Thank you all 4 for sharing your stories! Being vulnerable is truly difficult especially today . However , the love between Ant and Nick or even all 4 of you is an example or goal for others to strive towards!
I know everyone seems to love these guys, but Ant constantly calls Nick a " Twink" and assumes that only Men who look & act " Butch" or traditionally Masculine Gay Men are the "Top " and every effeminate thin Gay is a Bottom. Also if he plans on being with Nick for a long time peoples bodies change a lot. They also speak about their lack of sexual experiences with others and then getting Married sounds a lot like Straight couples from the 1950's and before and I 'm not sure how many of them were happy over their whole lives . I don't mean that a person has to have a lot of multiple sex partners but I don't know a lot of Straight couples who Married very young and haven't gotten divorced ? And I am reading stats on Straight couples. The Divorce rates have been around 50% for decades, although the older couple seem to have a good relationship but ,I have not heard them say that they were their 2nd sexual partners when they got together ,but Maybe they were ? Aside from the " Twink" comments I don't want to put them down or just say nasty comments about them !
@andrerenaud8785 I see genuine love and respect between the two of them. When Ant calls Nick a "twink", I think it is in an endearing way, rather than confining him to that box. I think it is clear that he loves Nick for who he is, and not only for his body type. He is also young and admitted himself that he lacks experience, so he may not always use the perfect terminologies, but I think them doing this podcast alone is enough evidence that they are on a growth trajectory together. Also, the divorce rate for male/male couples is less than 1/3 of that of hetero couples, so I don't think that's an appropriate comparison. Ultimately, it's their lives and their own journey and if they are both happy, loved, and respected then it shouldn't matter what their marital status or lack of experience is. It is just refreshing to see any couple these days who genuinely love and care for eachother and I think that aspect is something that we can all aspire to! ❤️
This is only episode 2, but i can just tell you guys are going to talk about the realest topics ever. You all are so well spoken, and listening to you is so comforting! Sending lots of love to y'all❤
Thanks so much for sharing your stories, all of you deserve hugs. Our daughter had a identical experience that Nick went through and ended up in emergency. I am so glad Nick, that you found the help and support that is needed.
Completely related with the bulimia story. Suffered for years. Even now it can be difficult to get recognition of males with eating disorders. Keep up the work.
Nick and ant. I used to watch you guys when I was dealing with an eating disorder too. I have so many memories with you guys. This channel sorta made me realize I was a 12 year old gay. Now I’m a 17 year old gay, time deff moves!!
My mom used the south beach diet when I was a pre teen. She lost a lot of weight but her diet was so restrictive that she ended up gaining back all the weight she lost. Today she said she regretted the diet because of how unhealthy and mentally exhausting it was
76 yo grandma here. Have seen several of your videos recently and have learned so much..thank you. Although i am straight i find it so interesting how our challenges in life are similar. Keep up the good work for all of us...❤❤❤
Thanks so much for teaming up the "new gays" with the "old gays." It's the first time I've ever seen something like this. Whether you know it or not, you guys are helping so many people, especially by sharing your personal stories. Nick and Ant, through your many videos you've shown how gay people can attain loving and committed relationships. An interesting podcast might be about what gay life was like back in the day (especially in regard to discrimination) and what it's like now. Again, thanks!
A very interesting podcast about a heavy but certainly deserving topic. A lot of gay men suffer from body dismorphia, I'm no exception. I suffer from BED (Binge Eating Disorder) therefore I'm morbidly obese and I'm trying to lose weight with professional help in a healthy way.
Thank you for sharing your stories. You should feel so immensely proud. It takes pure courage to disclose one of the most harshest mental illness. Don’t ever stop raising awareness!
Hi! I just wanted to thank you all for sharing your experiences, Nick. I also wanted to say how strong you are for coming this far and for being so open about it. 🫶There's someone out there watching this right now, and they are not alone. And They shouldn't be ashamed. You're truly a wonderful person. Thank you so much for this video, guys. Love you.😌
It Took Manifold Courage Nick All of You Are Heroes !!! You’ve Saved Many Lives Love You Guys!!! I Appreciate Your Courage You Are Honest, You Didn’t Sugar Coat Anything I Tried Atkins Diet The Wrong Way because of Stereotypes and Metaphors.
