Take the herbs for long enough and your features change, your skin softens and thins and your cheeks plump up. If you pluck your eyebrows and do not let your jaw hang loose (like most men do) then your face rounds out and you look more feminine. A permanent slight smile and you are nearly done.

That is the real difficulty. It can depend on the age of the kids and I think that girls are better at accepting this than boys. If you have teenage daughters then they may be a lot more accepting than you expect, especially if you present this as a medical issue/problem rather than a choice - do not let them assume that you chose to do this. Explain that you are driven, that it is like a racehorse springing out at the start of a race - it does not know why it is running, it just knows it has to run.

We have all been there and done that. Many TVs have dumped their wardrobe in the skip to stop themselves, but it always returns and it is usually stronger when it does. Sooner or later you have to give in.

I am willing to bet that you have never found anyone you can discuss this with before. Well, we are here but find a support group. You really need to talk this out with someone who understands.
