I think this is a common problem people don't think about as they age--in school, we were around the same people for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week--for most people, the same kind of bonding won't happen when they get older and have other responsibilities. I think it's one of those things you just have to come to terms with,…

I have no idea. I don't get the friend thing at all really.

Hmm, maybe I will try this with guys? But since I'm gay, not sure if it will have exactly the same effect...

Eh, I really don't care how people do it. I am eating a lot more than I normally would have when trying to lose weight, and it's working just fine--I would feel hungry a lot otherwise. If you don't ever feel hungry eating 1200 or less calories, I would just do that--there would never be a non-emotional reason for you to…

I think, I shall add "I want to be a MILF" to my profile Inspirations.

Thanks for all the great advice.

Hahah. I guess that's true. But I think I kind of become a piece of furniture to most people--even though I'm very funny, so in certain situations, people grow to love me. As for my McDonald's--my most commonly consumed items are oatmeal, apples, the Southwest salad, and round eggs or Canadian bacon. If I am low on…

I find older men attractive as much as younger men, but I do think there is some truth in me needing to be older. A lot of things about living a gay life kind of play into extended adolescence--so many things happen a bit delayed. I think I'm fine being single though. When I was younger, I was obsessed with the whole idea…

Me, a perfectionist? And I would NEVER, EVER post pictures of myself on here--at least, not the kind you all are talking about. Even if next year I have a six pack and am going out to clubs with my entire torso bedazzled and glittered, I shall never do that!

I really cannot. Breasts disgust me. I think maybe the thing about their being two choices--is that gay men maybe want someone who seems to intentionally look the way they do. Me, I am kind of a conundrum, because I am, essentially, a 5'7", 120 lbs. blonde boy who danced as a child on the inside. On the outside, I am a…

A lot of my friends want me to go see it--I have no interest either. Though Joe Mangianello looked very beautiful on the fourth hour of the Today show with his graying beard and hip thrusts.

For some reason, only girls tell me this. :(

I think I have a pretty good idea--but outside of traveling an hour to go grocery shopping (something unfeasible for me) I'm not sure how much difference could be made. I think if I were interested in being a vegetarian (which I am not, because I think I need meat for protein) it would be kind of difficult to do much…

I probably weigh like 165, just because I eat McD's so much! And yes, almost everyday--it's crazy I know! I guess I don't really worry about sodium and water retention too much, though--right now my blood pressure is amazing, and I know I am losing weight. But it is definitely something I should think about, I guess!

Yes, I must definitely work on my food preparation skills. And at the beginning I was tracking water intake and doing really good, but I have definitely slacked! I know this sounds crazy, but any tips on taking pictures? Ha. I just realized my camera has a tripod insert on the bottom...that could help. :)

Yes, totally agree! I am aware of all those things--hopefully in the fall I will be able to rectify many of them. I am not a person very sensitive to stimuli--like food, supplements, medicines, etc. I apparently have a very high pain tolerance. I'm not very in touch with my body, so sometimes it's hard for me to tell the…

No, but when I return to university this fall, I plan to--the university offers a free fitness evaluation and ongoing nutrition consultations--I never took advantage (or even paid attention to them) before, but I have every intention of doing so this fall! I think I may meet with a trainer a few times, too. I am super…

Ugh, thank you all so much! I am usually the person who gets upset when people freak out cause they gain a pound, or only lose a half pound or something--sometimes our bodies go back for just a little bit, or stall, or don't change much--but you are still changing, right? As long as you are being somewhat honest with…

Honestly, I haven't seen much change--I've almost consistently lost the same amount this entire time. I try to always weigh-in on Tuesdays right after I get up...but on Tuesday there is a 3-4 hour variance of when I wake up--guess I should work on picking an exact time to weigh. And when I tell people I've lost weight in…

I just invented a game called "Find Matt_Wild's Backfat" but I keep losing.

I've been pretty lucky--I think that's where most of the weight I've lost is from. Then again, I don't really seem to be losing in other places. I've lost 22 pounds now, and none of it from my waist. I guess I am probably losing muscle mass, but--I don't have muscle mass! I am one of those people who can lose 30 pounds and…

I just don't get the friend thing, honestly.

I'm just intimidated by the whole thing. About getting hurt, doing things "wrong". I guess I should just throw caution to the wind.

Hmm. Interesting concept. I come from a family of mostly obese and out of shape people. I have utterly no idea of what genetics has predisposed me to (as far as what I should aim to look for when "in shape"). Fascinating.

Indeed.

Eh, sometimes you have to be mature enough to realize you are the problem.

Most people do. Lucky for them, pity is something I believe in....

I don't believe in romantic love at all.

I had just gotten a haircut, and decided that after a year of not having a profile picture on Facebook (at least, with my actual face) I would add one. Now I have a picture of the modernist poet Marianne Moore though--I can't abide my face for too long.

I would walk around naked, and ask strangers for money.