Episode 2. What an emotional episode. It makes you think what goes on behind people lives that no one else sees. You are all amazing and its great to see cross generation experiences and one have no clue about at 23yrs old. Especially when you are not actively talking about the community but seeing it from afar..If that made sense at all. Can't wait to see another one. It helped give me a new perspective on everyone. ❤
Your podcasts are among the best I have listened to in my life. 😁 Thanks to you, I am able to assert myself better and more and more as a young French gay: Thank you guys 😄 ! Lot love from France 😉
Nick.. I relate to you so much. I have a very similar story. It makes me feel like I’m not alone anymore hearing your story. Thank you for sharing. You are a beautiful person. I’ve been watching you forever and then kinda stopped watching YT and I just found you again and it was a total sign. Much love 💛💙
Awesome episode guys. Definitely something that is so important in the community. There is healthy and there is too far definitely a scary place whenever the extremes are taken.
hey guys :) im currently going through alot of the things nick has been through and hearing him be so open about it makes me feel less ashamed of my issues so thank you 🫶🏻 you help more people than you know ☺️
As a teen I had bad social anxiety, When around a lot of people I felt overwhelmed & my go to alone place was the bathroom & I was naturally skinny so there was a number of times friends & family thought I was bulimic when I wasn't.
So real and sensitively talked about with maturity. Should be included in Education broadcasts to inform youngsters. Great podcast boys. Look forward to next one.🤗 xxx
It is great, you four have found the potential of your personal value. If you don't fit in the images especialy as a young guy, it can even kill you. I had to become 31 to find my soulmate who took me as the person i am. And that is the most important thing in life. There is always the right match out there for one, who makes you whole.
I think the reason ozempic is so big is because of how celebrities treat it as the new fad diet and trend. People like Kim Kardashian, who have used it to get unhealthy body standards looks is so unhealthy and scary to our society
I never struggled with eating disorders but for many years since I was 14 I struggled with self harming by cutting my hips with a nife every ones in awhile I still wish to feel the pain again but I am 19 years old now and I can say I haven’t self harmed in about a year compared to when I used to do it almost every day
I was bulimic in my twentys..i was so insecure besides keeping me thin it gave me such a huge release of stress. horrible times and a hard secret to keep. Hiding it takes alot of work and meal planning around times to purge.
Ouch, Calling me out; I’m on tirzepatide (like Ozempic) and testosterone. I am gay 45 years old, and the wrinkles and gray hairs will take my youthful look soon. Just enjoying my life and I feel like I’m in my early 20s on both of them.
These podcasts are great! Over there years I have watched your videos on & off, but now I have subscribed! It so interesting to hear the experiences of couples from 2 different generations 🩷
I’m so sorry you guys have gone through this, but thank you for sharing your stories❤! I’m glad you guys are doing better❤! And happy birthday frank 🎉🎊🥳
I never really watch podcasts but this one is just a breath of fresh air! Thank you for sharing your stories - they are emotionally heavy, but at the same time, very important to talk about and break the silence. I assume there are millions of people struggling with such kind of problems, so it's nice to see someone who uses their fame for a noble purpose. One thought from me about ozempic - I used to work in pharmacy where we had a lack of this medicament. So people who were sick of diabetes couldn't get it just because other people, who used it for weight loss, bought it faster. I mean, those people are the ones who are not overweight but they just see themselves as someone whose body is not perfect. However, when you look at them, they are just fine. So that is the good example which was talked by Nick. Other thing, as someone who lives in a kind of homophobic country, it would be nice to hear your story of being gay. I mean, how did you tell your parents, friends, how did you understand your sexual identity to yourself, did you ever get any hate or something. Thank you once again. And see you soon!
