Sorry I haven't been on in a while. In the process of becoming homeless/working full time.
Due to financial problems (if you didn't get that from the homeless remark), I absolutely cannot afford any type of trans hormones/surgery/whatever. Not only that, but my other health problems are starting to cause concern, so I'd have to take care of them before anything else. I also started dating a guy I'm very fond of, and I don't know that I could try transitioning again even if it became financially possible. I'm only attracted to manly men, and I just don't know that I could ever be happy with a gay or bi man, and would never seriously date a woman. It just leaves me in a bad place no matter what.
So, for the moment, I'm back to trying to get a bigger butt again, but I also want semi-hard abs and decent arm muscle tone. I don't want to look overly feminine, but I don't want to look too masculine to get a guy either. I feel soooo much better now that I'm off female hormones, and working out (as infrequent as it's been) is also helping raise my natural T, which is helping me feel so much better. For the time being I think I'd be happy in some sort of middle ground. Being too female definitely triggered me, but I seem to be doing ok with my body's natural hormone levels.
THANK YOU!!! I was actually suspecting you could spot reduce that way, but hadn't been able to find any articles backing it up in any way. Great news, though! I'm still working on bringing my belly in some, without losing any of my butt (I got sick for a few weeks and wasn't able to eat, and my ass lost so much fat and looked so awful). Maybe I'll be able to get rid of some extra arm fat this way, too!
