Hello everyone!

I’ve hit a challenging time with my weight. I’m in transition from male to female, and my body chemistry’s been all over the place…

Oh dear, every time my prescription was changed I ended up binging! Fortunately the meds are now steady, so I can think about losing the weight that I gained. The additional difficulty is that my body is actively storing fat as I acquire my feminine “curves”!

Calorie control wasn’t working, so I’ve decided to give 5:2 a go – I find “going without” easier than control, I think. It has another benefit that I don’t think is emphasised enough: the rest of the week I have to eat *properly* and so have to address the eating habits that caused me to be overweight in the first place.

In my case, this includes learning to eat as a lady should, rather than a slightly unhappy bloke did.

So I’m currently 12st and a size 16; my ambition is to get down to a nice 12!

Kisses,
Melissa
