I really want to lose weight so I can fit brand better. I started running and eating healthily, and I got down to 131lb. I wanted to keep going, but it plateaued and now is creeping back up - I've gained 3lb already and I'm so mad at myself for not having the discipline/willpower to eat healthily. I also stopped running due to a foot injury and long work days. I want to lose 2" from my waist so I can wear skirts, and generally be smaller as my arms and legs are huge. But I'm 5'7" so AP will never look great on me. I just want to be a beautiful lolita but can't seem to get my act together.

Do you drink soda? if so stop, that will help ALOT.
It will also make you not crave fat foods as much.
Change up your workout often so your body won't get used to it.

Thanks anon, I don't drink soda, it's foods high in sugar that I have trouble avoiding. I'm hoping to start running again soon, do you mean switch between intervals one day and distance the next, or change to something different like cycling etc?

Not an expert, but maybe try swimming? It's less damaging for joints.
Also, you could still look awesome in AP even if you are 5'7"! Try finding longer pieces, and also UNDERSKIRTS. Seriously, they are your best friends; get a few nice ones in matching colours for your dresses and you are done. n1curr if you show a little knee.

Don't get discouraged, I am sure you will lose that weight and rock AP!

I've heard my alma mater's dorms were some of the nicer ones in existence, but they were shitty AND expensive.

My freshman dorm constantly had mold on the air conditioning unit and I had to share the actual sleeping space with a girl who decided to stop washing her laundry except when she ran out of everything once they fixed the washing machines to be pay - leaving the room smelling completely like her body odor 24/7, which led me to abandon my dorm room and stay at my boyfriends rented house and share a single bathroom with him and 2 other guys and their girlfriends. Talking to the R.A. did nothing, so I just gave up.

Sophomore year I lived in a more apartment style dorm where I had a tiny ass bedroom to myself and had to share the bathroom with one other girl. This girl shaved her facial hair, and once I went to the bathroom and there was menstrual fluid on the toilet seat. Needless to say, back the boyfriend's I went. The sad part is, that dorm was more expensive than my first and both were financed with student loans.

So my boyfriend has had a lot of shitty dorm mates. There was one year where he had this great idea to stay with friends and it was a coed room. Which was a good idea until they realized that the two that were dating broke up a week before they moved in. It was not a good situation, as they had a bad break up and the guy got pretty violent. One of them had to move out half way through and it was a lot of drama.

Another year, for the summer semester, he had these group of really gross people. They left the door open so their friends could walk in at any time, hid at their friend's place to avoid chores and so thed garbage piled up. While my boyfriend tried to do his part, he made sure that they failed their room check then cleaned up so they coudlnt get away with it. Keeping the door open meant one time a raccoon decided the bathroom was a great place to nap. Their rooms smelled like shit the whole time, thank god we all get seperate rooms but their mess was all over the living room too. They got booted out of the dorm system after the semester but it was pretty bad. I wasnt allowed to come over because it was that bad.

My bf's last year was good because he befriended the people next door, but bad because the guys in his dorm were also gross. There was one guy who like didnt clean his room so there were rotting dishes in his room, a shit stain somewhere on the floor, and a bunch of issues with washrooms. It was just that one gross guy who had no hygiene, but because it was generally kept to his room it wasnt that bad, since it was contained. He was also a douche and called my friend a slut for no reason, so overall he was not a good person.

Also one of my friend's gf had a situation with menstrual blood. She had one crazy roommate who decided to rub it all over the walls and mirror of the washroom.

I've seen student accommodation/dorms. Urine around the sinks in their own rooms, milk cartons and crusty underwear in the airing cupboard, forgotten food, cookers coated with decades worth of grease. And that's after they were supposed to have been cleaned.

Those are places where people live in them long-term too, it's even worse in places where they're only there for a few days.

I lost a load of weight at the beginning of the year (50lb) but the last two months have been con followed by work stress followed by holiday followed by con followed by my brothers wedding and now yet more work stress and I've just stepped on the scales to find I've put 10 back on and now I feel like a disgusting fuck.

