/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

[Anonymous No.6571793]

Hey seagulls, how has cosplaying and j-fashion changed the way you look at yourself and your weight? I know I for sure have developed a seriously distorted view on weight since I started getting into j-fashion. Discuss.

(Also, I have a little request. A couple of months ago, someone posted this girl on /cgl/ who was EXTREMELY skinny, I remember she had a tumblr and pretty long white-ish hair. She used to wear a lot of different wigs. If anyone knows who I'm talking about, please post the link to her tumblr, I'm interested)

[Anonymous No.6571810]

I feel like I can't cosplay without wearing a mask because I have a hideous manface to the point of no return.
I also feel that since I'm not white I can't be pretty.
the end.

[Anonymous No.6571823]

Not really. I used to be pretty conscious of my weight when I was a freshman in high school, but I still was always under 100lbs at 5' 1". Then I stopped caring, and in college, my body continued to change -- my hips got wider, my boobs got bigger, and I got a little taller. Now the fat I do have sits a lot better on my body. I'm not stick thin with noodle arms and legs, but I like my body and the way I look in cosplay. I do want to start waist-training, though.

I am, however, now really hate my face. I was never happy with it, but the more I have gotten into cosplay and j-fashion, the more I want to get plastic surgery.

She's a really nice girl but she's a bit like Felice Fawn in the respect that she often does things to make her appear more sicker then she is. No doubt she's very ill, but she rubs rust colored eyeshadow around her eyes and pushes out her bones when posing for images.

She's never actually once admitted to having an ED, but I think it's pretty clear that she does from reading her Tumblr.

Being smaller than most brand sizing and having all this corset lacing/shirring shit has let me get fat because I know it won't make a difference to my lolita stuff. Trust me to get into the fat chick fashion of Japan.

[Anonymous No.6571970]

Cosplay and lolita greatly warped sense of body image.
It was mostly coming to cgl, and I'd see all the skinny gorgeous cosplayers. I was 115 at 5'5" and people would blatantly call me fat on this board. When my friends told me I was getting too skinny I thought they were lying. I tried to stop eating but my mom caught on. When I got strep I faked that I couldn't eat long after I could.
tl;dr cosplay, lolita, and cgl gave me body dysmorphia

Luckily I've had an epiphany since that time (late high school), not to mention gained a lot of weight, and I have a much healthier view of what I should look like, regardless of what cgl tells me.

This, used to think I was fat and struggle to keep an abnormally low weight. As long as I can fit into all brand, I'm good.

Still think I'm fat (even "fatter" now) but I guess realistically I'm not.

[Anonymous No.6572086]

I used to be a big girl. Now I fit into unshirred moitié, and I still think I'm fat.

[Anonymous No.6572112]

Yes.
Since getting into j-fashion I've developed a weird attitude to food... If I eat more than 700 calories a day I feel like a fatass and have to work off at least 300 calories.

My mum's starting to notice I'm looking a little waifish.

[Anonymous No.6572136]

I'm quite small and skinny no matter how much I eat (or exercise, which has only bulked out my arms and calves a little bit), and most brand dresses I own practically fall off me without shirring. I have alter a lot of them around the the bust and underbust so they don't flap.

/cgl/ hasn't put pressure on me to lose weight- I'm grateful that I probably won't ever be a landwhale because of my genetics- but I always feel a little wistful looking at the big-boobs and ass threads. Like I'm stuck at cute-sized and will never be 'sexy'.

[Anonymous No.6572150]

if you find a good exercise, i'm pretty sure you can make your ass look great. your legs might get bigger, too, of course. but be prepared for lots of squats and lunges.

[Anonymous No.6572167]

I don't know if any of you will take this to heart but Ima try anyway.

All girls are beautiful, no matter your size. I really mean that too, I think if your naturally bone thin you are still sexy. If you're chubby with huge tits and ass you are still beautiful. It really hurts me to see gorgeous girls insult their bodies when they're perfect just the way they are.
Big thighs are sexy, but so is a thigh gap.
Little boobies are adorable and gorgeous (plus you'll stay perky longer!) but big boobs are just as awesome.

