Just a Quick Hello

Hi & Hugs Everyone! My name is JamieLee and this is a big step for me as most of my CDing has been in the closet. My wife is not a big fan of this and actually hates it, but as I know and most of you it's very hard to just stop. Hopefully I will find some answers here [Where is all this going?, Why do I do this?, etc. etc.] At 6'-1" ~220 lbs I'm not exactly a small gurl, but I do feel like one. Thanks for all the help and guidance in advance.

Thanks ladies,
This is very difficult for me as I have always kept this to myself, i.e in the closet and i guess thinkning it would just go away or it was a phase and now i am not sure what it is. I guess the first concern i have is if i come out of the closet i may actually and really like it, the second is the time away from the family. i'm just very confused. Oh yes, i can't stop buying outfits and that is where the wife is really upset, waste of $$$$$

Hi JamieLee,

Welcome to this very friendly, understanding group. As for it being a phase? No way. It is a permanent part of your personality. Live with it - don't try to explain it. Greater minds than ours have tried and failed. Don't feel guilty. Just enjoy it when and where you can.

As for cost of clothes - look into places like the GoodWill Store. Bargain treasures to be found there.

It was nice to meet you in the chatroom the other day. Don't be shy. We are all willing to help.

Hugs,

Lydia