Need to get back on the diet asap. Luckily there's no more events until november now and work should calm down by the end of this week. Need to try and lose that 10lb plus another 10-15 before mid november to hit my target weight for the next con.

I also have social anxiety and ADD. My doctor told me that it's actually a fairly common combination girls. I've been taking Strattera for my ADD since I was 12, and started taking Prozac for my anxiety when I was 14 (after finding that therapy didn't work). A few years ago I switched to Zoloft, and I believe I've seen a noticeable improvement in my anxiety since then. I do still have high anxiety, but I find that I'm able to do things and talk to people that I wouldn't have been able to do in the past.

As for the Strattera, I really can't say exactly how well it works for me since I've been taking it for so long and I still struggle a lot with my ADD. I believe they gave it to me because it was one of the only things that wouldn't conflict with my other medication. It's also a fairly new drug, so it's ridiculously expensive, but the patent is supposed to expire in a few years.

You should treat him to something nice in return he would use. Like a new recliner or a TV or some kind of home appliance he needs so he can relax and enjoy his retirement.

Yeah, I'm aiming for that amount in my bank account actually!

Before that, I was saving up pretty well, but lately things just keep happening, and I've been needing to spend more money on unexpected bills and hours at work have been cut down a bit too... oh well. Things will eventually get better. I'm so satisfied with this dress purchase too that I don't even think I want to spend money on lolita for awhile, which is amazingly refreshing.

Because it's fun? The same reason some cis men are interested in the fashion, I suppose.

I'm trying to lose weight by eating less and working out more. I'm doing it for my health first, but also to wear Lolita. I wouldn't be caught dead in those dresses at my size. I feel really shallow about it too since so many girls are wearing what they love in spite of what people think of them.

>> No.7784780

>>7784767
That makes sense, I suppose. I always raise my eyebrow at "FTM" people or "agender" people who are overtly girly, like lacy/frilly things, makeup, etc. It always seems like they want to enjoy female things without identifying with the gender, because "ugh girls are so bitchy and gross, yaoi and guys forever!!! xDD!!"

However what you two have going on sounds great for you both, and I bet you'll have a lot of fun twinning.

>> No.7784789

>>7784765
There is such a thing as being a girly boy though, regardless of your designated gender. There are also plenty of mtfs who are more butch/masculine than the majority of girls, although I'm not one of them.

I don't see why it should be surprising, though. Being trans in general kind of forces you to, at some age, break social customs and get used to the idea of not fitting in with the norm. Because of that, an ftm being into lolita/makeup/sewing or an mtf being into cars/sports doesn't surprise me at all.

It also might have to do with the fact that before coming to terms with your identity you're kind of pushed to be interested and comfortable with those things. Still doesnt necessarily apply to everyone, though.

>>7784780
I know exactly what you mean, and he feels the same way about most ftms, especially in the con scene where female cosplayers try to pass themselves off as being trans because they enjoy cosplaying male characters; outside of that however, they are completely typically girly. He's definitely not like that though. He's very much the man in the relationship and makes a great effort to pass outside of lolita and other fashions.

My boyfriend and I keep having talks about how he doesn't want to keep doing things for me - which I understand completely - but it's all because of my horrible anxiety. I don't think he understands that it doesn't make sense, and even though I know none of it makes sense, I still worry / am unable to do certain things.

Today I had to call the PO on the phone (one of my worst social anxiety issues) so I was really worn out. His dick of a stepdad made some really good curry and I really wanted some, but I didn't want to just like... take their food. I eat dinner there sometimes, but I feel weird when it's just like... food in the fridge. I explained it to him, and he refused to go and grab me a bowl. I didn't want to go myself because I'd have to face his stepdad who already doesn't like me, and the whole thing ended up with him telling me that I need to get my shit together or he can't stay with me. All over a bowl of curry.

I need to see a therapist. I need to get help and I need to fix this, but I'm so anxious, I don't know if I can. And he doesn't seem to be willing to help me out with it. I don't know what he wants me to do - I'd rather sit and starve while there's perfectly good curry in the fridge, all to avoid facing his stepdad who I see every other day, but he thinks I can handle making the appointment and going to a therapist all on my own.

