Stuff 54: Resolutions

Did You Resolve?

By J.J. Atwell

Here we are just starting the new year and tradition holds that we make resolutions for the coming year – things that we want to accomplish as the year progresses. I’m writing this a few days before 2025 officially arrives and have thought about some resolutions for my girl self. 

Mine

I narrowed the field down to four achievable resolutions. Here they are:

1. Lose 12 pounds

2. Get my ears pierced

3. Try going blonde

4. Experiment with larger boobs

Exciting? Maybe not. Some are just practical and others are aspirational. I’ll explain.

Lose Weight

I suspect this is something that just about everybody resolves for the new year. For me, it’s needed because after getting down to a new low weight around the beginning of last year, I’ve slowly added it all back. You might have read a couple of posts back in that I’m too fat for my skinny jeans. Yes, I want to get back into those skinny jeans in the new year. 

More importantly, it works for my guy side as well because it is a health risk. My doctor tells me that I’m bordering on diabetic. I’ve been managing to keep that at bay by watching my diet, weight and getting exercise so far, but I need to get back down to where I was.

The Other Three

The remaining three resolutions are more about my girl self and making by best presentation when out as JJ. 

I resolved to get my ears pierced because I really am a rebel at heart. I’ll wear simple studs in guy mode. But in girl mode, I want to wear noticeable jewelry like dangly earrings. Or perhaps, something simple but feminine like pearl studs or diamonds. I currently use clip-on earrings, but they hurt after a few hours and my selection is rather limited. With pierced ears I’ll have a wider range of options including borrowing from my SO.

I also have been thinking about a different hair color and perhaps, style. I think that JJ might look good as a blonde. Not a platinum blonde, but a more natural, highlighted blonde look. This will require a trip to a wig store to experiment with different colors and perhaps, styles as I do it. One of my CD sisters and her SO have chatted with me about wig shopping. We will probably mount a joint wig excursion hunting for the right one shortly after the new year. 

The last one, bigger boobs, is more than just a fun thing. I’m thinking that a slightly larger breast will look better on JJ than how she looks now. Not a big change. Going up one cup size might be enough. That will probably happen in the first half of the year as I replace some older forms with new ones. 

I’ll Be Back

I’ll occasionally report back on my progress towards my resolutions and I’d love to hear what you might have resolved. I welcome comments and suggestions here on Stana’s page or by email at Jenn6nov at-sign gmail dot com.