@@ItsJustNick_for me it's 3 years but I checked in on y'all on tik Tok cause I remembered you existed and I was like: what are they doing?😂 Then you announced a new Video and the date and I was like: perfect and subscribed then waited
A very genuine podcast with genuine people. Thank you so much for this podcast and for your journey; so sorry you had to deal with that but I am glad you're much better now💙💙. You guys never fail to entertain! Also the cupcake for birthday reminded me of The Devil Wears Prada😅💙💙
Thanks Nick! Your story made me cry and ure so brave to tell it! ❤ I think it's really important for many people (not only gay one)! P.S. Ure absolutely handsome, take care xoxo
Heyyy Nick, heyyy Ant. So about this video's highlights, I had no idea about Nick's 'journey' before meeting Ant. 💖 And I feel so sorry that I had make a joke for Ant, that Nick was "pregnet". I made a joke while Nick was live streaming on TikTok, that Nick was "pregnet" for Ant, now I just feel sorry for saying that Nick was "pregnet" few months ago. 💖 Love seeing you two guys, Nick and Ant being together, and support each other. 💖💖💖💖
Awee no don’t worry! I’ve been about 4-5 years clean now, but anyways it’s my followers that saved me out of it so i’m very great full for all of you 🤍
I don't suffer from an eating disorder but from BDD and I can quite relate. I'm so obsessed with perceived flaws in my appearance that I waste hours on time consuming habits trying to fix or camouflage them also mirrors or cameras are basically my nemesis. If I see myself from an unusual angle it feels like getting shot in the heart and being depressed for days... But I also do feel like this is in part 'triggered' by the gay communities obsession with appearance. (Sigh)
Dear Nick and Ant just two weeks ago i found You Two at TH-cam from both of your chanhels sinds this time i've been following the both of you and the Two of You are so kind sweet i love 💞 Your Love 💖 with eachother and how lovely both of you are wish You Two all the best and many loving 💖 lovely years with the best of luck 🍀 what is comming in your way i wish we meet eachother one day i love you both really much for the people who you are from inside out i'm also a little bit older but it feels so good to watch You Two and You make me always happy just if i look at you both and your carracters gives me a big smile every time but the most of it is the Love from You Two love and greetings and hugs from the netherlands 💞🍀
I love ur podcast so much and it’s helps me. I’ve struggled with an eating disorder. I’m only 13 years old I started the eating disorder at only 9 years old which is crazy to think about. I still sometimes do struggle to eat food but I’ve help with friends along the way. Lately my mom has started eating less and workout way to much to the point where she passed out. My step dad actually took the scale out of the house and threw it away bc my mom would constantly be on the scale weighing herself. 2 weeks ago we were eating dinner at the table and my mom wasn’t eating so I looked at my 2 sisters and gave them the look to not eat. They really didn’t see the signs but obviously I have dealed with the eating disorder so I saw all the possible signs. Anyways back to the story, me and my sisters pushed are food away and said we are not eating until you eat she tried forcing us to eat but I said no. Fast forward a hour I call my moms best friend and tell her that my mom isn’t eating. She comes over and takes her to the room and talks to her. 30 minutes later they come out of the room and my mom is crying. My moms friend texted me saying that she told her a story about all of this. We got my mom In this therapy thing I forgot what it’s called but she’s starting to do a little better. I remember when I was 10 I was at a birthday and everyone was eating and I was just sitting there looking at every eating. I got so fed up with my self that I ran out of the room to go to the bathroom. When I got to the bathroom I started pinching myself. One of my friends came in and found me throwing up and crying. I told her that I didn’t feel good and that I just wanted to go home. I got home and I was still crying. My mom at the time didn’t know that I had an eating disorder so she just thought that I was sick. A year late I’m still struggling with my ED so my mom takes me to the doctor and my mom finds out that I have an ED, anxiety, and depression. I remember my mom breaking down in tears bc she never saw any of the signs so she felt really disappointed in her self. Another year later I still struggle with anxiety, depression, and a little bit of an eating disorder. It’s hard to believe it bc I was just a girl who didn’t know anything. I’m actually bi but my mom doesn’t know but she can’t really handle me coming out right now with all the stress. You just gotta take it day by day. Remember that you are important to someone and you will always be loved. Even if you don’t think you’re loved just know that I might be a complete stranger but I love you and you got this! I believe in you! Idc if your straight, gay, bi, lesbian, transgender, etc. you are perfect just the way you are. Happy pride month and Happy mens metal awareness month! Ily 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Yeah I'm very much considered the chubby kid, and my mindset likes to worsen that (practicing self love is harder than it seems🥲). I remember like 2 - 3 years ago i convinced myself to eat less and literally STARVE, until my mom noticed and got me back on track. It's not as bad as what people unfortunately go through, but it's just etched into the back of my brain even now😿