He said he makes me do this kind of stuff so that I can get better, so that I'm exposed to it, but it just makes me anxious and sick. I don't know how to explain anything to him in a way he can understand, and his dad has all kinds of mental issues which caused problems in their relationship, so I feel like he's got very little patience for them.

It's only gotten bad like this in the last few months. I used to be relatively alright.

What I don't understand is, he seems to be perfectly willing to do things for me just because I'm too lazy to do them (like he'll offer to get me drinks and shit even if I don't say anything but it's been a while since I've had one) but when I actually really need his help, when I'm too anxious to do something, he seems set on not giving a shit.

Like, he'll carry my bags for me when we go shopping, he'll just take them out of my hands, no matter how much shit I bought, but when I asked if he'd go to the therapist with me, just go along, he refused.

He tells me like every other day how sick he is of me, and how tired he is of having to help me when I'm feeling bad, but then turns around and tells me how much he loves me and how he never wants to be away from me. I just don't know what he wants half the time. And then on other days he seems so caring and so concerned about how I'm feeling.

Just let him know you're dressing cute because that's how you want to be, man. In the end, since it's a style you love and something you're used to, it's really not that much more effort than casual clothes. Doesn't feel like work to you, doesn't feel like you're going to fancy.

Judging by your pic, you style doesn't seem overdressed for most things and you seem to know when different clothes are appropriate.

My boyfriend's used to Walmart tier clothes and he's only now starting to look at stuff that's a little more flattering to his body but I think since my clothes were one of my hobbies he just always knew that's how I rolled. He never felt sloppy next to me or like I'm overdressed all the time. I think that's something that comes with knowing something's kind of important to someone.

You are welcome to have him if you think he's such a "unicorn" lmao. When I mean "manchild", I didn't mean he likes anime, I meant he acts like a fucking manchild, as in I'm expected to pay bills/clean house while he plays GTA. Enjoy working 40+ hours a week while he sits on his ass and uses your money for pot. I've tried helping him get a job, paying for various licenses so he could do something he liked, even just part time, for 3 years. I'm not his mother, and I'm definitely not some saint. I will very much enjoy my cat, cheaper to take care of, thanks.

This either goes two ways: one, he leaves you because he shouldn't have to spend time around someone who he loves but doesn't love him back; two, he stays around, hoping one day he'll win you heart, tries to act like just a friend, in the meantime you get another boyfriend, he constantly compares himself to your bf, you get more and more disgusted with him in your life, and it ends horribly.

I think it's because getting you things while you're lazy seems "normal" to him, but when it's related to anxiety he's reminded there's a problem that needs fixing. If he's from a family that doesn't "do" therapy--either everyone's very stable and well or they don't BELIEVE in therapy/certain mental illnesses or believe that psychology is a crock--then that could be why he doesn't feel comfortable getting involved in your therapy.

Anon, for your own sake? I'd say go for it, e-mail someone about setting up a therapy appointment. I know that;s terrifying, but do that for YOURSELF. I can't guarantee he'll be supportive after that, but as much as he's flip flopping he seems to want to help...somehow? There are two ways we can see this as outsiders: he's a boyfriend who wants to help but maybe feels like he's making things worse by doing things FOR you.

Or, he's emotionally manipulative or prone to gaslighting. He seems okay, so I'm leaning toward the first.

But for you? Get yourself some help. If you can, find a friend that will come with you/support you when you start therapy. Vent in threads like these when you freak out about going. Whatever helps you. And doing ANYTHING, even setting up the appointment, HELPS you.

Don't resign, anon! You can do this and you are not alone. I had a few bad breakdowns when I first started my dream job, and it was embarrassing at first, but I stayed. Everyone saw me cry and everything and I left for the day once. But I explained where I was at mentally with my manager, took the time I needed to pull myself together and came back the next day, I even leaned on a few friends for support and HR for some guidance on work load and work stress. No one even remembers my breakdowns, and I'm known as that kickass coordinator that can roll with any punch now. If I had left, I would have forever been known as queen weepy who left after accidentally releasing a first party game for free to thousands of people...

