more bodily oddities

I seem to be getting used to the hormones & anti-hormones. I no longer feel the urge to guzzle soy sauce at every opportunity.

Something's happened to my appetite: I no longer get the munchies after dinner. Instead, I get them during the day. Explain that if you dare.

Boobs? Growing right along. In fact, I'm a little worried that only the tightest of my sports bras is doing an adequate job of hiding the girls.

I've mentioned that my butt's gotten bigger, haven't I? I'm one of the few women on the planet who's pleased with that, mostly. Why just mostly? The Bar Mitzvah is in five weeks. I checked, and I still just barely fit into the suit I planned to wear. Whew!

I've been watching my arms for signs of less hair, but so far I don't see a difference. (And you thought I wore long gloves so much just 'cause they look cool.)

If you can manage to get your arms waxed (or sugared - way better, IMO!) then that should help a bunch. I get mine done just a few times a year, and it grows back finer, plus no stubble to deal with...

Heh. Well, I kind of need the hair for another eight months or so, but if it's still there in december, sugar it is!

Seconding @leenerella's comment. While I can only second-guess how genetics, hormones, and follicles will play out for you, your arm hair may in fact be getting lighter, but you can't see it right now.

One thing I did was to invest in a hair trimmer that I could use to shorten my armhair, which would let you keep your arm hair but gradually trim away the darker and coarser parts of the hair. What grows in its place is often less dark and coarse. And since there was enough hair grown out, it didn't feel stubbly. But YMMV--I never had heavy body hair.
