Stopping crossdressing due to health issues?

Zen lady I understand now after reading your last post. When I was a teen aged boy growing I was shocked when I found some playboy magazines under my dads pickup seat. I now understand him better. A rugged army vet reading a playboy, I don't think any less of him and when he died I felt I knew him better than my sisters ever did. My mom used to dress me in dresses and let me play in her makeup when I was very young. She wanted a daughter. I understand your feelings as I have four adult kids of my own and ten grandkids I would be horrified if they knew their grandpa enjoyed wearing ladies clothes and makeup. I want them to know me as their manly grandpa and the kids as the shinning example of a very male dad. I have wondered about what they would think if I died dressed. I realize it wouldn't make any difference to me but don't want to leave the wrong impression and crush them. After saying all this I figure as long as I'm healthy I am going to enjoy this and when I get old I'll quit. I'm 66 now and stay in very good shape and try to eat healthy. We never know when we'll be called home as they say but I hope it's not when I'm dressed up. By the way I'm not passable either but it's an activity I enjoy.

Hi Zen. Be honest with yourself on both counts.

If you're experiencing guilt anxiety stress from enjoying women's clothes then pack it all up and store it away for six months.

But I doubt that your CDing is the great issue. You need to be in full control of your heath without giving in to childish taste based nutrition.
It's really simple. No sugar, salt, etc.. Exercise. And avoid all stress.

I'm at the age that I'm watching my generation getting older and dying.
And I just don't think crosdressing is the grim reaper.

Your comment at #25 answers my question. You're afraid your secret would be revealed if you keeled over and died of a heart attack. What if you were walking to the library tomorrow and a car went out of control and slammed into you and killed you? Two things.

First, get a good physical workup and try to correct any medical issues. And, adopt with the approval of your doctor a good exercise routine. See a dietician.

Second, if you cannot tell your mother, then leave her a letter to be read upon your demise. Of course, what happens if she predeceases you?

I often wonder what will happen if my wife predeceases me. Or, if my wife and I are both taken at the same time? What will my son and daughter think? I know I won't be around to hear their conversations.....maybe I will? I just hope my little 'quirk' will not negate the positive image of myself over these years.

Not exactly a pretty picture, know what I mean? :( Nobody knows I crossdress, not even my mother. I worry about what she'd think and do if she found out if something were to happen to me later in life.

Zenlady, see "Death, Unexpectedly" in this forum. Lots of advice given.

Interesting timing for me to read this thread. I am 72 and at 8 AM tomorrow a heart monitor will be put on me. I guess it will be a little troublesome but I never thought of it being in the way of my panties. Hehe
And if I do die I probably won't get embarrassed. ����

I haven't been here for a few months. One of the last times I was here I was excited about being able to dress while my wife was going to be gone for nine days. I was going to live as a woman for that many days. The day before her departure I almost died due to a massive blood clot in my leg. My wife still went on her trip after I was stabilized and hospitalized for four days. After I was brought home I had absolutely no energy to dress. I was extremely discouraged about that. After my wife came home we found out that she had brought some 'bugs' home from where she had been. We decided to call an exterminator and I thought for sure he would be treating my closet where I kept all my feminine stuff. I bagged everything up and moved it to our garage. I figured I had well over 800 pounds of stuff. I eventually moved everything back but except for panties every day and a bra every once in awhile I haven't really dressed at all. That episode has really gotten me to think about my mortality. I'm near 70 and I really don't know what to do about everything at this time at this time. I sure don't want to give up CDing but I certainly don't want my wife discovering all my stuff and having the burden to dispose of everything.
