No motivation to workout cause it’s cold af ed.

Also for those worried about my cat she didn’t get catnapped. She got knocked up so she was too busy taking care of her newborns to come visit. my dad saw her with her kittens moseying around the neighborhood this morning.

I recommend trying to get her spayed ASAP when you get the chance and if you can get the kittens in a few months as well. Feral kittens are most likely to be socialized within the first 8 weeks if you’d like your own in door cats

It doesn’t meow and no collar so I’m pretty sure it’s feral. I been playing Pokémon for many years now starting with Pokémon red so it shouldn’t come as a surprise why I’m so good at dealing with animals.

I’m thinking about ordering a few of these shirts so that people stop making assumptions about my skills.

sorry I don't like to get involved in cat politics, but she's feral because she doesn't interact with humans a lot, she knows how to groom herself (pic related. look how clean she is) and finally she knows how to find food on her own.

too lazy to post pics from phone but you can find old ones in archive. I'm a catpert so I know a feral when I see one. here are two fun catfacts to prove my credentials

1. tri color cats are normally female like 90% or some shit
2. black cats have white shoes because their internal cat printer ran out of black ink by the time it gets to their tiny feets or something like that.

My feel is although I have a large wardrobe that I love dearly and take care of regularly, I feel like the outfits I put together are too simple/boring because I need to invest more in smaller accessories and jewelry. My issue is, I'm both very picky when it comes to what I like and can't shake the guilt I feel when I think of purchasing something because I'm worried I won't be able to appreciate it enough. I have a name and story attached to all my main items; I know getting more accessories will help me make more appealing outfits but I don't want to be wasteful about it either.

My boyfriend isn’t taking Covid as seriously as he should and is causing me a lot of stress. We live in the Midwest which is Hell zone right now and I lost my job and am uninsured due to reduced staffing layoffs. Thankfully he isn’t going to bars or restaurants, but he’s going to friend’s houses twice a week to play D&D and is sitting around unmasked with 4-8 people each time. Our state reported record high cases yesterday and we’re in a really hot area for growth (High population city). He gets a really manipulative pissbaby attitude about it if I bring it up, saying things like “you just don’t want me to have fun or see my friends”, etc., but I’m starting to feel like I want to break up because he isn’t considering my concerns and uninsured status seriously. Unfortunately breaking up isn’t the best option because we live together and unemployed means I can’t afford rent on my own, but it’s boiling down to me seeing he puts his own temporary wants for fun above my health and safety concerns and I’m pretty scared. I had two friends develop heart issues from covid, one so bad he needed a transplant.

My boyfriend is the same way but he's been going to bars, festivals, other people's houses. Had a talk with him about it and now whenever he gets back, he sleeps on the couch for two weeks and washes everything. It's not perfect, but it's all I can really do since he won't stop. I also have my own office room and bathroom so it's slightly easier to stay away, and he uses the guest bathroom downstairs mostly.

If you’re in IL, and are serious about this, I really suggest breaking up with him before second lockdown hits. It’s people like him that are causing the state to turn to extreme measures. If your boyfriend is going to be manipulative when your health is at risk then there is no reason you should put yourself around that reckless behavior. There are a ton of rent relief programs available, especially if you are in chicago and unemployed. There will probably be more in the coming weeks if the state does shut down

The state turns to extreme measures because they're on a power trip and expect people to just blindly obey. It goes against their plans when people rebel, which is what happens when people go stir crazy and lose their jobs/livelihoods from retarded lockdowns.

Serious doubts aren’t fun to deal with, and I have them now.

I think you're missing the fact that the reason lockdown are a thing is to slow down the virus enough until a vaccine is made, which looks like is going to be out fairly sooner than expected if recent news is to be believed. You can still live your life, but don't do unnecessary shit recklessly and don't risk the lives of others, ESPECIALLY those close to you. If you were living alone, most wouldn't care.

>> No.10502166

>>10502158
The purpose is to buy time until a vaccine comes out. However, coronaviruses by their nature mutate very quickly. Several strains of covid-19 have already appeared, with more continuing to appear, rendering the efficacy of a vaccine to be quite dubious. Moreover, vaccines have historically been ineffective at containing other coronaviruses. Masks also aren't as effective as you probably think they are. Thus, this while nonsense is a complete waste of time. Covid us unfortunately here to stay and there's not much we can do about it.

The greater good? Like the Patriot Act? Or the fact the the US has had perpetual emergency war powers since WW2? Like the executive orders from Obama that re-legalized the use of propaganda (the term "fake news" ring a bell)?

