Here is the next question for the trans challenge questionaire.

12) What are you doing to stay healthy for transitioning mentally and physically?

To stay healthy mentally I have a local support group I attend every sunday evening. Due to the veteran health care I will start counseling so I can possible get them to pay for my top surgery. All i have to do is see a shrink and show that I'm handling hormone therapy well and that I'm ready to get top surgery. Physically I've compleatly changed my diet. Due to testosterone increasing my cholesteral even higher than it was before(note it was high to begin with). I also have been eating better to slim down to prevent dog ears and testosterone can cause a great deal of weight gain if you don't work out reguarly so I continue to work out but I do it more often. I've been focusing also a lot on chest exercises because it can help to make the surgery less complecated and have better outcomes. Along with that taking T and focusing on that area can help reduce breast size.
