If your avatar is chubby you, then you have nothing to worry about.

But look at the "Before" pic, the difference is big and I'm somewhat more worried that I seem to be gaining weight daily or that's how I feel it, this can't be normal, must be an hormonal change or something and I hope it will pass on, but I need some advises for keeping myself in shape and not let the illness win... it's not about me, really, as I said, I'm more worried about my bf .. and somewhat ashamed with him.. :(
 
I came from this

Yep I'm worried lol

Thank you!

Now, that I've taken a better look, don't do anything. You look good fat! [:

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.

I definitely notice this distinctiveness you speak of, but in my experience it's so slight that it still feels like you're just drinking water with a little bit extra. While you may consider that little bit of extra as an enhancement or improvement, I think it's just water that's been ruined. Like Arrowhead water.
 
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.

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.

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.

Thanks Guys for your responses words. I'm asking for everyones Honesty and what you guys are giving me is much appreciated. Keep the responses rolling guys :p
 
Time for liposuction!
JK, but seriously how much weight added is that? doesnt look like much at all

8kgs as for the last measurement. I think I'm worse now, and well I'm glad you don't seem to see it that dramatic, yet the worst part is that I feel it's getting progressively worse. The biggest change is in my body though but well that only takes gym I think u.u

And guys thanks for the compliments haha you are awesome :3
 
After 20 mins of trying to figure out how to resize a pic, I finally put one up for the hell of it. It's a little blurry, but I might put a new one up later after I experiment a little more (I've only had a Mac for a few months, but this is the first time I tried to crop a pic).

The small amount of added lbs makes that big of a difference to you? This isnt some extreme change people, cmon!

Yeah there are more differences than the weight (I can't even tell any kind of weight difference), it's the hair that's different. The facial expression and the filter change things too.

I think you look better in your avatar :/

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 always feel like a bit of a fraud when people talk about coming out. My parents died before I could, and I have a girlfriend as often as I have a boyfriend so it is rarely an issue in informal situations, and all my friends and my sister just know.
 
But look at the "Before" pic, the difference is big and I'm somewhat more worried that I seem to be gaining weight daily or that's how I feel it, this can't be normal, must be an hormonal change or something and I hope it will pass on, but I need some advises for keeping myself in shape and not let the illness win... it's not about me, really, as I said, I'm more worried about my bf .. and somewhat ashamed with him.. :(

I don't know what I just read but just stop eating so much you fatso.

I told both my parents at the same time on my 19th birthday in the car after we had gone out for dinner. They took it very well. My dad got emotional saying he wished I had told them sooner so they could be there for me for that stuff through high school, which was really touching. So I got emotional too, a bit. And then my mom. It was a mess.

I told my sister a few months ago and she was extremely cool about it too. I feel fortunate to have such a supportive family.

As for extended family they still don't know. Less to do with not wanting them to know and more to with not seeing it as a big enough deal to bring up unless directly prompted (I don't really see them often).

God, you're making me cry. That is so sweet.

Screen is too small for me, so my micro stays in its box, uncharged and unused.
For GBA games I use the Lite or the backlit SP.
 
How did you come out?

I was studying abroad (20y/o), and was dialing internationally to the 'first love' guy using my dad's dialing code to a phone number and talking for very long amounts of time. My dad dialed the number and asked the first love guy 'who is this?', and the first love guy directed him to speak to me. I told my dad via email considering the time difference (but also because I'm a chicken shit), which my mother erased. So I had to type the whole thing over agian.

Did you talk with each parent separately or both?
Not sure since it was via an email, but I guess it doesnt matter considering the medium, my mom is mentally handicapped so theres that too.

How did they react?
My dad was way too cool with it. He went and joined PFLAG or something being the liberal that he is. He did say some dumb things initially that he claims not to remember.

And how did you get your extended family to know.
I told my brother when I came home for winter break from study abroad. He was cool with it I seem to remember. My mom told my aunt I think. Don't know if or how my extended family knows, but I'm sure they do by my parents telling them. I never see my extended family since I live abroad.[/quote]
 
I like most gay movies. Good ones, campy ones, even a few bad ones.

But, the '1313' series of movies over at Netflix are so bad...

How did you come out?

I came out when I was 21. I just told my mom after being nervous about it for days and delaying it.

Did you talk with each parent separately or both?

Didn't have to since my father was already deceased back then,

How did they reacted?

She was surprised. Because of having all kinds of gay-freinds and being very gay-positive my mom kind of expected te notice someway or another if I was gay. But she did not. But it was all ok.

And how did you get your extended family to know.

I don't want them to know because it just makes things awkward and uncomfortable oon the rare occasion I see them.
 
So, last day I was visiting a friend in his hometown, and I also visited one of the most beautiful (and oldest) libraries around here (Italy, of course). Then, we take a picture! I'm on the right:


We had also the opportunity to visit some rooms that are closed to the public, it was cool (and cold!).

Back in September, I linked to three pictures of myself in this thread asking people their honest opinions regarding my looks. I wasn't very confident, and was deep within my shell. I hadn't dated men before then, and had just created an online dating profile to rectify that. Since that time, I've gained more self-esteem, came out to my mother and friends, and I fell insanely in love. Despite being scared out of my mind at first, it was all worth it and I'm glad I put myself out there. When I have more time, I'll post the full story for those interested. Here's to what I hope is the best year of my adult life so far.

I don't remember those pictures, but I just saw you in "Post New Pics of Yourself" and you look great. :)
 
The hating on black teas makes me sad. I drink the hell out of some Earl Grey and Irish Breakfast teas.

The lack of Rooibos love in here is killing me.

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.

In my family, I've only spoken to my sister and my mother about it. I'm not sure what you're looking for but from my experience I can tell you that it's very likely for people to not take it as you'd expect. Honestly, I started with friends which was a far more supportive route. My two closest friends have really been there and provided the encouragement that I needed.
 
anyone else in the mood to take part in a love story without the relationship thing?

I'd like to find someone, love and be loved without having to restructure my life to make it fit someone else's. I wonder if it is possible...

I don't understand the question. Is this like... a friend's with benefits thing?

So you want a relationship without the relationship part included? Seems rather weird to me.

no, because a friend remains a friend in your heart, regardless of whether you have sexual activity with him or not, that would be a sex buddy of sorts. You normally don't develop feelings for a sex buddy.

I mean, be in love with some, have those special feelings for someone, be loved in return but without having to constructe a new life system, changing everything.

I guess a proper term would be lovers, cause you like him, you have feelings, you have intimacy, you constantly seek his company but are not in a relationship (or partnership, as we know it)

does that make sense? maybe there's nothing like that

Maybe a really open relationship? There's still love and intimacy, but you can go on your merry way and find other people. Maybe a poly-amorous situation? Or you can fall in love with someone online who's alright with keeping it online or long distance?
