When I was 16, I was a bulimic male.  I dreamt of being a model. I was 6'2" 180 pounds but I loved eat. Ho could I stay thin?  I heard about this thing called bulimia,  It worked.  I could eat whatever I wanted and still stay thin. However, bulimia eventually stops working. In 2015, I weighed 350 pounds.  Today, I weigh 185 pounds and I am free from all addictions, including sugar / bulimia.

I’ve never modeled before. My wife has modeled so she taught me a few basics. I tended bar in Aspen, sold software in Manhattan and was the CEO of a hardware store in Oregon.  I have a degree in biology from Lewis & Clark College in Portland.  Now, I am full time artist looking for a way to survive post COVID.  So I thought… hey, I look better than most models, celebrities, actors, TV personalities and signers and they are under 30 years old!

I am 52 years old.  It’s 2021 and I am the only person I know my age who is wearing what they wore in high school (without pills, gyms or surgery). The movies, television and music industry are full of bulimics and people with eating disorders.  J. Balvin is depressed because he is getting fat.  He’s getting fat because hes eating too much sugar and caffeine. If he changed his diet, he would go back to his natural size, his depression would be alleviated  and he would be happy again.  The same is true for Justin Bieber, Haley Bieber, Miley Cyrus and others.

Thin=happy and FAT= not healthy.  This is not body shaming. These are proven facts from the World Health Organization website the Harvard Medical Journal, the American Heart Association, and the American Medical Association.

By the way, gyms are not sustainable.  Gyms are a result of people overeating.  Overeating is an addiction.  A food addiction is an eating disorder.  And eating disorder is a sugar addiction.  Gyms do not work because, like any addiction, you meed more each time to get the same desired affect. Together with my wife, we figured out the cure for eating disorders, addiction,, weight gain and depression: eat right.  We simply eat organic beef, collard greens and garlic.  No caffeine, dairy, gluten, grains or alcohol— and no GYMS! (Yay!)

So, I want to be a model. Text +507 6299-4563

The 3-way is awesome.  Bought 3 other selfie sticks before ponying up $70 for this late September 2020.  At first, I did not want to "waste" $70 bucks on a selfie stick.  But the other selfie sticks were not as sturdy and did not bend at the right angles.  The 3-way has 2 joints and 3 different lengths so you can get a variety of camera angles. I compiled a video showing the different angles the 3-way selfie stick can shoot. I wanted to feel comfortable sticking my GoPro out the window of a speeding taxi to get higher than the roof shots without losing my camera.  Add a handy wrist strap from Camkix and this tool is irreplaceable for your GoPro.

Do you remember when people did not drink coffee everyday?  Slowly, but surely, caffeine has changed the way Americans start their day.  

Caffeine is a drug.  Caffeine is in the classified the same as methamphetamine. Caffeine & methamphetamine are both stimulants.  Caffeine is a much milder than methamphetamines. However, after years of daily intake, the effects of stimulants are the same: highly addictive.

Perhaps you've noticed that caffeine is addictive.  Maybe you did not like coffeea t first.  B ut not you drink coffee straight black with extra shits of espresso to get the same effect.  That is an addiction.  Your brain has become aware that your body has a stimulant so it counters by releasing hormones.  One of those hormones is called insulin.  Insulin in high doses will kill you.  In small doses, insulin will make you tired, sluggish, irritable, depressed and tell your body to store excess sugar as fat cells. 

People who have low blood sugar levels should eat 15 grams of a fast digesting carbohydrate, such as glucose tablets or a high-sugar food. High-glucose foods include: raisins, soda, fruit juice, fruits, honey, & candy.

More severe symptoms of excess insulin, sometimes referred to as diabetic shock or insulin shock, include: concentration problems, seizures, unconsciousness & death.

Caffeine is a helluva drug.  It makes you think you're sped up but really everything in your body has slowed down so you only "feel" sped up.  Worse, caffeine masks the brains ability to determine which hormones are in your bloodstream.  The brain responds by releasing more hormones to counter the effects of caffeine.  When the caffeine wears off, you now have more insulin in your bloodstream than before you had a cup of coffee.  

If you started taking caffeine to lose weight, it won't work long term. In fact, caffeine will have the opposite effect on your weight loss program.  Caffeine is the assassin in your weight loss program. 

Each day that goes by, The Jedi notice more and more activity on the streets.  There is still a mandatory mask to be worn in public and there is still a 6 hour curfew from 11pm until 5AM.
