Today 159.5lb into solid waspie at 9:00am to 30.0". Then I tried a brand new pastel blue glitter polish on my fingers. It is very glittery.

On Thursday, I went to the UPS Store, gas station, bank with a corset. The wind was for sure pushing my shirt to emphasize my waist. I scheduled my first full fiction novel to publish on April 1. A friend asked me what I feel - and with my previous book history, I know even getting 10 people to read it will require marketing. So I guess I generally expect 10 people to read, of which a moniority might leave a lackluster review.

Lucy sells a shirt on Azzle that ays something like “this doesn’t hurt, leave me alone” to use as a liner. I went to buy one, but the tank top isn’t available anymore and it wouldn’t let me switch the design to a different tank. Online “health facts” say corseting can cause misc, mostly undefined digestive problems because the corset presses on the stomach. Some say heart burn, or pinched nerves in the back. I have noticed that as I get tighter, that even with the corset off, that my stomach feels more often like it does when I eat while corseting. There are moments where I’m concerned, equally ones where I’m glad it’s working. This has been complicated to navigate. Also decided to let my leg hair grow back out. I’ll be wearing shorts for Wood Badge and don’t really want to end up with silent exclusionary judgement from one of my only, loose friend groups.

Getting a 159 anything weight today feels good. It’s not fast enough for the cruise, but corseting feels especially good today.

Removed at 3:05 for family arrival prep. Instantly hungry, I only had a Celcius and half a protein shake so far today - they were keeping me full as long as I was cinched-in.

Wife took son to work. Could have gotten another hour.
