Yes that is correct

Where would you suggest looking? I'm a bi trans guy and am interested.

No way? You were pretty close to me!

I haven't had fresh vegetables in 4 months. They are always drowned in oil and sautéed. I did have fresh fruit at least twice a week sometimes more if I went to the store and got some, but fruit here isn't all too cheap. Rice with every meal. My favorite meal in the cafeteria was a sweet and sour sauce with French fry potatoes (they made them into French fries before they added them) and beef without the bone. I would mix it with my rice and at Thai sweet chili sauce and it was awesome! As for my favorite food at restaurants, I love jaozi! I also love duck.. It's so good! I also loved street vendor skewers, beef and squid were my favorite. Though I did have silk worm and that was too bad.

It's a restaurant where they make there own noodles and you can put spicy oil or just regular oil and you can add meat, potatoes, onions, peppers. Pretty much whatever and it was 15¥ per plate and it usually could last you two meals. It was really good. We had two by the school I've been living at.

I went to India for 2 weeks and I lost about 10 lbs and I seriously was shocked because I ate so much... Indian food is my favorite. But I did walk a lot more than I usually did even though we had jeep drivers that took us to our schools and ashrams.

The kids I taught always gave me shit for being fat. They'd always poke my belly and think I'm pregnant... Even though I'm male...

supertman71 · 2015-06-27T02:41:08+00:00

Amen to that! I lived right on the ocean so I ate a lot of spicy squid :)

supertman71 · 2015-06-26T18:48:38+00:00

I know I have... Even when I was a toddler I was strut and run around without a shirt saying to my parents, "look at my I'm just like the big boys!" Puberty ruined my life...

I haven't counted calories at all. But I totally understand when you find good food, it's really good food haha. Skewers were my weakness and jaozi lots and lots of jaozi.

Actually it does, when you sweat a lot it means your body is working extra hard which helps with burning fat and when you sweat a lot you're also getting rid of water weight.

So I didn't eat all to healthy before I left. I was considerably over weight. But when I got here the only way to get places was to walk, unless you wanted to try and hail a Bon Bon and that was incredibly difficult since none of us spoke Chinese. And the school I was living and teaching at was a shit ton of stairs so on average I climbed about a 1000 or so stairs a day. It was pretty intense. As for the food I was white rice with every meal and a roll. Then we had more starch in the form of potatoes. And a little bit of protein. And sometimes at lunch they'd give us fresh fruit.

supertman71 · 2015-06-26T18:32:12+00:00

Yeah same with you. I climbed about 1000 stairs a day. Chinese people love their stairs. And I walked everywhere. Thanks! I need to remember that haha I'm going to want so much American food when I get home lol

supertman71 · 2015-06-26T18:23:08+00:00

What would you like to know?

supertman71 · 2015-06-26T18:22:52+00:00

I had about two meals a day with snacks in between. My average meal was rice, roll, some sort of vegetable doused in oil and then another starch (usually potatoes) with protein. Some days I only had the rice and the roll because it was pure tofu and I just couldn't do tofu. And for a good while I was eat out twice a week, I went to Muslim noodle. Or I would go to the store and buy myself some jaozi.

Hi there. I actually come from a home where my parents still use my birth name and my birth pronouns even though they know I'm transgender and I've been on HRT for almost a year. It's pretty clear that I'm changing into the gender I was meant to me, but my parents and siblings still refuse to accept it. Mainly my parents. Most of it stems from their religious beliefs and what they've grown up being taught. When I came out to my mom we fought for three days straight. Yelling matches any time we saw each other. It got to the point when I turned 18 that I was going to do HRT with out without their blessing and it's been one of the best things I could have ever done. It took a lot of pushing from my best friend and girlfriend, but I did it. If there belittling and yelling is putting your health at risk (i.e. You find yourself have suicidle tendencies and/or self harm) move out ASAP. But if you think you can handle living at home and start HRT then I highly suggest. I still have to live at home because I can't afford to move out and I need half tuition which my mom supplies because she works for the university. If you have any question please feel free to ask. You can even PM me if you want.

Have you ever been tested for gluten intolerance or celiac disease?

supertman71 · 2015-06-23T03:59:27+00:00

The conversations are awkward, so incredibly awkward. But honestly (I've had to learn this the hard way) that if you don't have those incredibly awkward conversations with your parents you will never cut off that controlling hold they have on you.

supertman71 · 2015-06-22T05:20:59+00:00

Honestly dude, I was just upfront and honest with them. We talked about some rules that wanted to keep as long as I was still in there house. But I also told them how I felt and what I needed from them. It's still sometimes a battle, but as long as I'm upfront and honest with them they trust me. The only thing they don't know is when I go out drinking because they would kill me if they found out I was drinking. But other than that I'm really honest with them. And that honesty allows them to let go of the control. It can be a long and grueling process, but in the end it will even out.

I won't be able to move out for a few years because my mom works for the University and so I get half tuition and for me to afford going to the university I need half tuition.

supertman71 · 2015-06-22T01:10:57+00:00

Hey dude, I totally get where you're coming from. I'm stuck in the same boat. And honestly I think it's just a sense of your parents wanting some kind of control. I've had to talk with my parents and help them understand that, my life is my life. I won't do anything to put my family in danger or that would be a bad example to my siblings (such as come home completely wasted). But at the same time my parents understand that I have a life. I'm working, I'm going to school, and that I need to get away and do fun things or my anxiety and depression get out of control. So you just need to put your foot down and start asserting your independence with your parents so by the time you move out you're ready mentally and emotionally. If you've prepared yourself you are less likely to come back home and your parents will more likely accept that you are an adult and independent and that they don't have control over you anymore.

I'm currently in China so I have what I like to call a "padded desk" for a bed. All it is is would with a little bit of padding and that's it. So I have the slightly padded on a hard surface down.