can relate alot i always thought i need to be skinny i did the same thing as you mr nick i did this for five year it took a toll on my mental health i iam still fat and disgusting but this video realy helped
Love the honesty and vulnerability in these podcasts. Frank, not sure if you came to the specific reason that led to your hospital stay, but consuming all those nuts and seeds probably gave you “lectin” toxicity. The south beach diet is similar to Adkins or Ketovore and in moderation is not unhealthy. The side effects you had sounds like lectins is the cause. Not so much developing a nut allergy, but just too much lectins. Im not a doctor so take it with a grain of salt, but not too much salt, and make sure it has iodine in it.
I'm starting the weight loss version of Ozempic (Wegovy - same thing, different name) in July. I'm very obese and medically need it, but most of the stories I hear abt ppl on Ozempic don't really need to be taking it. It makes zero sense to me - Ozempic is a GLP-1 agonist. It helps with chemical/hormonal imbalances in your brain, helping you to feel full. For me, it'll help stop me from binge eating as much, and will help me get down to a healthy weight. But for someone 10 lbs over their desired weight? Fuck no!
Loved the second vid so much💞 As a person who had an eating disorder and has to see a dietician every week; I can fully relate! Vid Idea: Exploitation As a New Gay, I have been exploited a few times by straight people who ive trusted and claim to be in the closet and not out yet however just made a joke out of a relationship with me and put our texts and everything around school and made me look like a joke for not being whats classed as 'normal'. I'd be happy for you to share this next vid! Anyways Loved the vid and love you guys💖💖💖💖💖💖
I strive to be on the lighter side due to health reasons as my back tends to not be in good shape when I am heavier. Right now I am around 195 pounds and my desired weight is around 165 which was my weight a year and a half ago. Problem with my weight gain is work and thus the reason why I am working to get away from the work that I do which is accounting and admin. It is okay to be weight consciecious when it affects your health. I am not talking about obese but rather being a bit overweight. Also, scientist have recently discovered that your hormonal defeciency can lead to weight gains, not a slow down in motabolism as your motabolism doesn't slow down until your late 60s. No, I was never into the muscle thingy but rather I am attracted to more slender guys but I've know plenty of chubby chasers over the years. Diet is the best way to loose weight and the less you eat the more weight you will loose. No need to put a finger down the throat. Walking a lot and eating salads are a great thing.
Hi I am 16 and I’ve had body dysmorphia for a while probably about the day I turned 10 last year I was forcing myself to throw up every day if someone caught me then I would tell them it’s because of acid reflex, but after I found out the symptoms I had to quit and I started under eating that didn’t work so I got really stressed so I started over eating and now I just cannot lose the fat at all. I am so scared of my appearance afraid what people think
There is nothing wrong with losing excess weight but you have to do it in a healthy way. Have a healthy diet, exercise and meditate to alleviate the stress.
Very interesting. I watched the entirety. I am actually a straight male so i just want to say that these issues apply to everyone, not just the gay community as it is noted in the description. I am also Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian and have never really done any 'fad diets'. When they were talking about the South Beach diet talking about nuts...i am so lucky i dont have an allergic reaction to nuts (or anything else tbh)...i carry a Camelbak Eddy reuseable bottle always filled with trail mix in my backpack, which is always with me bc i drive a topless Jeep Wrangler and need to keep whatever i need safe from theft. lol. Excellent chat guys. Thanks
Really enjoyed the pod episode looking forward to next week. You should record a podcast episode about the struggles of coming out of the closet cause it's not easy.
