OK, I'm not directing these comments at you two personally, we all get to make our own choices, but this thread is soliciting tips, so I wanted to provide my understanding of some of the context why someone might cringe at these things.
 
True margarine is full of trans-fats and has turned out to be far, far worse for people than the butter it was touted as a 'healthier' replacement for. Faced with choice between margarine or butter, my understanding is the consensus now is people would be better off using butter and as an alternative, there are olive oil sprays available.
 
Regarding artificial sweeteners, an uncannily similar process seems to be playing out. Initially promoted as a 'healthier' alternative to processed sugar, they are now, in study after study, being implicated in altering the microbiome of the human GI system to the overall detriment of the human.
 
And that's just the (mostly) physiological impact. Moving on to the psychological impact, these kind of swap-outs can be implicated in an issue some people manifest in which 'sacrificing' leads to overcompensation. A slightly exaggerated example is ordering large fries because one chose the diet soda.
 
As I think we all know, body composition management is an incredibly complicated subject. Each of us has to do our own due diligence and make informed choice about what is right and works for us. I like threads like this, where everyone can pitch in with what has worked for them so others can go through to see what fits for them. No one thing is going to work for everyone. I am loving IF, it just felt right and I took to it like fish to water, but I know there are many people for whom it feels insane and intolerable, so I could never pretend it's for everyone.

Thank you for the support, you as well. I started at about 337. I am hoping to be blow 250 in the next year or so. I joined the YMCA as well and do weekly classes. This has helped as well.

It helps to learn to see food as fuel and to learn that you don't have to reward yourself with a sensual experience every time you eat.

I'm down 30 pounds been 2 years on weight watchers, the new free style program is really working for me, I've been down a pound a week.
Tracking for me is key, cutting carbs, portion size.
My downfall has been trying to cut down on alcohol, my partner is a great help, very supportive.
Keep up the good work.

PK - I vote for "Speaking in Tongues."

I do not want to make early plans, because I want to land in PS open to whatever (and whoever) shows up, but I hope to have a little piece of @VictorPowers. My dear friend @OliverSaks gave me a wonderful idea for my blog. A series of video interviews where I am eating the interviewee ass while he responds my questions. I would love Victor to be the one launching the series.

It sort of reminded of me of what you will see Ms. Oliver telling everyone as they arrive on Friday and head to their respective place of weekend residence.
 
(Actually I believe I may have seen Stormy Daniels in the touring version of this musical.)

I was asked in a PM what PS weekend is like and I decided that this song kind of sets the tone. Dolly Parton, fabulous dresses, some young hot guys and there is nothing dirty going on.
 

There is a review of Tommy on Rentmen dated 27 February 2017 where the reviewer said he had a bad experience with an escort using Tommy’s pics but this is the real Tommy. With Tommy’s aliases and people using his pics I wonder if this lad is worth all the complications. There are other fish in the sea.

So do I. What’s the big deal? We all like to be as pretty as we can be, no?

Because he wants to?

Yeah, it ranked up with one of worst experiences yet. The other being chased down Hollywood Blvd by an escort who used false pictures of himself, but still wanted to be paid. I wrote about it here a couple years ago.
 
Only the minds in this forum think my moniker means "Fist Fucker Dave", when in reality it meant "FireFighter Dave". I guess I should change it to "captdave"'since I've promoted a few times since I first made that moniker. Lol

Back in the earlier days of TV, couples (even married ones) not only were fully clothed, they had twin beds:

As for me, sex or no sex I sleep in the buff. Though I keep a pair of sweatpants next to the bed for taking the dog out, or if I need to go to the door for anything,

Welcome back, @Avalon!
 
After sex and a shower, I enjoy falling asleep in the nude, cuddling, with my dick softly squeezed between my partner's ass cheeks.

Any freelancer planning to move to NYC and secure a Manhattan apartment needs a reality check even if they’re not an escort. It’s nearly impossible to rent a place here. You will need to show income proof equal to 30x the rent and be able to put down around $10K up front just to get one.

I’d move him out of his kitchen. Thinking he should be tied to his bedposts....

Note to self: book initial meet and greet at Bruegger’s

Excuse the tardiness of my reply. I was just trying to digest it all.
 
This was a little disappointing to hear, but I was expecting a reality check. As some of you mentioned, I think my best course of action would be to escort in the LA area and travel to NY and other cities, save some money, then move and try to find an incall location.
 
I'm not at all discouraged, but you've made me recognize that it will take longer than I anticipated. Plus, I can be more prepared.
 
And there's something I just have to ask, would a girth of roughly 6.5" repel much of the potential clientele? I don't say this to boast, but there haven't been many people who can take it in my personal life. This concerns me. Searching through this forum, I've noticed they enjoy above average girth, but most have their limits and won't hire someone they can't handle.

+1 on the Lose It app, helped me immensely when I lost my weight. I was able to program in my protein drinks and vitamins as “custom foods” in the app, it was a great reminder of what I had to take every day
 
The bar code scan of packaged foods almost makes it fun

just out of curiosity – did you check his ad carefully to see if maybe he put the password in the ad? I did that, and I provide links for people to find hundreds of others of pictures of me, and I *still* get requests for the password for my gallery. I make the choice to decline those requests, because it tells me very clearly that the person did not even bother to take 3 minutes toread my ad, because if they had, they would have seen the password and known how to unlock the photos. I’m not saying that this is what happened with your guy, and you have the right to make whatever choice you like, just as he does. I try to look at any kind of rejection as the universe protecting me from something that I don’t really need or want. Maybe that’s all that happened.

What amazes me is how many clients are shocked that escorts would have policies in place to curb away potential clients with such an incredible sense of entitlement.
 
His body, his choice who to show it to. If you don’t like it then move on. Not everyone feels like revealing everything to every Tom Dick & Harry who wants to see. If you need to see the guy’s asshole/erection to make a decision then simply move on to someone who shows theirs openly. Plenty of fish in the sea. He doesn’t owe you a thing, and I guarantee you there are plenty of other clients who are happy to hire him based on whatever he chooses to show publicly.
 
Respecting someone’s boundaries isn’t “putting up with crap”. If you seriously think that, then it’s absolutely no loss to the guys you aren’t booking. Nobody wants a client with the sense of entitlement that you seem to have.
 
That’s not to say that most escorts won’t reveal private photos upon request. But your attitude about those who choose not to grant you access is VERY REVEALING about you.

Excellent!!
I lost about 20 lbs recently and @MikeyGMin Is right on.
I also found that apples can be your best friend. 1-2 apples plus a small steak or chicken or fish for lunch/dinner is great. Green, red, whatever different kind - eat them all.

DAMN!
 
XL will be staying in DC right on the week end when I will be at Palm Springs.
 
I think I am being punished by the god I do not believe in.

With those things I can smuggle a boy hidden in between my legs, and have fun in the process.

Will there be a "WHITE" theme ?

OR, a BLACK theme ?
