Before I get too far into my very first article on here (I do hope you enjoy it), I would like to briefly provide some information about myself.
My name is Jacinta and I have been crossdressing for less than 12 months, not long before joining this great community. I am very new to the scene, so last year I did what any new person to the community does – shop like there is no tomorrow! Unfortunately, in my shopping spree, I ordered some items that were too small for me – this includes dresses, bras and panties (I underestimated my true measurements!).
2022 was not a great year for me as it was stressful and terrible, which put a toll on me both physically and mentally, and led to not sleeping well, not eating right and putting on weight; I was at the heaviest I have ever been! At the end of last year, I decided that I am going to change my outlook on life, in particular with regards to my body. For about 10 years, I have been insecure about my body/look. Whilst I am not obese, I am slightly overweight. I wanted to have a body that shows I am fit and healthy, which will boost my confidence. I have tried this in previous years, but have failed very quickly; however this year is very different!
One of the few highlights in 2022 was embracing my feminine side and starting to crossdress. I don’t get to do it enough as no one close to me knows (as I only dress in private), however, when I get the chance to dress up – I feel so happy and feminine.
As I still have the items I bought last year that were too small for me, crossdressing has given me the extra boost to continue to work hard to get that perfect body! Whilst my male persona wants to have a chilled six pack, Jacinta wants to go for a more feminine look with skinny legs, an hour glass figure and of course a nice looking backside! As Jacinta is now part of my life, I am following her direction. This includes lots of cardio, squats and lunges at the gym.
It has been about one month since I have started to look after my body (going to the gym, eating better etc), and I am just starting to see the weight slowly coming off! While it may be only a couple of kilos (or pounds depending in what the part of the world you are located), I feel like I am starting to get over the hump, and I feel it comes down to wanting to crossdress and be more in touch with my feminine side. I am hoping to reach my target weight goal and hopefully that will not only allow me to finally be able to wear those clothes that have encouraged me to lose the weight, but it will hopefully give me the confidence to venture out into the world as Jacinta.
Hopefully there will a part 2 to this article as part of my life in 2023! I appreciate you taking the time to read it and I would love to get your thoughts and opinions on this.
I hope this year is a perfect year for you all!
Lots of Love,
Jacinta xoxo
This is so awesome. I have the similar goals and have been working on improving my body. When working out, I now think about how this will help me look in outfits. Oddly I find it very motivating. Thanks for sharing this post.
Awe. Thanks Jessica. I appreciate it.
Keep up the good work dear. Being the best CD presenting in public is the best motivator for our health and we look so sexy without all that weight. Win win!
Thank you Michelle.
Congratulations Jacinta and well stated! I know enhancing my female presentation has been a prime motivator for me to stay in shape, and that has had positive effects on me as a whole, both physically and mentally!
I appreciate it Kris.
Thanks for sharing your story. Good luck reaching your goals!
Thank you Catharine.
Hi Jacinta!
Well done! Keep going. You are doing great.
Love and hugs from Stephanie ❤️
Thank you Stephanie. I appreciate it.
Good for you, i also have the same goal in wanting to get better for myself. Congratulations on your success so far and keep it up i have to remind myself when its about consistency and getting better little by little everyday.
Thanks Jessica. Much appreciated.
I am also looking after my body, not just for appearance but for health reasons. Women live longer because they are more health conscious.
Great to hear that as well Dana. I hope it is going well.
Yes Jacinta, the desire to look good in a dress is a powerful motivator. In my case, it was trying to use a corset to get the shape I wanted to have while wearing a dress. I loved the way it made me look, but it was painful to put on. After losing 15 lbs, it is a lot easier to create that feminine shape. It is a powerful motivator indeed.
Keep at it Girl! And good luck!
Thank you Kendra. I appreciate it and congratulations on your success as well!
Sport is one way to do natural changes. As the image suggests dance is one the best way to get feminine look. Ballet was my hobby, but now I enjoy Afrodance and Samba. But most of the classes are planned for girls and women so they train those feminine sides of the body.
Sport is one of my pasttimes however it has been a while since I did anything so to get back into it, I am starting with going to the gym. Dance sounds cool however I am not much of a dancer haha
Jacinta Hello and welcome to C.D.H. it’s nice that you are taking care of your body, everyone should. cross dressing is a drug may i say to help us deal with everyday life and helps us relax and let our feminine side out. i believe every man has a feminine side, just like women do, they dress in men clothing all the time and get away with it, so to me wearing a dress or skirt is just part of clothing, but for society it’s called female clothing, then real women should be wearing them and not men clothing. i… Read more »