I had a short lived eating disorder and my mother snapped out of it there was this one actor who died from this eating disorders can kill you they're very deadly
Such good analysis and content. When training a lot I saw a lot of people who had clearly taken steroids to accelerate muscle growth. They had big bodies but looked terrible. I had a close friend (not a boyfriend) that I really tried to urge, “don’t take that! You might get a bigger body but you have a beautiful face and all these people in the gyms who do this have horrible faces even if a ‘good’ body” My friend was definitely able to be a model (if he wanted) but with this kind of substance of steroids definitely not…
To the point of it seeming invisible I was so surprised because she liked excellent food, and to cook… And it’s wonderful to see such compassion on all sides for a situation like this. Well portrayed and I hope it helps a lot of people!
HI just wanted to say everybody is perfect in there own way especially you nick you may think that you are overweight or. things like that but really I think your perfect in your own way and nothing can change my mind so anytime you think like that remember your perfect in your own way
Nick, I can't believe you had an eating disorder on this video of your podcast, it was shocking, thanks to your husband, Anthony including Dan and Frank!! 😮😮 #BodyPositivity #mentalhealthmatters
Everyone has different body types an ED doesmt mean looking like a skeleton it means struggling with eating healthy because of various reason and you saying this can be extremely harmful specially to someone whos struggled with an ED before and is now in a place where they can share their stoey and pictures.
@noestoo4225 it's not harmful and a eating disorder you Either eat to much where you are overweight or don't eat much and are under weight so mind your business and don't put words in my mouth
@@NinjaTenK I work in that area man, I'm not trying to attack I'm telling u how it is we treat ppl who have a "healthy" weight but they still struggle with maintaining healthy eating habits. Just because u're not "overweight or underweight" doesnt mean you arent struggle I'm sorry but its just really damaging to say that. Take for example a woman in her 20s who "doesnt look skinny" or is "underweight" yet she overeats every night and then pukes whatever she can out. U clearly didnt mena it in a bad way but that doesnt change it...
Wow nick, tou are still skinny and beautiful and healthy now so pleas don't think you need to get more skinny, the gay community does this to tou at my skiniest I was at 69 and felt fat, if I see pictures know of my self it disgust me being 1,90, having big muscle in my legs ,and they also thought I had aids, I looked terrible, now I'm at 92 and I feel more fit and better in proportion of my body and height wath I never thought before, so just be happy and fit in the body you have. The trend in the 2000 was the soup diet haha I do not recommend hahaha
@@Roma-SRyan What's disgusting is encouraging rudeness and prejudice against people based on body shape. I hope you're able to work through whatever insecurities you're having, but this is not it.
@@lazerwolf1219 what's disgusting is your lying and putting words in my mouth. trash behavoir. there's a big, difference between encourage people to abuse fat people and encourage people not to get fat. I mentioned the latter, leave me the hell alone
Ant is such a kind and beautiful human being. He is so loving and supportive of Nick and it is so beautiful to see❤

I mean, those people are the ones who are not overweight but they just see themselves as someone whose body is not perfect. However, when you look at them, they are just fine. So that is the good example which was talked by Nick.
Other thing, as someone who lives in a kind of homophobic country, it would be nice to hear your story of being gay. I mean, how did you tell your parents, friends, how did you understand your sexual identity to yourself, did you ever get any hate or something.
Thank you once again. And see you soon!
That’s a wonderful episode. Thank you for being

P.S. Ure absolutely handsome, take care xoxo
awee this means so much, thank you
Heyyy Nick, heyyy Ant.
So about this video's highlights, I had no idea about Nick's 'journey' before meeting Ant. 💖
And I feel so sorry that I had make a joke for Ant, that Nick was "pregnet".
