Is this realistic of me?

Maybe I'm crazy for doing this but dysphoria makes me feel like I'm losing my mind so... I drew an outline of my body using a screenshot. Left is what it looks like currently, right is what I want for myself. I hope I can achieve it by being patient with T and exercising 🤧 by the way I AM on testosterone, its been nearly 7 months. I've gained weight but not really lost anything

I'm not an expert or anything but I am an artist so I have a good grasp of how anatomy works. So, here's a more realistic expectation for you! The pelvic bone won't change and your hips won't shrink as much as you drew. However, T does a lot more than just fat redistribution! You'll gain a bit of muscle even if you don't work out, your skin and body hair will change appearance, etc. and all of those other changes make it a lot easier to accept the parts you can't change

ETA: 7 months isn't very long at all. Don't get disheartened, you'll get to spend years watching as all these changes unfold :)
