Wow, I showed myself, as hideous as am. So excited to do so though. At first I was worried what if someone who knows me sees me? Then the question popped into my head why are they on this site?  I realize it's the internet and everything is public. Bright side it will drum up a conversation at least. Been going to a therapist since August  There's no therapist where I live for Trans/CD. The therapist was a Great deal of help though  helped me be more comfortable who I am.  I got to have one wonderful day of being me and a wonderful sexual experience with my wife. I don't believe that will ever happen again but at least it was once. Been reaching out on other groups no connections yet  I fantasize about having that experience with a man just not sure I could cheat on my wife. Not sure what's next for me.

It's good to see you, hon! I'm always happy to see people being themselves. 

Hugs, Devlyn

You're not hideous Jasmine. I like that picture. I'm glad you had a chance to be yourself.

Let me go dig up some pictures of me from 10 years ago, I'll show you what hideous really looks like. I see nothing hideous in your picture!

Jazmine,

Please, do not be so hard on yourself. We have all been there. We all have felt your pain. 

For myself, I decided to take control of my life late but better than never. I identified my areas I needed to change and I made a plan to deal with each item. The single most important item on "my to do list" was to accept myself. 

You are much younger than me and you have a good starting point. Keep in touch and keep posting here on Susan's Place. Let's see what you can do!

I have been crossdressing in secret for years,I have ventured into public but have never been photograghed....your inspiring post has strengthened my resolve to soon post my own profile pic of me as me.....thank you for your courage pretty one. a random search for cross dressing forums led me here and to your awesome example...ty

Hi Jazmine,
Your picture looks great. We are sooo critical of ourselves when we should just embrace who we are.
I am glad you took the step to upload your avatar. I made the same decision you did, if you are on this site you are like minded so be brave and share who you are.

We all start somewhere. I started out at 300 lbs. I am now around 220. Still a little chubby but my goal of 180 seems possible. If I can do it, so can you.  If you expect a sprint however you will be disappointed.  Nothing is impossible if you work for it. In a year or two we will be calling you Farrah.

  Hi Emmy

  I'm Laurie,  I see that you are new here. So please let me say, Welcome To Susan's Place! Come on in and take a good look around.  Perhaps I can even get you to hop on over to the Introductions Thread and  create a post to tell us a little bit more about yourself so we can get to know you a little better and greet you properly.

  Also I'll add some links and information below that can help you get more out of our site. Please take time to become familiar with them especially the RED one as we are always getting questions that are answered there.

Laurie