So, i'm going to a smaller con this weekend. It is my little sisters birthday present from me. It will be her first con, she wants to cosplay and everything and is super excited.

Though, I'm a NEET, I have bad depression/anxiety and its been acting up really bad lately. I don't know how I'm going to keep up my usual confident happy act. My little sister has been having a hard time you know, with starting high school this year and I want to make sure she has a great time for her bday.

I need to be strong but, I'm feeling like I can't keep up. She doesn't know of my major issues as its kept secret from her. It's so hard to make sure you make sure the people around you are happy when I feel like this. I'm near suicidal with no real solution. I can't even cosplay like I loved to the last couple times ive been to cons because i just have lost all little confidence i had.

I'm also a little worried her cosplaying will make her super nervous if she gets some of those socially awkward guys wanting pictures. I know for someone shy it can be quite uncomfortable. *The ones I mean that like to get real close and touch for a pic*

Should I be more protective or let her handle it? She'll be 14 but , where we live that kind of stuff doesn't happen... Advice would be great.

>paint tools
he bought me some REALLY expensive equipment for painting during our anniversary early august. i am very unsure what to do with this. am tempted to keep, but if i do i can't really just throw money back at him he won't take it. should i just selfishly keep and treat it like "nannying fee" as i said above, or should i try to buy him something back for the equipment.
>box of memories
i also keep a few cheap gifts or pieces of paper and little objects, i did not touch that box in months, however i am not sure what to do with it now. should i chuck it away, throw it to him, or keep it or what the fuck i don't know what to do. fuck i don't even want to go open that box.

Of course it's weird, even though you know it's the best thing for both of you -change is terrifying even when you want it to happen. There's nothing wrong with you, it's like a stages of grief thing because it's the end of something that you were used to, plus you've basically lost a best friend right now. I promise it gets better. With the stuff, just keep it, sell it, or post it back. Don't go see him, because he is actually going to be better off with more distance between you to let him come to terms with it, if you talk with him he is filtering things through his perception of you guys still being in love/there being hope so he will misinterpret everything you say even if you are basically telling him there's no fucking way. It's like, when you have a crush on someone any attention is suddenly a possible sign they like you, it's the same thing for him right now. The only way he'll get the message is if you ignore him.
I know it sounds super shit because you want to be friends but he is not capable of being just friends with you right now, there will always be a subtext of him wanting/expecting more from your relationship unless you make it really clear, and unfortunately that may mean being very blunt and direct in your actions and basically not talking to him if he brings up wanting to be more than friends. He also sounds immature, if he believes he can change things/you it doesn't actually sound like he really cares about your feelings, just his.

Just be sure you stay with her, anon. In my experience the guys who prey on the innocence of underage girls are usually scared off if the girl has a male escort with her. Even so, you may want to take her aside before the con and gently remind her that if she's ever uncomfortable, you'll be right there to step in. A lot of young girls are afraid their peers won't believe them if they report poor behavior and keep quiet - so assuring her that you'll be there if she needs you can go a long way.

Have a good time at the con! I know cons usually do wonders for my mental health - being surrounded by people with similar interests is always a good feeling, even if a few cringeworthy weebs come with the package.

Maybe I'm paranoid, but I've heard a lot about how lolitas like to get conveniently sick/ill when it comes to shipping things and I'm worried this is what's going on now.

It doesn't help the last person I bought something from "forgot" about my package for a month and it wasn't until I asked about it that they shipped it, but the seller fucked up the address to the point it was almost nothing like my actual address and then didn't put my name on it, so getting that package was hell.

Decently /fit/ bro here, I took a job at advance auto parts last year and had to shave most of my hair (looked kinda like shaggy from scooby doo) and I now wear it in a faux hawk because it's the only short style that looks good with my consistency of hair, I also started going to the gym because a lot of my coworkers invited me and it became a habit. However though all this physical change I go through my taste in women hasn't changed, I still like the same pale, blue haired weeb girls I did when I had my shaggy mane, goatee and did nothing but smoke pot all day. Problem is, I look like so much of a normalfag douche now, most girls I find attractive don't give me a passing glance because they think they have nothing in common with me or that I'm messing with them somehow.

