>tfw trying to get professional help to lose weight

I'm hope it'll help seagulls, I'm sick of spending so much time wasting away because I'm fat and I hate how I look so much I don't even want to be seen in pictures anymore.

Maybe this way I'll be able to finally loose weight for longer then a month or two before giving in to binge eating again. All I want is to be able to wear cute clothes and cosplay, I have so many cosplay plans but I don't feel worthy for any of them as long as I'm still fat.

Anon I know teeth issues. I'm 20 and have had to have my front teeth re-implanted into my jaw.
My teeth are weak and crack and take damage quickly and I have had everything under the sun done to them, and now they look great in pictures.
Granted it was paid for by a mix of NHS and my uncle owning a privet practice, and having his dentists work on me like a pet project but-

No matter how bad your teeth are, it can be fixed.
Go to a dental practice that specialized in
cosmetics, they WILL find a way to fix it.
Get the impacted tooth sorted first, as it may change some gaps in your teeth and alter your bite.
You can get orthodontics for overbites, I've seen a lot of them.
You can get the gap filled in with composite resin, it wouldn't take more than 20 minutes in a normal dentist. Or get a crown made, even though a good one is expensive.

There is ALWAYS a way to fix your teeth. Go get a second opinion from another dentist.

>was 16 when permanent front crown broke in way that I was told by the NHS could not be fixed.
>My 16 heart broke that day when I was fitted for a partial denture.
>My fathers mentions it to my uncle.
>Next day uncle rings me. Then I'm half way across the country with a new dentist who repaired my crown in a hour,with it being partially implanted into my jaw.

thank you, I've tried more times then I can count over so many years, at those point I just have to accept that I need more help then just trying not to eat shit.

As for you friend, it's difficult. Are they in any way aware they are fat and want to change it? Are you willing to actually help them or just want to comment on it?

Weight is a delicate situation and someone who is aware they're fat and attempt to change it really do not want to be told they're fat. If they aren't, it's still delicate but you could, in a nice way, mention that if they ever need help you're there for them. The short time I was able to work out along with friends was great but it isn't possible anymore, but it's one of the best motivations to have.

Not the anon you replied to, but:
I could stand to lose quite a few pounds myself and I've been dieting since March. My boyfriend is/was nowhere near satisfied with his body (I think he was 375lbs at his worst), and after seeing me make progress he found the rest of the motivation he needed to diet strictly. I think you should try to show the person you're trying to help that it's really not difficult, and if you also have something to gain from doing healthier things, you can work alongside them to keep them on track.

I recently got my first job after finishing school, and even though I like it, it's obviously very tiring since I'm not used to it.

I have 4 cosplays to completely make, some which I haven't even started on. I suck at sewing and it's frustrating for me, at this point I never have the energy to start on it after work.
My con is only a month away and I really want to enjoy it and cosplay these characters like I've been planning all year.

By the looks of it, all you need are a few gaps filling, which is either done by a composite, but a bridge would fill that gap. Invisaline bracers would straighten your teeth out, they should be $3000 max.

Aw hun, I know that feel

I actually had braces when I was younger but my teeth moved extremely fast (they were off in 8 months) but did the same after. Seriously, I was told to start only sleeping in my retainers. I took them out for ONE HOUR and could not get them back in. Now I have 4 impacted wisdom teeth, extreme crowding/crookedness, crossbite, overbite, open bite and had to have lots of filling/root canal because my teeth are wearing down like crazy due to my shitty bite. I try to keep my mouth closed for photos and so always end up with the most akward face where my lips have caught on my buck front teeth. Had to demand my friend take photos of me down from ILD because I was so scared of experiencing what you did with being reposted. Yes I have the coveted V shape face but that narrow jaw an palate comes with constant facial pain, breathing problems, dental problems, TMJ, consequent ear drama etc etc...

Aside from teeth, because they're really not that bad,

Your eyeliner looks fucking jacked. Learn how to apply that better. I shouldn't see a strip of skin around your eye like that. Also your facial expression isn't crazy-looking, it's "please leave me to cry myself to sleep I don't want to take a picture." You need to smile with your eyes, not just your mouth.

Holy shit your teeth are awesome! I'm not even kidding. I'm from south Texas and literally I've seen really bad teeth and yours are amazing and very fixable. I can't count how many of my friends had teeth like yours and got them fixed by the time they reached sophomore year in High school.

/fit/ here. I'm surprised this even needs saying at this point.

Calorie deficit loses fat.

Eating at maintenance while lifting weights burns fat fastest.

Eat oats and eggs for breakfast, then much and dinner are meat carbs and veggies. Find your calorie limit, and stay at it or under it.

