#ftmswhoclimb

A friend of a friend made a comment that my upper body looked “buff.” Muscle development is so slow that I don’t really notice anymore. I took photos to compare to some from months ago and I can definitely tell! Thanks friend of a friend for pointing it out! Got me feeling like 💪🏻😎 #bouldering #bouldershoulders #ftmswhoclimb #ftm #trans #tryingtofeelgoodinmyskin

Climbing has drastically changed my view of exercise. I set a goal weight of 125# over two years ago; progress toward that goal has been slow and inconsistent. In the past, this would have been extremely discouraging. This time, I’ve focused on the improvements I’ve been making in the gym and celebrating the cool things I can do with my body. I’m aware now that when I’m struggling to reach a goal, sometimes it just takes a shift in perspective. Way more than what the mirror shows me, I’m so proud of how I’ve learned to use my body in new and fun ways. #fueledbypizza #ftmswhoclimb #ftm #trans
