Reason I post this pic here is that I was a bulky heavy built recreational body builder and thought will never achieve feminine body however, my dream was stronger then realities nagging head. It took 4 years of relentless diet of 800 calorie per day and nutrient rich foods which supplied all my body really needed. What was rather amazing that such diet didn't stop me from indulging in things I love the taste of but rather limited the size of each meal and allowed for multiple meals during the day. No preset lunch, dinner, whatever, whenever hunger was realy strong I would have a fist size serving of whatever felt wholesome, tuna, salmon, capers, green beans, extra virgin olive oil, spinach salad with fresh tomato and balsamic vinegar. After a while I noticed that my cravings started to shift towards what my body needed and I was able to feel more closely what demanded attention. Dark chocolate was the only food I craved and couldn't find the reason for but rich in minerals such as magnesium, copper, potassium and iron and antioxidants it felt good and wholesome as well.
When I started at 217 lbs and straight as a board, no butt, no waist, narrow hips wide shoulders I went on a whim and tried hard to block the mirror image I so dreaded. My vision took 4 years 2 of which now I am finding out contrary to basic belief, that starting on soy based hormones actually readied my bodies estro-receptors and allowed their gradual warmup before the big cocktail of pharmaceuticals got introduced just 5 months ago. The results were astonishing even to the highly trained medical professionals whose professional response was; "WOW" I am proud of this body, but want to let every girl know, who is starting and doubts achieving feminine body, this is not a dream, nor wishful thinking but real, sensual, feminine and mine, achieved at the young age of 44 :)

Go and DO IT GIRL, even if it seems impossible, nothing is!



Believe me, there is something to hide behind my arms  :o

Inna, that's such a beautiful reminder to keep patience, something I struggle with relentlessly.  I want everything and I want it now, to the point that it wakes me up in the middle night with racing thoughts.  This thread of yours really gave me a lot of hope and peace. :)

Big hugs to you, hon!  You look amazing!

Yeah, this.

You do look great indeed, and thanks for the motivation.

What a lovely post! You look fantastic, inna, and if I were into girls I'm sure I'd be drooling right about now. :D I doubt I'll ever be half as pretty as you, but all I hope for is to one day be able to gaze into the mirror and not see a man's body. And your post gives me hope that I can do just that. Much love~!

Inna,
Wow!
Thank you so much for the encouragement.
I started hrt 1 and 1/2 years ago at age 59.
Now I have 38B breast and have gained a little fat on my hips.
Hugs,

It's honestly great to hear encouraging words like this.

I'm only two months into HRT, and I've obviously had bad self-image issues my whole life, even though I've never had truly chiseled looks. I'm also only 25, and despite everyone constantly telling me that I never looked manly and have pretty looks for a guy, always when I've stared into the mirror I've seen the dirtiest, snarliest of manly visages. This is slowly changing for me as I go through hormone treatment. My appearance is already changing slightly, and I've felt loads of relief. I still have a long way to go, though.

One of my biggest fears has been, of course, that I start on the hormones and nothing happens.

LOL, what a ludicrous joke that thought is.  ::) Two months in, and things are already happening.

You've 98% convinced me.  Only my nagging self-doubt is preventing it from being 100%.  I've previously lost 30 pounds in three months when going 100% vegetarian due to cholesterol issues.  Nurses at the doctors office were envious, asked what my secret was, then gave me my blood test results - absolutely no change in cholesterol.  Congratulations on having the serious will-power and determination to live on 800 calories daily for an extended period of time.  In my case, I would probably have to start around 1200 for several months, just to adjust to eating less and better.

Thank you for providing inspiration.  It's something we all really need from time to time.
