I practically live off chocolate milk. It accounts for nearly half my daily calorie intake. I have a horrible appetite so if it wasn't for that I'd be skin and bone.

SAAAAAME here! Chocolate milk is also fantastic right after a workout.
Although I've been learning to eat better (such as tofu, lentils, etc).

Glad I'm not alone! But you work out, so you probably eat a lot too? Lately all I eat is two eggs for breakfast, a snack and a small meal for dinner. Everything else is milk.
That's a lot of coffee.
Do you need it, or do you just like coffee so much?
I usually drink tea (earl grey <3) or just water.
And I agree, chocolate protein shakes are yummy ^_^
(vanilla ones aren't bad too)

Obligatory: KHAAAAAANNNNN!
To be honest, I've actually reduced my portions from how I used to eat.
I used to eat 3 larger meals. Now I eat 5 smaller meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner and 2 snacks).
I've lost 35 lbs since March actually! I wasn't a heavy guy to begin with, but I had gained some weight after I broke up with my ex-fiance of 7 years.

While you guys are talking healthy. I'm eating some nice chicken legs.
Oh god. I know what you mean. Whenever its been a particularly stressful day I crave fried chicken. Especially Popeyes. If I had some, life would be wonderful. Something about it is the ultimate catharsis. It makes everything right with the world.
Speak of the devil....my boyfriend is making friend chicken for the 2 of us right now!

Most black teas taste terrible. Green teas are generally better tasting and have many more health benefits than black teas or coffee. Oolong is good.. and then, of course, Moroccan Mint. which is amazing.

You want his fresh meat?
I don't know but it's not good for me. I'm always hungry yet everything tastes like shit. I'm not losing weight though, I guess thanks to all the milk, energy drinks and beer.

Tea bags? Not a true tea phase.
A good quality white tea from China or something is amazing. Brew it at like 160F starting for one minute, then repeat another four times with the same leaves adding a minute each time. A good white tea is great, it's refreshing and clean tasting in a way similar to water, and it has a much less grassy taste than green tea does, a good unflavored white tea even has these subtle floral and fruity undertones, it's weird. Yunnan Sourcing has some exceptionally affordable loose leaf white and green teas, their Silver Needles and Jing Gu are decent to quite good imo.
On that note (and I RARELY post here), there's a lot of really good looking gay-gaffers!

Hello guys, I've been thinking about coming out and since the coming out thread seems to be dead ( i might repost it just to resurrect it and possibly help someone else that might need the thread), I have some questions.
How did you come out?
Did you talk with each parent separately or both?
How did they reacted?
And how did you get your extended family to know.
I'm personally looking to come out to my Dad mom sis and grandma( around the same time or soon after if anything).
I'm sorry for having to ask the questions here but I think I might find the help I need here faster than on that thread. Thank You in advance guys

I simply told them when i was 16 or 17. Sat them down individually (They were seperated). They both reacted totally normal... and i have only told a few extended family members or they can figure it out on their own since im not too close to them.
I guess it was nowhere near a true tea phase. Man, I just got the hot water from the work cafeteria and dipped the tea bag. I left my tea phase at work. So are your teas basically tasteless? The ones I tried tasted so watery, and what little taste I did get was just not good at all. At that point, I'd rather just get some water. Refreshing and clean tasting indeed.

How did you come out?
I just went to my parents room while they were watching something and told them. It wasn't even planned. I just randomly thought I should tell them.
Did you talk with each parent separately or both?
I talked to both of them at the same time.
How did they reacted?
My mom didn't like it at all, and she still doesn't like it. She still tries to set me up with random women. My dad at first, said there was nothing wrong with it, and she seemed to have a more positive tone. The next day, he changed his mind, and he wasn't very happy about it. I guess my mom got to him. Anyway, he didn't act out or anything. He just said what I'm doing is bad.
And how did you get your extended family to know.
They don't know, and I have no plans for telling them.

Well I wish you luck on your coming out. I'm not really a fan of the whole coming out thing. I no longer feel the need to have this weird announcement about it, and part of me regrets having done it. Anyway. I'll answer the questions now