The reason I'm speaking of all of this on a cosplay board is because of the government restricting freedom of movement, which effects things like anime conventions. And I don't think the government is going to give up their new powers unless people wake up and demand they do. Yes, there is a virus going around, but that doesn't mean we should put our lives on hold and live in perpetual fear of it like we did with "terrorists" back in the 2000s.

Sometime ago I saw a very pretty dress on ig, it was from one of those taobao brands that you don’t even bother remembering the name.

The print looked a bit like Monet paintings, the cut was gorgeous, it had a lot of pretty lace details. Unfortunately, it didn’t really match my wardrobe and I passed on it, but never forgot it.

Sometime passes, I went to a meeting at a cafe, one of the girls was wearing the dress. I was never so glad for not buying a dress. It should be a crime to have such pretty stock photos for such a crappy product.

The print was grayish, the fabric was the thinnest chiffon I’ve ever seen, the “pretty lace details” were too heavy on it and distorted the dress were they were applied, you could actually see the lining of the dress through it’s skirt. I had to forcefully avoid looking at the girl to avoid rudely staring at her dress the hole meeting. I will never trust taobao stock pictures again.

Just had such a vivid dream of my ex while taking a nap. It felt so real and nice I had to force myself to wake up. it was so surreal and made no sense but I was so drawn in for some reason.

We were at our old apartment, lights were all off except for a lamp in the corner of the living room. She was going back and forth between the bathroom and living room getting dressed up I think. I forgot what I was doing. Then she brought up a problem that I think my brain was telling me was one of the reason for the break up, idk. It was over a bag of candy that she was saving to give her dad as a present but I guess I had eaten it all. This never happened but for some reason I remembered it like it did. My reasoning for doing it was because she had opened it and already ate a couple of pieces. She was done dressing at that point and it felt like she was about to leave and go out on a date. She said she didn't open it and everything after was a blur. I don't remember who hugged who first but I didn't want to let go. It felt like my mind or body didn't want me to sink any deeper into the dream and forced me out of it.

And here we are. I don't even want us to get back together or feel sad about the break up anymore so it was a bit out there. I usually don't have any dreams but the last couple of nights has been really strange. the dream before this one was about being friends with moistcr1tikal and bragging about it on /cgl/ lol.

I want to kill myself because I worry I'll never be financially stable enough to enjoy lolita again. Did you gulls know that while some people think guns are the most effective suicide method, hanging is better? Pistols are too hard to aim for a fatal shot. Shotguns are better but access to guns is difficult in some places. So hanging is way better. I once knew someone who hung herself in a closet with her cell phone charger cord. That seems a little difficult, and easy to give up on unless you were to tie the cord to the area where the hangers go. Otherwise you could easily panic and let go. Some people on Reddit have fantasized about creating code that would basically wait for them to fall asleep and then upon detecting them being asleep for over 15 minutes or something shoot them. Even if the gunshot sound woke them up they'd die so quickly that there wouldn't be as much stress or fear. That is the only downside to hanging. If your neck doesn't snap, it will still kill you if you've used a method that forces you to be suspended or stuck being strangled, but you'll suffocate slowly and that's not as easy a way to die. But it definitely gets the job done. Poverty is miserable and makes it impossible to enjoy the things you like if you like anything besides being hungry and alone and miserable.

This is really embarrassing but I suffer from terrible IBS. If I'm not suffering with diarrhea I have severe constipation. Rather than sitting on the toilet for an hour trying to poo, I've developed this habit of putting my thumb in my vagina and squeezing my intesine/pushing the feces out. Then if I can't get all of that out, I scoop the nuggets out with my fingers.

If you need an outfit to go into the office with, you could try observing what your fellow co-workers wear and then match your style to something similar.

For just regular going out I just do casual lolita. I mean the wardrobe's already there, pick out the dresses with the simplest cuts that fit properly, detach all the detachable bits and don't go overboard with the coording. A plain cardigan will also help to cover up if your dress has too many fancy details.

For everything else (eg if you're going out running) just dress appropriately (eg running shoes and workout clothes).

>> No.10502967

I used to do 500 a day and realized one of the easiest ways to distract myself from my hunger is to find every way possible to make the lowest calorie version of something filling I like. So making ramen with shirataki noodles and half an egg with low calorie broth that is only 50 calories, or eating apples that are smaller and less sweet and have maybe 80 calories rather than 100 or more like a huge sugary honeycrisp or a banana might have. Drinking warm non caffeinated teas to keep my stomach full but enjoy sweet flavors, etc. Obviously longterm you will either crash or be horribly ana-chan if you don't just generally try to be careful of your health so maybe bump it up to 1000 once you reach your goal to maintain, or now and just do it slower. Be creative with how to reduce calorie counts in a way that isn't starving yourself completely so you don't hate everything.

