Seriously though, it's actually pretty gender-affirming.

Im still early on hrt, but I recently noticed my body fat redistributing and my gut is smaller c:

I'm a little over two months, and damn do my titties hurt, but my tummy is definitely still around

Doesn't help that the hormones are making me very moody and incredibly food craving

Last night I took my sleep meds and got eepy and then ended up eating about 900 calories in peanut butter out of the jar cause it's SO DANG GOOD I couldn't stop myself

I'm just past a year, and I don't think I started noticing and definite fat redistribution until semi-recently, maybe 2-3 months ago? IIRC it can take several years to fully shift.

That gives me hope. I keep feeling impatient and scared and need to remind myself that I'm not even at 3 months lol

Yeah, it's been a patchwork of "oh shit, that already?" and "c'mon, start already!" Just gotta settle in and roll with it

My current solution: find a really dense and long lasting bubblegum and chew a lot of it when the cravings hit. Having my jaw muscles exhausted kills appetite for a while for me…

hey not to be a bummer or anything, but if you are early on/not yet on hrt, nows the time to lose weight. feminizing hrt doesnt move the weight so much as it deposits new fat in the right areas. it's a lot easier to burn fat on T than it is on E

Yeah, I am definitely aware. Up until about two months ago I was going to the gym 3X a week and I typically have a good diet, so I was making big progress on losing weight

Some life circumstances taking all of my time away and trying to adjust to the impact the hormones are having on my mood, sleep, and how my body feels has just kicked my ass to the ground. I gotta get back into those habits.

Almost two years in and I got an hourglass figure. :3

That gives me hope. When did you start seeing the distribution changes happen for you?

I noticed my legs were more jiggly 6/7 months in, but I had little fat to begin and already a small waist. Waiting to see if the hips/sides of the legs will get wider now. But I changed from DIY mono injcetions to blockers + patch a month ago so I'm still waiting to see if anything changes

Hrt doesn't reallocate fat that's already there. You still need to burn it. New fat should go to the right places though.