I guess what I'm trying to say is hey anons, if you ever feel down about your body, try to remember someone out there thinks you are sexy/gorgeous/perfect just the way you are!
As a matter of fact, if you ladies would be game, if you post a picture of your body (clothes or not, whatever your comfortable with) I will say at least one thing I love about your body.

LOL I'm I straight girl actually. Keep your clothes on then, I really don't care. The only reason I said "clothes or not" is because when someone says "TAKE A PIC OF UR BODAY" its usually implied that they want no clothes. I would actually prefer you stay clothed, boobs and vaginas don't really do it for me. Sorry for the confusion!

[Anonymous No.6572218]

I have always thought I was fat, since I was in the 4th grade (yay body dysmorphia.) But I was never really exposed to thinspo/pro-ana stuff until I went on to /cgl/. Then it went downhill for me.
I see all of these skinny Lolitas with tiny legs and tiny arms, who actually look thin in Loli. And it just makes me feel fatter. I follow tons of thinspo blogs on tumblr and spend hours looking at it.

I got to be about 120 pounds (at 5' 3") because of a medication I took; last week, I went on a diet and lost ten pounds. I want to get to about 88.

What really did it for me is I posted a picture of myself in a weight loss thread here, and people told me I was fat. It's /cgl/, so they weren't going to sugar coat it for me.

Anyway, now I'm doing lots of cardio and watching what I eat. It's hard but at the same time I realize that I'd rather be hungry than fat.

Yeah, I have some problems because of being introduced to thinspo, but it probably wouldn't have affected me as much if I didn't have body insecurities first.

>like my body
>hate my face
Yes hello are you me etc.

When I was younger I used to think I was too fat (whereas people around me would tell me I was too skinny, which just made me self-conscious about my small breasts) and basically I was a typical insecure teenage girl. Now I like my body, it's far from 'perfect' and I could definitely use some squatz and shit but fuck it, I look great in clothes.
My face, though? I used to be quite comfortable with my face, but I'm starting to hate it more and more. Because of j-fashion I'm constantly 'surrounded' by cute dainty Japanese girls and I'm starting to feel like some grotesque nosechinmonster. The jaw surgery I have planned (that I pretend is for dental reasons but is 80% aesthetic) should fix the appearance of my chin, but I'd feel weird getting a nose job because then everyone will know I had plastic surgery.
I'll stick to flattering angles and photoshop but ugh why can't I be naturally kawaii?

I like her better than Felice because she does her best to look as sick as possible but in the heroin chic (not sure if that's the proper name) way, you know, very decadent and with the drug addic look instead of the "I'm glamorous, thin is beautiful and you can still look healthy and amazing being this small, it's totally sustainable!".

AND she doesn't go around saying she has anorexia, or talks about it.

[Anonymous No.6572332]

I'm tall, so I have a disadvantage from the start. I have a kawaii face and ok proportions, but for being tall it makes me feel as if I'm too big to be cute... not being able to change my height, I eventually started restricting and developed anorexia. This way even if I am tall, I still look fragile, delicate and child-like.

But this was when I first started watching anime, not J-fashion, which I got into years later.

[Anonymous No.6572338]

It did at first. I was never fat, but I was chubby and it didnt look like my weight was going anywhere but up.

Been going to cons since I was 13 but not till I joined cgl two years ago did weight really feel like an issue to me. It was a combination of wanting to look good in photos like the girls on cgl, and talking to my doctor. I found out I have PCOS. Which means fuck I really cant afford to let my eating habits go since I'm already at risk for early onset type 2 diabetes as well as blood pressure and cholesterol problems. And in fact I was pre diabetic for a while.

So I got motivated to get my shit together for both aesthetic and health reasons. Took about half a years break from /cgl/, as much as I love yall didnt have the time with starting university. But now easing my way back into it and keeping up going to the gym several times a week and strictly watching my diet. But I have a mentality of /fit/ not thin. I no longer really care what I look like, so long as I feel healthy and my body reflects that. Though I find it's incredibly hard to be fit and not have a good body to. I'm not all the way there yet, but my healths certainly improved so I'm happy with myself for that at least.