I made a joke while Nick was live streaming on TikTok, that Nick was "pregnet" for Ant, now I just feel sorry for saying that Nick was "pregnet" few months ago. 💖
Love seeing you two guys, Nick and Ant being together, and support each other. 💖💖💖💖
Awee no don’t worry! I’ve been about 4-5 years clean now, but anyways it’s my followers that saved me out of it so i’m very great full for all of you 🤍
Ant was clearly moved when Nick told his story. Such a cute couple, who support one another very clearly.
He cares so much 🤍
I don't suffer from an eating disorder but from BDD and I can quite relate. I'm so obsessed with perceived flaws in my appearance that I waste hours on time consuming habits trying to fix or camouflage them also mirrors or cameras are basically my nemesis. If I see myself from an unusual angle it feels like getting shot in the heart and being depressed for days...
But I also do feel like this is in part 'triggered' by the gay communities obsession with appearance. (Sigh)
I love this old & young episodes
LovelyOnes!!!! Always!!!! With Lovely People!!!!

@@ItsJustNick_ Your Welcome thank you for your lovely comment back 💞😘
Amazing episode❤
Thank you Samuel!
I love ur podcast so much and it’s helps me. I’ve struggled with an eating disorder. I’m only 13 years old I started the eating disorder at only 9 years old which is crazy to think about. I still sometimes do struggle to eat food but I’ve help with friends along the way. Lately my mom has started eating less and workout way to much to the point where she passed out. My step dad actually took the scale out of the house and threw it away bc my mom would constantly be on the scale weighing herself. 2 weeks ago we were eating dinner at the table and my mom wasn’t eating so I looked at my 2 sisters and gave them the look to not eat. They really didn’t see the signs but obviously I have dealed with the eating disorder so I saw all the possible signs. Anyways back to the story, me and my sisters pushed are food away and said we are not eating until you eat she tried forcing us to eat but I said no. Fast forward a hour I call my moms best friend and tell her that my mom isn’t eating. She comes over and takes her to the room and talks to her. 30 minutes later they come out of the room and my mom is crying. My moms friend texted me saying that she told her a story about all of this. We got my mom In this therapy thing I forgot what it’s called but she’s starting to do a little better.
I remember when I was 10 I was at a birthday and everyone was eating and I was just sitting there looking at every eating. I got so fed up with my self that I ran out of the room to go to the bathroom. When I got to the bathroom I started pinching myself. One of my friends came in and found me throwing up and crying. I told her that I didn’t feel good and that I just wanted to go home. I got home and I was still crying. My mom at the time didn’t know that I had an eating disorder so she just thought that I was sick. A year late I’m still struggling with my ED so my mom takes me to the doctor and my mom finds out that I have an ED, anxiety, and depression. I remember my mom breaking down in tears bc she never saw any of the signs so she felt really disappointed in her self. Another year later I still struggle with anxiety, depression, and a little bit of an eating disorder. It’s hard to believe it bc I was just a girl who didn’t know anything. I’m actually bi but my mom doesn’t know but she can’t really handle me coming out right now with all the stress.
You just gotta take it day by day. Remember that you are important to someone and you will always be loved. Even if you don’t think you’re loved just know that I might be a complete stranger but I love you and you got this! I believe in you! Idc if your straight, gay, bi, lesbian, transgender, etc. you are perfect just the way you are. Happy pride month and Happy mens metal awareness month! Ily 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Yeah I'm very much considered the chubby kid, and my mindset likes to worsen that (practicing self love is harder than it seems🥲). I remember like 2 - 3 years ago i convinced myself to eat less and literally STARVE, until my mom noticed and got me back on track. It's not as bad as what people unfortunately go through, but it's just etched into the back of my brain even now😿
OMG Nick im so sorry that u had to go through that 😭🫶🏻❤
it’s okay i’m so much better now! 🤍
All I can say is that this podcast was AWESOME👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!!