I've need the money for car parts, con hotels, cosplay, miscellaneous and food. But I'm more depressed than ever on the inside. Help me /cgl/

I agree wholeheartedly with >>7787939. Unless you can find a beginner class at your local community center or something, somewhere that can really ease you into doing it properly, you can mess yourself up. Also, and this part by no means describes the entire community, I've found that many of the ballet dancers I've met are self obsessed and rather two-faced to beginners, especially if they've been dancing their entire life and you're starting at 16 or 17 (bad personal experience; like I said, this definitely doesn't describe all ballet dancers everywhere). They have a right to be, since they invested a ridiculous amount of time and energy to get where they are, but I found it wasn't an environment that I wanted to place myself in at such a comparatively "late" age.

Yoga's become stupid popular in the last few years, so there's almost guaranteed to be beginners classes somewhere near you. It'll help your flexibility and balance, not to mention get yourself comfortable with your body and perhaps more motivated to lose weight if you want to do so. I think people would tend to be less judgmental in those classes too. You sound adorable, anon, and you deserve to be more confident in yourself.

>> No.7787969

Just go for it anon ! I used to dance ballet for a few years when I was younger and only got good memories out of it despite not even being that good or graceful. I don't remember anyone in the group ever making fun of the bigger girls and in fact most of the basic practice includes calisthenics and stretching so it should help you lose weight / get more fit along the way.
If you just keep making excuses you'll definitely regret it. I still feel a bit bad for quitting back then, so if you're feeling nervous or shy then try to think of it like you're doing it as a favor to a fellow anon who can no longer be a cute ballerina.

I'm going through the same thing right now, anon. A gift is a gift. If somebody gives you something or says you can have it, that's that. Choosing to part with it due to the stress and sadness it causes you is a whole other thing, unfortunately.

Take into consideration the sentimental value before the monetary value. Before you sell those things, think about the memories behind them. I'm not saying hold onto junk forever, but take a little time to think about how you felt when he gave it to you. Don't let yourself grow cold and materialistic. I know this is /cgl/, but you know what I mean. The fact that you're feeling doubt means you are a human being with a heart, anon.

Focus on healing before you start dealing with the painful mess. You can't progress further if material things are holding you back. I hope you do what your heart feels is right.

Currently at Dragoncon, scored a room at the Marriott.

I told two of my close friends they could stay with my boyfriend and I. No problem, they are cool people.

One of them, we'll just call her Loki, asks if her friend Sif can join, way back in March. I say no problem.

Now I am not too fond of rooming with people I don't know, but I made an exception.

But just 20 minutes ago, Loki's cousin and friend come by and ask to stay in our room. Loki is now mad at me because I said no.

Oh, something else to mention though, don't know how old you are, but after you get older usually people need less of a dosage. When you first take it and your heart pounds a lot and you feel the need to stretch a lot then you might have too high of a dosage.

>flute and sax

You're alright too. But you know what would really spice up your routine? A violin.

Bassoon is awesome, but I don't agree with reeds so it's just flute and piano for me I'm afraid. I have friends who play bass clarinet as well as bassoon which I always thought was pretty cool.

I'm just new here and kinda heard some negative things about /cgl/

well welcome, heres some things
>you all are sluts
/r9k/ is retarded, they shit talk all women, and since /cgl/ is the "girl board" they make up a lot of shit, come in here pretending to be females in raid threads. any post you see that says something like "I fucked 5 men last night, lol" is a troll. and those robots eat it up thinking its really up. and of course, people from other boards will see these trolls and believe it as well.
not everything on the internet is true, and a lot of the capped "horror stories from /cgl/" fake.
people lie on the internet. its internet 101

>/cgl/ is super bitchy
I think so too, but I personally find /fa/ worse. at least we're nice and give advice, /fa/ggots are just vapid man-bitches. a lot of 4chan boards are mean, if you are hurt by this, you probably shouldn't 4chan

I've met a decent nuber of people who post her irl, some of them are really nice and friendly, some are not. Most of the nasty ones won't say anything to you at the con, just things about you on /cgl/ afterwards.
