I didn’t corset yesterday, though it was in my mind. I could have, but I have a lingering wonder if I have damaged my dent. I was reckless falling alseep last night because I could feel the changes that one day left at the base of my rib cage. It didn’t hurt, but it was a concious feeling that something was indeed different. I drove to a campground today and felt no different in the car, but was imaginging what it might have been like to drive that long, with the modern curves of the driver seat, propped up by a corset. As I came home and did labor to deconstruct the pioneering project for the troop, I was also aware of what the changes did from the 21st. My abdomen was different. So to what end? In Victorian Secrets, the author is clearly on a path to be corseted all the time, with no end date. I think I had imagined corseting until I got to my goal weight and then maybe stopping, but its no socially acceptable for me to corset, let alone for me to do it for the next decade or two.

Pretty sure Wife wouldn’t be happy about it, but it seems like I could develop a 16 hr schedule 5 days a week? Is that even practical? Am I messing up my dent?

I was headed down an unnecessarily dramatic theme earlier. There are, as far as I can tell, plenty of part time corseters… when I started it, wore it daily, and watched my food, I nearly closed the 28" underbust (before I freaked out). The change I still feel from the 21st is just confirmation that I could - if its not hurting my hole - keep going.

I noticed even yesterday that I had converted to chest breathing for a bit, but that’s just another thing that leaves me wondering if part of why my dent hasn’t bothered me for the past 40 years is because of unconcious things I do that make it tollerable - like how I breathe!