Ah, yes, I'm the problem for doing anything to lose weight because I've lived my whole life hating myself and my body after having my mother tell me I was fat and ugly even when I was 97 pounds in middle school and trying my hardest never to get any bigger or grow anymore despite puberty because I just wanted my parent to love me for once. I then gained weight to an unhealthy degree and somehow I'm the problem for giving advice on what helped me, once I got to a size that people here would usually likely tell me to kill myself for being a fatty chan if they saw what I looked like.

Yep, I'm awful and telling anon to starve themselves by reminding them it's not sustainable and they should eat MORE calories than 300 a day. Also I'm 5'1" and not active since the only gym I have access too is closed due to COVID in fatass burgerland so fuck off telling me how many calories I need for my height.

just start working out from where you're at. once you gain some strength you can fast to cut. once you get into the habit of working out you'll find out that cutting is way easier than trying to bulk. here's the routine I'm using:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/37ylk5/a_linear_progression_based_ppl_program_for/

I'm just lazy/picky when it comes to food so I would only eat like a meal a day. I'm not as picky as I was before and actually enjoy food that I wouldn't touch when I was younger.

Just start off slow so that you can built a habit that way you don't burn yourself out. I would take progress pics too so that you can look back and see how far you have gotten. I started off after coming out of depression at 90 lbs. I'm 115 lbs now 2 months-ish in. I'm trying to hit 130 lbs by the end of the year.

Lol, it is not a proper dream job, better than retail but let's be realistic, there's no such thing.

I enjoy the work, but it's a volatile industry that's contract based between 3 months to 2 years, meaning securing work can be dodgy at times and unpaid overtime is rampant if you're not in a union. The schedule can be demanding, I've been on some seriously toxic productions and no one tells you how to deal with them, you just kinda figure it out. I'm actually on hiatus right now from burnout which is pretty common. I do it because it's what I'm good at, but there's the eternal struggle of wanting to do your own work but you're too tired from drawing all day for someone else.

This is probably dumb as hell, but I feel a little weird about how popular lolita has gotten in the last 1-2 years. I don't want the fashion to become mainstream, honestly. I don't care about being gatekeepery and wanting this to be some secret club, but I miss the sense of closeness the community had before. It's the same feeling I have for missing how cons were before like, 2012, where before it was pretty easy to just chat up some random person at cons and it was normal, whereas nowadays when you do that people think you're some autist.
Also, I guess I'm worried about watered down the fashion will become once it becomes more well known, popular, and mainstream. Like I said, I admit this might be a dumb thing to have Feelings about but idk man, normies just ruin everything.

I get your concerns. As someone who loves itabagging, the hobby has been pretty much ruined by normies who buy random artist alley enamel pins and stick them in a bag they got from aliexpress or some taobao reseller and call it an itabag, which leads people to thinking that's what it is and devalues the hobby as a whole. But I think due to the cost, difficulty of obtaining items instantly, and large amount of pieces that go into just one out, lolita will never become truly mainstream. You'll have more people knowing about it, and it will grow, but it's probably never going to become mainstream.

I know what you mean about cons, though. I think the last con that felt comfy to me was from 2015.

people have been saying this shit for the past 20 years. When brand stores started to offer international shipping. When Lady Gaga and Katy Perry wore AP. When hot topic started to sell """lolita""" dresses.

lolita only got "popular" in China, here in the states it feels like not enough people are joining to balance the amount of people leaving. Even in China the fad is fading. Lolita is never going to get popular like you're thinking it will.

Unless you're worried about like, e-girl tiktok lolitas or something? They'll leave once the next internet trend is here in 6 months.

>> No.10503845

Never gonna happen anon. Brand is too expensive (and even secondhand brand is ballooning in price) and lolita is too crazy to wear in public for it to ever be mainstream. Combined with limited sizing and our toxic community, most people won't stick around even if they poke their heads in.

I think a good way to keep the lolita community small, though, is to keep up the toxicity. It seems like we've gotten less toxic and bitchy, which is not a good thing. Speaking of, someone should really make a CoF thread...