How did you come out?
I came out 9 years ago. I actually left my mom a letter and left it on the table. I then left the house for the day. She ended up calling me and asking me to come home so we could chat.
Granted, it might not have been the best way to do it, but I was scared to death. I had just moved to Calgary and I didn't know too many people here, but I was tired of living a lie.
Did you talk with each parent separately or both?
I talked with my mom first alone. My mom then told my dad and brother a few days later.
How did they react?
Surprisingly amazing. My mom cried a little bit, but only because she was then coming to the realization that I was going to live a harder life. She explained that she meant about having to deal with homophobia and stuff like that. She had this image of me settling down with a girl and having kids, so it was a natural reaction for her to realize that wasn't going to happen.
She also cried because I had been hiding it for so long (I had known I was different by age 3, and knew I was gay by 12 and went to a Catholic all-boys Jesuit High School). She felt guilty I couldn't tell them sooner. She had also mentioned that me coming out was quite a shock to her, because I don't act like a stereotypical gay man (which she jokingly defined as someone with a lisp and dressed nice haha).
After we talked though, it was all good. We had a VERY long conversation, but then she asked what actor I thought was gay. I forgot what actor I picked, but her response was, "Well, at least you have great taste in men....and you got that from me."
My mom told my dad and brother a few days later. Both were completely supportive.
And how did you get your extended family to know.
My mom told all my extended family.
Everyone in my immediate and extended family are extremely supportive of me. It's never been an issue what-so-ever. I'm so thankful for the awesome family that I do have.
I had so many doubts for so many years about how they would react, but coming out was literally the best thing I could have done. From that moment, I finally felt like I could live my life how I wanted to.
I've also been dating my boyfriend for 2 years now, and my family has accepted him like he's already officially part of the family. Granted, he's also very pretty to look at as well, so that helps.

How did you come out?
When I was 16, a friend of mine accidentally told his mom, who then told my mom. I eventually told her the truth because it was so hard lying at that point. She said she doesn't think I am and essentially put me back in the closet because of all of this fear she instilled in me if I came out to everyone.
But then, when I was 24, my mom and I were talking about something I can't remember and she said "Well, we don't have to worry about you being gay or anything." I shrugged as I was on my laptop. She asked me if I am gay, I shrugged some more. She started getting hysterical and was yelling and crying because I had essentially come out to her. She said I couldn't tell my grandparents because I would kill them (yes, I'm serious) and that I have to tell my dad. I told my dad later that day no problem but he was disappointed.
Did you talk with each parent separately or both?
Separately. Because of the timing. I would have preferred to tell them both at the same time though.
How did they react?
My mom was hysterical and even though it's been a couple of years since I came out the SECOND time, she still refuses to acknowledge it. My dad is pretty chill about it but we never bring it up, so it's essentially the same now as it was before.
And how did you get your extended family to know?
Only my sister knows inside of my family. She's really cool about it and I talk openly with her about it as well. She found out because she was late for her bus back home and had to stay at my place till the next one came. My boyfriend was sleeping over at the time so I had no choice. She was really cool about it and even friended my boyfriend the same day on Facebook. Lol.
Honestly, I hate the idea of coming out as well. It can be life-changing with certain people for either good or bad but I hate that it changes how those closest to you see you from then on.

Yeah, making tea 'correctly' can be somewhat involved. Maybe involved isn't the right word, as I don't really go to the extremes that some tea enthusiasts do, but preparation method (different temperatures of water and steeping times for different types of tea, in addition to the quality of tea being used) is fairly important for enjoying the result, though at the same time people have different ideas on what is 'best' even in terms of appropriate brewing method, according to personal taste, etc. Among the different types of tea (white, green, oolong, black, pu erh) and the different grades and qualities of such, and peoples tastes, it can get kind of complex. I'm partial to white tea personally though my interest was originally motivated by the health benefits and high theanine content, but once I tried some quality stuff my standards for taste were satisfied I've never really looked to another beverage.
But white tea is the lightest tea, so it has a very delicate taste by nature if prepared well, it's not really like black tea which has a stronger taste. My mom doesn't drink tea at all, and when she first tried it she said it was "like water", but personally I don't agree. I mean it's not like coffee or other beverages, in that you can tell what you're drinking is predominantly water, but it also has a distinctiveness that I prefer entirely to water (I might consider it an enhanced or improved water), in fact I hardly even drink regular water anymore, and I don't have a particularly refined palate by any means so I wouldn't consider it a finer point of taste that most people would miss, but obviously tastes do differ. I'm not really sure what your tea drinking experiences were like or if this would be comparable.
I would maybe try a good oolong, it's a nice middle of the road tea, it's pretty popular, and it doesn't have the grassy taste that green tea sometimes has.

Haha, I kind of hope I don't seem like one of 'those people'. I'm not even a very gustatory person so usually when people talk about the finer points of food or wine or whatever I find myself just pretending to listen.
Drink tons of water, not a lot of fried stuff, Do 30 mins to 1 hour of cardio daily and some weight lifting to keep the body tight. You aint chubby yet.

That's chubby you? hmmm...you're breaking my heart.
Anyway, you should check out the Weight Loss thread. They can be helpful there, and they're usually pretty positive and supportive. You won't get many sarcastic responses like mine.
You can also check out the Fitness Thread. They sometimes get a little scary in there, but there's a lot of information in there as well if you want to take advantage of that.If your avatar is chubby you, then you have nothing to worry about.