Lmao I have never seen cgl be this nice. Honestly your teeth are really gross. Like they look hillbilly quality without the rot. And I mean overall you need to do your make up so much better. Like you are clearly trying to look attractive with the shirt (yes I know the ref) but honestly you don't look attractive. Pluck your eyebrows more and learn how to do eyeliner. Also you would really improve your hair to compliment your face better,

You should take advice with a grain of salt. Only break up with her if you think you should, ignore most of what people online say, because they literally only know her from that one story you just told, and so are obviously going to assume the worst.

They don't know about any time you've spent together, any of the things you've done, any of the aggregate experiences that make up what you guys are together, but only that one story.

You have to weigh the pros and cons yourself.

I feel bad but there's a lot of users that will not send their package until a tracking number has been posted because they're "tired of getting scammed." I know it's just makeup, but that broken engrish and procrastination on the send out is making me uneasy. There's also no buyer protection like eBay has so if it ends up being a scam I'd be screwed.

This should be stickied on every advice thread. The comfort of asking anonymously is you won't get judged for what you ask. If you do, know it's based on what you wrote and not on you as a person. You also don't get any bias from friends that just tell you what they think you want to hear. The discomfort is, as anon said, the anons giving advice are going off of one story, with one subject, and with one ending. They don't know the details you may feel is irrelevant but could actually change the advice someone gives.

I take the advice I get here as a guideline for what to do for that specific situation. Then I really think about what I feel I should do. Unless it's in one of the online shipping generals
There really isn't much to think about when someone posts, "I never received my package, this seller has sent the wrong item numerous times, etc"

What a piece of shit trying to force you into this when you only told HER you could make a dress. If I were you I'd tell her that you don't have enough time/materials/money to pay for the materials of both dresses in advanced and only do them both if she pays up upfront. If she's willing to go back on the agreement of doing one dress she's probably cheap enough to try and get out of paying for them both too. If she's willing to pay for them now I'd do it.

I totally get where she's coming from, especially since my last cosplay was kind of a pain to sew and she did the majority of the legwork, but I'll never learn to make stuff by leaving everything to other people and she just doesn't seem to want to let me try.

Why the fuck is your 21 year old friend dating a 15 year old?

>> No.8387259

I have a great job that pays over minimum wage but they like to crack down on hours, so buying dresses is tough so far.
also my job requires lifting heavy objects and carrying them upstairs, so my arms are getting all big and muscley which is not what I want, cause it's gonna look silly in dresses.

I kinda want to apply to be a flight attendant but that involves public speaking which I don't like. Buy I have a sort of easy way into that career path cause I work in an airport. And I don't really like customer service jobs.
also can't afford to go to school to get a real paying job. Besides I'm 27 and by the time I get put of school I'd be really old... Lots of people tell me I look young but I see wrinkles and gray hair and idk how much longer my youth is gonna last. At least I can get into Lolita now before it's too late and then when I'm like 35 I can sell all my stuff off.

Your mom's probably right- unless you find a pattern that's exactly like it (you probably won't) it will need to be drafted, it is going to be complicated to sew by design, and it's probably going to require a heavy material that's just hard to sew in generaI. It is possible to sew a coat but you won't have the skills to do it, so it's going to fall down to your mom. TBH there is no way for her to teach you how to make a coat without an understand of basic sewing knowledge and techniques from you.

If you want to start sewing, you have to learn basics first, start with making cotton shirts, or at least pick a character with simple clothes like a school girl outfit that you could sew a majority of. Don't let this discourage you, sewing is fun! It usually ends up looking way better than store bought clothes and you can get better fabric patterns. I started sewing recently and after only a few tries I can actually wear what I sew in public without being ashamed of myself.

I guess you're right. To be honest, I am actually considering having it commissioned, since it'd no doubt be better than anything I could make. I guess the problem is that if I get the coat made, it won't really feel like "my" cosplay when I'm wearing it around the con, since it'll have none of the effort put into it. I'll still have my props and my bootcovers and stuff, but the majority of the costume will just feel kinda... I dunno, loveless?

I guess I'm kinda torn about this. I want to look good, obviously, but at the same time I feel like the achievement will be lost if I just take the easy way out. I'm probably thinking too much about this.

I have three threads I'm really interested in that I've been watching for several days, but they're getting no activity. It's depresses me every time I see one of the drama threads hanging at the top when the threads I'm watching keep getting to the very bottom and then re-bumped only to end up right back to the bottom. I don't like drama threads so it's always disappointing to see that those are so popular. And all the morons who keep making bullshit threads are just making them threads I'm watching die faster.
