Hiiiiiii everyone. SO I haven't posted in a while.... Anyway, I really need advice! On my diet and just a few things!

Ok so tomorrow my friend and I are going to take some snap shots of our face and body because on Wednesday we're going to LA Models for casting calls. I'm like 99% sure he'll get signed to be a model! He's very androgynous with mid-lengh blond hair, GERMAN ACCENT(LOL), 6'0 and 110lbs! I seriously think he can model both female and male clothes! NOW I'm going because I have nothing to lose! and well to support him really! ... Now for my Advice.

So lets say I did get signed... I think I really need to start eating better! I eat to much junk since I started college! I haven't gained any weight but quel diet I have ._. Anyway, I think I need help because I really dont have time to exercise AT ALL like I use to. Cooking well I don't have time to cook the super healthy foods I use to and i'm away from home like 12 hours a day... So those day I barely eat.

Anyway I don't think i need to lose weight but just need advice on all this nutrition stuff :( Like being a fashion student takes my whole life away so I don't have time for everything. My friend actually is very unhealthy..... Hes been starving himself and I told him it was wrong! He just wont listen! I don't want to do that though because I have good self esteem.

Now this is me

Wish me luck on Wednesday! I kinda hope I do get signed and everything! It would be mighty awesome!! c:

Wow! You have nice curves, and I LOVE your hair. As for the nutrition, there's actually quite a lot of things you can do even while you're extremely busy. The first, and easiest, is to drink lots of water. Cold water is best. Don't drink any of those sugary, carbonated drinks. Bleh >.< The second thing is to make sure that you don't give in to the temptation of fast food. I know what it's like to be a busy college student (though from the sound of it, not nearly as busy as you) and I know how tempted you will feel to just go and get a burger from mcdonalds. I will tell you now, it's not worth it. Carry around healthy snacks either in your purse or backpack, whichever you use, and munch on them whenever you feel hungry. As for when you're at home, eating healthy isn't as hard as it seems. There are lots of websites out there that have quick, easy, healthy recipes on them. This is one of my favorites: http://allrecipes.com/. I wish you the best of luck for Wednesday! :)

Love,

Tessa

Do a google search of choosemyplate. Don't click on the link, but for the first result listed, it should have a link for daily food plan. Click on that link, type in a little info about yourself, and it'll tell you how many calories you should be getting, along with the food groups they should come from. Just make sure you get enough fruits and veggies to stay healthy, seriously.

Hi Alythegreatangel! :D

Congrats on giving this modeling/casting opportunity a shot!

You'll never know unless you get out there and try, just as you are doing! :D

Your picture looks great! :D

You will likely get all types of responses/advice within this thread.

I have tried so many types of diets, all aimed at improving my health and my stamina, both mentally and physically.

There is so much conflicting advice out in our world about what's needed and what's best for us!

I have done macrobiotic diets, vegetarian diets, vegan diets, the Paleo diet and more.

My goal was always optimal health.

I am now back to the vegan diet!

Many of my various physicians had given me a hard time, in the past, about my having been on a vegan diet.

Yet, now, all of them are on vegan diets! Lol! (They are truly on vegan, not simply vegetarian, diets! Wow!)

There is an interesting site which introduces the vegan lifestyle diet, giving rather easy guidelines to follow, etc.

There is an image of the "power plate," which is a visual aid for ease in following the recommendations, as per the Physicians' Committee for Responsible Medicine at : http://www.pcrm.org/health/diets/

There is a lot of info offered on this PCRM site. They also offer The 21 Day Vegan Kickstart diet.

There are ways to be creative with a vegan diet in order to meet your needs.

Truly, the best diet for anyone is the diet which works best for any individual and one that helps to keep them healthy!

Good luck with your adventure! :D

Hope to hear how things went for you and for your friend!

Warmly,

Brad

      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US.

      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending.

      What about it?

      Hey girl  I had a problem like you happen to me also. In my first year of estrogen I had a period where my level were good then they got really bad where my testosterone spike high.  I felt like you with all that disforia coming hard. Our bodies need time to adjust. The process is a real pain in the beginning. It levels out eventually and you don't even think about it. Hang in there hugs

      Biden's woke agenda?

      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.

      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.

      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.

      It’s never been about him, but he is the Presidential nominee for the Presidency that starts in…2025. I don’t see a lot of conflation that this is a “Trump doctrine”, it a doctrine that benefits him surely, but it is a plan to instill crony governance and enact very Christian conservative (if not purely Christian nationalist) “order” on the country. If you don’t see this as the Right doubling down on Big G government, I don’t know what to tell them. Getting rid of agencies and giving the authority directly to the Executive isn’t shrinking government. It’s consolidation power.

      It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same.   In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”.  So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”.  Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