Proud of you guys 🙌💯
thank you Jackson!
can relate alot i always thought i need to be skinny i did the same thing as you mr nick i did this for five year it took a toll on my mental health i iam still fat and disgusting but this video realy helped
Great podcast guys. Very informative. (from another "old gay")
Awee we love the “old gays” 😏
Love the honesty and vulnerability in these podcasts. Frank, not sure if you came to the specific reason that led to your hospital stay, but consuming all those nuts and seeds probably gave you “lectin” toxicity. The south beach diet is similar to Adkins or Ketovore and in moderation is not unhealthy. The side effects you had sounds like lectins is the cause. Not so much developing a nut allergy, but just too much lectins. Im not a doctor so take it with a grain of salt, but not too much salt, and make sure it has iodine in it.
I'm starting the weight loss version of Ozempic (Wegovy - same thing, different name) in July. I'm very obese and medically need it, but most of the stories I hear abt ppl on Ozempic don't really need to be taking it. It makes zero sense to me - Ozempic is a GLP-1 agonist. It helps with chemical/hormonal imbalances in your brain, helping you to feel full. For me, it'll help stop me from binge eating as much, and will help me get down to a healthy weight. But for someone 10 lbs over their desired weight? Fuck no!
Loved the second vid so much💞
As a person who had an eating disorder and has to see a dietician every week; I can fully relate!
Vid Idea: Exploitation
As a New Gay, I have been exploited a few times by straight people who ive trusted and claim to be in the closet and not out yet however just made a joke out of a relationship with me and put our texts and everything around school and made me look like a joke for not being whats classed as 'normal'. I'd be happy for you to share this next vid!
Anyways Loved the vid and love you guys💖💖💖💖💖💖
Love your idea!! Thank you so much for this 🤍
I strive to be on the lighter side due to health reasons as my back tends to not be in good shape when I am heavier. Right now I am around 195 pounds and my desired weight is around 165 which was my weight a year and a half ago. Problem with my weight gain is work and thus the reason why I am working to get away from the work that I do which is accounting and admin. It is okay to be weight consciecious when it affects your health. I am not talking about obese but rather being a bit overweight. Also, scientist have recently discovered that your hormonal defeciency can lead to weight gains, not a slow down in motabolism as your motabolism doesn't slow down until your late 60s. No, I was never into the muscle thingy but rather I am attracted to more slender guys but I've know plenty of chubby chasers over the years. Diet is the best way to loose weight and the less you eat the more weight you will loose. No need to put a finger down the throat. Walking a lot and eating salads are a great thing.
Hi I am 16 and I’ve had body dysmorphia for a while probably about the day I turned 10 last year I was forcing myself to throw up every day if someone caught me then I would tell them it’s because of acid reflex, but after I found out the symptoms I had to quit and I started under eating that didn’t work so I got really stressed so I started over eating and now I just cannot lose the fat at all. I am so scared of my appearance afraid what people think
i’m really sorry you had to go through that, and thank you for sharing your story 🤍
@@ItsJustNick_ no problem hey and I love your videos
There is nothing wrong with losing excess weight but you have to do it in a healthy way. Have a healthy diet, exercise and meditate to alleviate the stress.
Very interesting. I watched the entirety. I am actually a straight male so i just want to say that these issues apply to everyone, not just the gay community as it is noted in the description. I am also Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian and have never really done any 'fad diets'. When they were talking about the South Beach diet talking about nuts...i am so lucky i dont have an allergic reaction to nuts (or anything else tbh)...i carry a Camelbak Eddy reuseable bottle always filled with trail mix in my backpack, which is always with me bc i drive a topless Jeep Wrangler and need to keep whatever i need safe from theft. lol. Excellent chat guys. Thanks
Thanks for listening. Agree, all these issues about our bodies affects everyone.
I think these people where good but hard time but did very for can get with hard work to do ❤
Really enjoyed the pod episode looking forward to next week.
You should record a podcast episode about the struggles of coming out of the closet cause it's not easy.
