July, 23 months. Time's running out on dealing with the eviction thing—but I actually manage to fix it. ✌✌️

Slowly beginning to get into better shape again, with lots of walking and healthier eating. Feeling more playful again after replacing much of the impending doom with rest. (So much rest.)

No matter how little exercise I got, I always had a very muscular build. There are pictures from my yeti couch potato days, when all I ever did was eat unhealthy food and sit at the computer, and I still look really strong. It's just the way my body is, whether on testosterone or not. It's been stressful because of the dysphoria—but this month was when HRT had finally changed me enough that I could begin appreciating it.

This is actually the first time I've been able to appreciate my own body at all, ever!

Double mirror selfie! To the right is my back, butt and legs, wearing a grey tight t-shirt and black tight shorts. To the left is my face and my upper body seen from in front of it through another mirror. Sitting on a white sheet and looking up at the camera right above my head, totally undressed, my left hand and my chin covering my chest, sticking out my tongue so that it obscures my crotch. What you actually see in this picture is thighs, left arm, face and tongue. Colourfully filtered picture of me looking down at you with an expression like I'm examining you, my hair floofed up in circular curls mirror selfie. I'm looking at my phone. I'm wearing blue pants and a yellow top with a messy blue and turquoise print.

August, 2 years! I started walking for several hours per day, for both my mental and physical health.

There are so many mornings now when I wake up, put on my old worn out glasses, go to the bathroom and see a girl in the mirror. It's so joyful! Even if it's still sometimes confusing after so many years thinking that this was impossible. It clearly isn't though. 🥰🥰

selfie indoors, wearing a hoodie with a zipper selfie on a dirt road through the forest, slate grey dress and red bag mirror selfie, light grey t-shirt tucked into light blue boot cut jeans, right arm held in front of my tummy, leaning back a bit and putting more weight on my left hip, head tilted to the right with a serious expression selfie without makeup and with a visible facial hair shadow. wearing my crappy old worn out glasses. smiling!
