose. Most importantly enjoy and don't find yourself getting ashamed. You don't want to purge your feminine clothing because you'll just end up buying them again and it becomes costly. I find any time I start feeling ashamed it is because I am denying my true gender identity which is obviously female. I don't dress because I want to be a woman. Rather I am supposed to be a woman. CD is one huge way I can relieve some of the tension of gender dysphoria. See a therapist if you are getting ashamed regularly and figure out why. Hope that helps.

You can start simply. Right now I'm in bra, panties and a dress with lipstick and eye pencil. Simple, but I feel really femme and really happy.
Mmmm......wish I could be like this always!!
Anyway, make sure you have fun😉.

Unfortunately, I don't have the femme hair, I have body hair all over, and I have a small man belly. Also, I can't do a lot of stuff without coming out to my mom or even dad.

I also have people who I see every day of the week.

Try learning to sew. You can make a skirt out of just about anything.  Also, you can alter your boy clothes to look more feminine.

I remember I made skirt out of a lace curtain once using only safety pins.

Ugh, I don't want to learn sewing right now.

Sounds like you are not ready to even take small steps yet.

What do I do? Tell me mom and pray/hope it doesn't go down?

Start eating health and exercising, take good care of your hair/skin and try a longer hair style.  None of these will "out" you and all will make you feel better and get your closer to an ideal place when (or if) you continue on this path.  It's quite easy to just let yourself go when you don't like who you are or aren't able to express yourself the way you want.  Take care of the little things and it will help you overall inside and outside.

Can you help me with how to eat right for someone who dreads counting calories?

In terms of things you can start right now to feel more feminine, you can sit when you pee. It's easy and no one will notice.

Honestly it's really not that hard. If you think it's junk food then it probably is, and generally the fewer the steps the food has gone through before you eat it the better. depending on your body's chemistry there are probably some things that effect you more than others. I would suggest weighing yourself in the morning, and keeping track of what you're eating. Experiment about what you eat and when, for instance try a week or two low carb (or something like that), and see what works.

I had my brows waxed and french tips on my nails. My friend Dee gave me a bunch of costume jewelry. Then we went shopping at Marshalls.

Oooooooooh, E! I always forget that one!  It was good for me in preparing myself for my ultimate transition, both from a knowing how it would feel to always sit down and in the way that it made me feel more feminine.  It's been years now, and I never missed it! 

These are a lot of ideas on prepping for transition, but maybe not necessarily for cross-dressing.  To redhot: Are you looking more for ways that you can secretly dress en femme so that you feel it without showing anything, or maybe some relatively low-risk ways to show your femme side so that people won't see it overtly?

Like Carol, in this sketch? 

Many people who want to start experimenting with cross dressing (I actually really dislike that term because it implies that I am wearing clothing that is designed for a different gender than what I am, but the fact is, I am female, and therefore there is no "cross dressing".  It is wearing what I should be wearing.)  but anyway..........A lot of times, I feel like people tend to "over dress" and try to wear too much.  I don't want to look like a drag queen.  I just want to wear normal, comfortable girls clothes.  When playing around with different clothing items, I used to overdress a little.  Or felt like I wanted to wear nothing but skirts and dresses because those were the more obvious "female" clothing items.  However, now after dressing in girls clothes at home for the past 20 something years (I am 36) I have kind of evolved to where I have a collection of cute shirts and leggings and things that I LOVE to wear because they are just so comfortable. 

  And when I go out in public, if I wear shorts, I wear girls shorts that don't necesarilly look like girls shorts, but I know they are, and that makes me happy.  And knowing that I ALWAYS have very girly, simple cotton panties on underneath, makes me feel better too.  Also, I recently got both of my ears pierced and currently have cute little diamond studs in my ears that makes me feel a little more feminine.

  There are so many things you can do for yourself, to feel better about yourself little steps at a time without totally overdoing it.   I want nothing more in the world than to be feminine looking enough that I can get away with going out in public wearing whatever cute, comfortable clothes I want to, without anybody questioning it.  I just want so bad to be a true girl!!!!  But for now, I dress comfortably at home as much as I can.  The instant I get home, I take my nasty boys clothes off, and put my girls clothes on, and go to work or hang out with my wife and daughter, and they are quite used to it.  Once in a while our almost 5 year old daughter tells me "Daddy, you look like mommy" to which I say "Well, thank you!"  And her mom explains to her that it is okay for men to wear those same clothes.  We are trying to raise her to be open minded and not place gender restrictions on herself or others.

I need to start this sitting down to pee thing.  For one, my wife hates having to clean my pee off the toilet when I miss.  I try to always clean it when I miss, but sometimes don't get it all.  So she has mentioned that maybe I should start sitting down to pee.  And part of me was like "Hey don't control me in that way" but at the same time, I love the idea of feeling more feminine by doing so.  It is just so easy to walk in the bathroom and whip it out, rather than having to pull my pants all the way down.  But........I think I should start.

Little things that I like to do being that I'm not out of the closet yet is if I'm going out for errands I like to put on some really sexy panties and put my junk in a tuck underneath my guy clothes

Sometimes if I'm going for really long drive I'll even go as far as wearing oh my girl clothes in the car it works because I have tinted windows LOL
