Because...bathroom selfies are fun when you feel good about what you see in the mirror. I've been struggling with a bit of dysphoria lately, because I haven't been able to work out as much/as consistently as I used to while I've been on the road. My body (specifically my stomach and lower back/sides/hips) has been loosing it's definition, and sculpting the body I've always wanted has been placed more on the back burner. However, I was able do a Crossfit workout and head to Planet Fitness to work a bit more on my shoulders and chest yesterday, and I saw myself again when I looked in the mirror last night. It's amazing what just being able to work out can do for my dysphoria, and how much of an impact not working out has on me and the way I see myself. It's a fear of going backwards - a fear that if I'm not working towards my physical goal, it's stunted and the progress I had made is melting away. I was feeling much more confident and like myself last night - just knowing I did work during the day to make some continued progress. The mind is a complex and strange animal. Regardless of any dysphoria I feel, I feel fortunate and am so grateful for the progress I've made thus far. Also, tomorrow will mark a year and a half on T already! I can't believe it. 💙 #ftm #trans #transgender #transman #selfie #iseeme #confidence #loveyourself #progress #transition #hrt #workforthebodyyouwant #ftmfitness #grateful #itgetsbetter #beatingdysphoria #transandhappy #transandproud
