New Year, New Beginnings

So this year in my overall personal plan. I have stated I will get the Legal work of my name change going around my birthday in July. But one month in and I'm already changing my name where I can "without malice" do so. At work they have begun calling me Brittany around the end of last year and its really starting to stick. And while I enjoy the fact I am fully accepted by the staff there I still need to seek further employment for funding reasons. Thus I began to seek new employment. For about three weeks I went about my old routine. This week however it started to bother me that I felt I was presenting a lie when I sent in a application or resume with my old name. I look very androgynous and even more female in how I act these days add to that I no longer feel comfortable in any mens clothing. Thus I decided to start putting myself out there as Brittany for any job prospect I can find. I am fully prepared if this hurts my chances getting the job. But I feel being upfront and open has done me well in my prospects so far and presenting myself as who I am and in a way I am comfortable I feel will help me in the overall long run.

Other Things on my New Year. Get a date (haven't had one in over a decade) and I'm starting to feel lonely.

Be more active. I need to find and try new things.

And of course the common lose weight. (I made my goal last year just need to keep it down and lose about 20-30 more lbs)