If I notice it getting popular on tiktok I'll probably make a troll account just to shit talk people and shame them. I, too, love the hipster exclusive aspect of lolita.

and to some extent ironic I say this in the same post but I’m so fucking tired of seeing ppl talk about “size inclusivity” with Lolita. Like sizes are already infinitely larger now than 10years ago- every time I see some asinine post like that I just want to comment “loose weight”, because that’s literally it.

a big part of the appeal of lolita for me is the tailoring and details, shitty quality lolita isn't worth it at all

>>10503920
i mean sure, but some aspects of size inclusivity in lolita are pretty reasonable. even when a healthy weight (or underweight) some people are too tall, broad shouldered, or large breasted to comfortably wear a lot of pieces. i don't think it's a bad thing for brands to either have more variety in sizing or to have more cuts available if they're wanting to sell to people who aren't japanese. i'm not a big fan of AP's sizing changes (from the outside looking in, i wear gothic) because it seems like they've moved to being TOO big for a lot of the people already wearing it, but things like Meta having two sets of sizes seems overall good.

>>10503915
i relate a lot to you here and my little sister and friends were awful for years about constantly requesting things from me. they're only doing it because they can. i used to make the mistake of thinking that if someone was asking they must have a reason to, but it's how they rationalize being willing to ask for things- "well if she didn't want to, she'd just say no!" the more you do it, the easier it gets.

Leave them on read.

I had a few friends like that and I don't interact with them anymore. Once I started making good money and it showed in my clothes/car/house, they got all bothered and gave me the silent treatment (leaving me on read or not calling me back) for a few weeks if I didn't get them elaborate expensive gifts on birthdays/holidays. This kind of treatment went on for years, so I finally stopped getting them anything at all.

Also, for my birthday/christmas? They would give me their handmedowns. Or nothing.

Only one of them was a lolita, but she was the biggest cunt of them all. Lived with her parents and spent her (their) money like flowing water on ugly disjointed pieces and crap food (hambeast), then bitched and moaned about no one getting her presents for anything. I bought her some brand back when our friendship was new since no one else cared about her birthday. For my birthday, she didn't even show up then gave me some $10 aliexpress crap later.

It isn’t about being selfish but all my life I would give friends nice things for the holidays in school and they wouldn’t even say thanks. I let my guard slip with this friend however- she didn’t drive despite being almost 30, so I would give her rides whenever we hanged out. No big deal, she would occasionally buy me a drink or snack. Then for her birthday I got her a really nice gift and what did I get in return? A crappy $10 toy. On top of walking all over me verbally, I had enough.

Muscle burns fat, you’ll lose weight faster if you are focusing on fitness and eating a diet that will give your body what it needs to build muscle. And loose flappy sagging skin resulting from losing weight too quickly is NOT kawaii. Imagine having to pay thousands of dollars to have some cosmetic surgeon slough slabs of leftover skin off your body that you could have spent buying brand. And you sound like you don’t know enough about fasting to benefit from it. Fasting is not constant starvation. Not going to entirely spoonfeed you on that whole matter but really, think about it for two seconds. Ideal subjects in trails studying fasting eat healthy all the time they are not fasting, and they closely monitor their hydration and blood sugar when fasting.

Op of post, you know what you’re completely right. I’ve just gotten so used to just searching for stuff that will fit me and just accepting and shrugging off that some stuff will just never fit me no matter what that I had forgotten that maybe I could get joy from wearing something in a cut that in previous years would never fit me. But the fact of the matter is sizes in Asia in general are always smaller than the west so I don’t see it happening like at all. It’s nice that meta is catering to this audience though I guess.
Either way it’s always massively obese girls complaining about this and I’m just like... come on y’all can barely get good normie clothes as it is why would a niche fashion suddenly be more inclusive?
Either way good on meta for catering to them god knows how many upper middle class fat chinese girls must be buying their stuff now

The masks, the lockdowns, and everything were a waste of time. If you want to be mad at someone, blame the the Chinese Communist Party and the politicians who pushed to maintain lockdowns after it became apparent the disease was not particularly deadly. Attempting to completely eradicate COVID is a fool's errand. Vaccines probably won't even be able to eliminate it. It's time for everyone to just move on with their lives.

i get what you mean- one of the things that inspired me to lose a lot of weight was wanting to fit into lolita and look nice in it, and it can make me feel sort of bitter to see people who are massively overweight asking for special treatment in a small-scale, limited production pretty princess fashion. especially when i went out of my way to improve my life and myself substantially to achieve it. but i also understand the desire for people to want to have anything nice to wear at larger sizes and during the process of losing weight. this is kind of a ramble, but i was nearly 300lbs at my heaviest (i'm now almost down to 150 and still losing) and i think it makes more sense for very overweight people to be seeking "inclusivity" in pretty much any field but specialized fashion lmao.

Lockdowns failed to eliminate the virus in New Zealand, an isolated island nation of only 5 million. The vaccine sucks, because it is based on largely unproven technology and will be rendered obsolete by how quickly the virus mutates. This disease is not going away no matter how much you want it to

Besides recommending therapy regarding your abandonment issues if you haven't already, the main thing I can really say is simply just start saying no to everything. The more you do it, the easier it is and it starts to become a natural habit.

