/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I always feel relieved when people get called out for shooping their body in lolita/jfashion.
As much as I don't actually think shooping is a big deal and I wouldn't dislike someone for doing it, I have a very messed up body image after overcoming a very long ED. When someone shoops their body into something that looks 'perfect' for me, I get a bit anxious and I don't like looking at their pictures because it brings up very bad feelings that I am still working hard to overcome. I'm trying to lose weight (healthily) and I don't need the extra self-hatred, so when I can think to myself 'well it's ok because she doesn't really look like that, it's all fake and you don't have to compare yourself to her' it is a relief.
However I know that it isn't anyone's actual intention to make ME personally feel bad, I'm very aware that it's my own issue. I guess I can understand the anger around shooping, though I don't want to participate in dragging someone down because they do it. I just wish people would be a bit more honest. Unless you have a very strong self-image it must be saddening to turn yourself into a more thin and beautiful version of yourself through shoop.
I guess that's just my two cents.

Good idea, I didn't even think about a different time. I'm usually confined to a certain time frame due to work, but I'll see if I can shift things around.

After spending a fair amount of time on /fit/, I can't tell if this is meant to be an insult or not. Thanks, though.

I dropped 40 lbs during the year of on-and-off exercise thanks to my diet changes, so I haven't really been visible to creepers until now. Is this what it's going to be like from now on? Gross stares and gross men trying to get your attention (catcalls, "compliments", threats) at every turn? I'm glad I'm learning martial arts.

I'm over the moon for sure, but I can't help but feel anxious. Something has to be wrong, I can't be that lucky, right?

she says it's her little brother's

/cgl/, I'm totally confused.
I bought shoes 178 and 269 (both good quality!) in a size 23.5, only to find out both were too big for me even though I researched both and apparently they were true to size.
I figured since they were too big, I'd try shos 261 in a size 23, but they arrived today and they're waaay too small, but they're also too wide and I walk out of them even though my toes are crunched up at the bottom?? This means a 23.5 would be huge.
What the heck am I supposed to do?

>tfw the word for "sewing" in my language is also slang for "fucking"
>moreso in the sense of "fucking someone over" but there's still very much a sexual connotation
>cannot mention my hobby to anyone under 40 without hearing "HURHURHUR I BET YOU LIKE 'SEWING' HUH I MEAN WHO DOESN'T HURHURHURHUR"
>everyone always thinks they're the first person to ever make that joke
>including my 52-year-old supervisor today
>mfw

English has the seamstress/prostitute connotation too but it's too antiquated for most people to know about. In my language it's contemporary slang. FML

I never really understood the frustration Lolitas had with the replica versus brand debate, but I feel like I got a taste of it recently.

Between bills and tuition, I saved up and finally commissioned my own kigu. It came in the mail and it's super rad, cozy, machine washable, got pockets, thick and fleecy, totally legit kigu.

Go on Facebook the next day and see that my friends have gotten "off brand kigus from Winco". from fucking Winco. and they're so generic and thin. Of all the opportunities for a totally rad kigu why get something so....basic? It's like my legit kigu got pissed on 'cause "lol we can get the same thing for so much cheaper pleb". 'cept it's not the same thing.

I don't really know what I'm feeling right now. I feel ashamed of my reaction, I guess. I'm going to bed.

Not really a horror story, just disappointing.

>Live in an apartment, mailboxes are all together up the driveway, with parcel lockers underneath
>One day, get a "lol missed ya" slip in my letterbox
>I was chatting in my kitchen with my mom in front of a plate glass storm door at the time on the slip
>Are you shitting me
>But, I have two parcel keys what
>open first, it's a different package, neato
>second locker contains package addressed to a completely different person in a completely different building in the complex
>Can't re lock the lockers, gotta bring it with me and deliver it myself
>Pick it up, it rattles
>Bitch gave me the keys to some old person's meds
>Obviously delivered it to the proper person with the explanation, but what if I had been a shit person? I coulda sold that shit or just threw it out
>Back to the original package I was hoping to get
>Go in to the PO the next day, leaving for a two month trip in the next hour, but might as well get this out of the way so I don't have to ask my roommate to pick it up
>Explained what happened, they hop to the back to look for it
>Gone for 10 minutes
>come back empty-handed
>"Lol, guess she put it back on the truck for some can you come pick it up later or something?"
> No, no I can't. Can I just sign something saying they can leave it inside the storm door/parcel locker?
>"Okay yeah sure."
>Get a call the next day from roommate, tells me I got a slip from the post office
>For the same package

Best part was, when I told the clerk at the post office what happened, their response was "Heh, I'm not surprised."

>go to local ups
>send freind a bodyline jsk in envelope
>its $15 to send
>some seagull tells me I'm a cheapass for complaining about it, these fees are normal
>next week, go to ups again to ship something
>made a small bracelet, put in tiny envelope
>ups tells me its $20 to send
>they tell me its to cover it if something goes wrong
>bracelet cost me $1 to make

I ended up making this look where my smile said "its ok" but my eyes said "kill me"

I don't know how to say "hey, I'm offended" without sounding like a tool