I had a short lived eating disorder and my mother snapped out of it there was this one actor who died from this eating disorders can kill you they're very deadly
They can be very dangerous, it’s why it’s so important to talk about it and to seek help before it’s too late
Such good analysis and content. When training a lot I saw a lot of people who had clearly taken steroids to accelerate muscle growth. They had big bodies but looked terrible. I had a close friend (not a boyfriend) that I really tried to urge, “don’t take that! You might get a bigger body but you have a beautiful face and all these people in the gyms who do this have horrible faces even if a ‘good’ body”
My friend was definitely able to be a model (if he wanted) but with this kind of substance of steroids definitely not…
I also have a good friend (a woman) who suffered bulemia so I have seen that side too
To the point of it seeming invisible I was so surprised because she liked excellent food, and to cook… And it’s wonderful to see such compassion on all sides for a situation like this. Well portrayed and I hope it helps a lot of people!
You covered so many body issue situations here it should be a master course in self care and self appreciation
I think in every single episode the podcast become more and more interesting and you guys were terribly amazing and I am waiting for new episodes
next Tuesday 👀
@@ItsJustNick_ Waiting eagerly......
HIII!!
Maybe you should do an episode on homophobia and the struggle of the old gays?
Just an idea💙💙
What a great idea! Thanks
@@ItsJustNick_ 💙💙
HI just wanted to say everybody is perfect in there own way especially you nick you may think that you are overweight or. things like that but really I think your perfect in your own way and nothing can change my mind so anytime you think like that remember your perfect in your own way

Skinny guys is kinda my fettish 🤷♂️👌
Hi guys
heyy! How are you?
Heyyyy
Hey how are you doing? You're super early!!
@@ItsJustNick_ yeah im good 😁 saw your notification been watching u for years now and u have inspired me with a lot of things. 🫶
💗
21:30 I don’t think you was to skinny in the photo I was that skinny back in high school now I’m your b4 photo
Everyone has different body types an ED doesmt mean looking like a skeleton it means struggling with eating healthy because of various reason and you saying this can be extremely harmful specially to someone whos struggled with an ED before and is now in a place where they can share their stoey and pictures.
@noestoo4225 it's not harmful and a eating disorder you Either eat to much where you are overweight or don't eat much and are under weight so mind your business and don't put words in my mouth
@@NinjaTenK I work in that area man, I'm not trying to attack I'm telling u how it is we treat ppl who have a "healthy" weight but they still struggle with maintaining healthy eating habits. Just because u're not "overweight or underweight" doesnt mean you arent struggle I'm sorry but its just really damaging to say that. Take for example a woman in her 20s who "doesnt look skinny" or is "underweight" yet she overeats every night and then pukes whatever she can out. U clearly didnt mena it in a bad way but that doesnt change it...
@noestoo4225 I don't that you know what you were doing when you commented mind your business do better
@@NinjaTenK all right 😂 well I hope u can do better yourself I doubt it but have a good one
heyyyy
hey how's it going?
❤️❤️❤️❤️💗💗💗💗💙💚💙💚🥰🥰🥰🥰

heyy!
Hi
Wow nick, tou are still skinny and beautiful and healthy now so pleas don't think you need to get more skinny, the gay community does this to tou at my skiniest I was at 69 and felt fat, if I see pictures know of my self it disgust me being 1,90, having big muscle in my legs ,and they also thought I had aids, I looked terrible, now I'm at 92 and I feel more fit and better in proportion of my body and height wath I never thought before, so just be happy and fit in the body you have. The trend in the 2000 was the soup diet haha I do not recommend hahaha
Do whatever it takes to be skinny. Being fat is awful. i hate it here.
That may be your opinion but please don't make it influence other people into destroying their mental and physical health
To anyone else scrolling past this comment, YOUR BODY IS STUNNING HOWEVER IT IS!!! YOU DON'T NEED TO CHANGE A DAMN THINK ABOUT YOURSELF ❤️
@@lazerwolf1219 stop lying to these people. yuck. encouraging obesity is disgusting
@@Roma-SRyan What's disgusting is encouraging rudeness and prejudice against people based on body shape. I hope you're able to work through whatever insecurities you're having, but this is not it.
@@lazerwolf1219 what's disgusting is your lying and putting words in my mouth. trash behavoir. there's a big, difference between encourage people to abuse fat people and encourage people not to get fat. I mentioned the latter, leave me the hell alone