And a few more things:

-Possibly start telling people that they already owe you X amount, and any money spent on them from this point forward is expected to be paid back asap (and possibly with added interest)
$1000 is a lot to borrow and if they're in that much debt to you, emphasizing that and adding a penalty should make them wake up and really think about about their spending/borrowing habits

-If talk of money gets mentioned when you don't want to hear about it, change the subject, say you don't want to talk about money because it stresses you out, or simply walk away

-For any future relationships, try not to give people a general idea of how much the stuff you buy costs or how much you get paid. If you're in a country where fast fashion is the standard, people probably won't be able to fully tell that a brand dress is worth hundreds of dollars.

-This is just in general, why do people feel entitled to expensive things from people that aren't family??? I feel bad about people even spending $2 on me, and I personally would only give "best friends" any gifts, and nothing expensive unless they've really helped me out that year or bought me a good gift as well.

Hey now, I love brolitas too, not in a sexual way. I find it an admirable skill to be able to pull off a nice look not meant for your body type, and especially like if a guy shares a genuine interest in the fashion.

Sadly though, this mindset has been ruined by the amount of perverts that get into the fashion for their own fetish and try to push that fetish on others, or the overly cocky types that claim "they're a better woman than actual women" are.

This is my feel. I used to be so pro-trans/crossdressing/supporting men that want to be more feminine or just take care of themselves in general, but these past couple of years has been turning me into a terf/radfem more and more as I see this horrible side of men trying to take over and claim things for themselves instead of sharing and supporting. I hate it. I grew up around drag queens, trans, lesbians and the like and they were chill. Now it's all this hostile shit that demands women be killed, raped, or made into baby factories while the "real" women rule the world or some shit. The fuck happened?

thank you! it sucks, but i honestly forced myself to do calorie counting via MFP and don't eat after 6 or 7pm under most circumstances. i typically eat between 1000-1300 cals a day (i'm 5'3) and i slowly, steadily lose this way. i think doing it more slowly has prevented my from having much loose skin at all though i do still have stretch marks. the fastest i've lost was through intermittent fasting and i actually recommend that if you don't have any problems/medications that have to be taken with food.

Save on other expenses when you can, buy secondhand, browse lolibrary and see if you find any dresses you are like that aren't super popular (including solids over prints), stalk auction and secondhand sites, and be patient. Also, having a small amount of pieces that work with each other, interchangable blouses, and lots of accessories can make a small wardrobe feel a whole lot bigger when you can make more looks with it.

(OP) you and I seem really alike; I was 80+kg at my heaviest and I’ve gotten down to 65, this even before I got back into Lolita I was just developing health problems from my weight. But seriously your journey sounds like it was tough and it most definitely took time and hard work to get where you are today and I commend you on it! But you yeah I agree, you just seem a lot nicer and more understanding than me(I think I’m just tired of seeing overweight girls every 5 seconds complaining about not finding dresses in their size). I understand clothing inclusivity but it really is almost absurd for ppl to want it in a niche foreign fashion, especially immediately.

>>10504516
This wasn’t directed at me, but personally, intermittent fasting 2 or 3/7 days of the week, workout on the days you don’t fast (even 30 minutes on the treadmill makes a difference), count your calories keep it 1500 and below, and personally? Going vegan did wonders for me but I don’t know if that’s also in relation to my own health issues (animal products activate tf out of the inflammatory system), either way animal products are so high in calories if you want to keep eating good amounts and not be hungry but keep the calories low cutting meat is the way to go I think.

>you "gain" a couple lbs while losing then shed that + a little more.
that’s literally your body going into starvation mode and it fucks up your metabolism real bad in the long run. Don’t do this.
If you ever gain any weight after using this method it’ll be infinitely more difficult to loose it because you’ve fucked your metabolism up before hand.
Seriously guys if you want to loose weight just eat a bit less and move around more, restrict your foods slightly but don’t take away completely stuff that can be seen as the occasional treat. Make differences in the long run of your life not just to loose weight immediately.
Also I’ve also found that making a lot of your favorite “treat” foods from scratch makes it more rewarding and you won’t feel as bad eating it (like I like the occasional cake, if I ever want any I HAVE to make it myself and then I know exactly what’s in it, usually use healthier ingredients, and I make only enough for me to eat like two times) I’m still satisfied after making and eating it and I don’t feel as shitty as if I had bought some shit at the store
Seriously, don’t go developing eating disorders just for clothes.