I had body image issues even before I started going on here a few months ago. Been trying to recover from ed-ish behavior for two years now, I think. I'm 5'3", almost 5'4", and around 102-105 lbs now, which is pretty alright.

/cgl/ and j-fash has actually just make me want a good body rather than a thinner one. Before I just wanted to get as puny and thin as possible. Now my goal is to eat less junk, start working out, and maybe to be under 100 lbs. Better than my last goal of eating nothing and being 87 lbs, fo sure. I've never been over 110 lbs though.

[Anonymous No.6572502]

[Anonymous No.6572510]

/cgl/ has definitely shaped what I consider to be my ideal body. When I first started on this board, I didn't really know how to self critique. I would bash people who were way better than me just because they weren't my idea of perfect and I didn't think that I was being unreasonable at all. Then, I started to self-post and the same critique I'd given others was put on me. I was called fat, shapeless, and stupid.

So I decided to 'fix' it. I lurked the suggestions thread to see what other people around my height weighed and what their measurements were. I looked up my favorite j-fash models' heights and weights as well as my favorite kpop idols. I then aimed to get to a similar weight to the people I liked.

I hadn't been fat during most of high school, but I wasn't skinny. I always had around a bmi of 20-22, but my last year was really stressful and I got up to 25.6. My doctor told me to be more mindful. She wasn't an ass or anything. She just said that if it continued, it may be a problem. So I dieted for 2 years and got to a bmi of 17.9. I felt like absolute shit, but I wasn't at the weights that I had set as a goal.

I felt like a total failure until I found out that a lot of idols and/or their agencies lie about their height/weight. (I was never into the bones everywhere thinspo.) I also was able to (cliche I know) take a class about eating disorders and I realized that while I didn't have a straight up ED, I was going to get there if I kept beating myself up. I realized that I had no clue exactly how low I was trying to go.
I have given up on losing weight now because now my bmi is around 19. I am honestly happy with this and it's been reletively easy to keep.
tl;dr. /cgl/ totally influenced me, but I don't resent it because I do take better care of myself now and I think I have a more positive image than before.
inb4 "bmi sucks" I just used it as a guideline to give people an idea if they cared.

[Anonymous No.6572512]

I've hated my appearance all my life. Women in my family have big bottoms (hips, thighs, calves) but we also have tiny heads so I'm screwed from all sides. The lowest I ever got to was 112 at 5'3 and my legs were huge while my torso made me look like I would break in half (not including my arms those were still chubby too). Everyone told me they were worried that I was sick but all I could think about was how fat I was. I put on a ton of weight since then and now I really need to lose weight but I feel better about myself now then I ever did at my lowest.

Pic is me at my lowest. By cgl standards I was still fat but it's the lowest I've ever been. Somehow I feel like the picture doesn't show just how big my legs were though...unless I couldn't get my fatter self out of my head.

Eat more, and do strength training (especially squats).

[Anonymous No.6572542]

Eh not much, I used to restrict and exercise a lot, but it wasn't because of something silly like cosplay or j-fashion. Had more to do with the fact that I got chubby when I was 13-15, though I've been over it mostly for 2 years now. Though If I get much past 120lbs I'll eat smaller portions and try to eat less starch and meat. I sit at 5'8 and anywhere from 114-120, usually 117-119. I need to start exercising again though, I'm too skinny fat.

But I can't wear certain things since I'm somewhat tall, short waisted and despite not being heavy, I'm kind of stocky. I bought a VIVI dress and it's way too short, doesn't fit me in length/doesn't sit on me properly so I'm reluctant to buy things like that.

If I could change anything it would be:
-may face shape/jawline, round as fuck, sort of wide and my jaw line is too soft. Self taken pictures are fine(no myspace angles or anything), but fuck if it doesn't make me super unphotogenic when other people take it.

-my nose, I'm going to try contouring, but it's a little wide and bulbous. I would consider a nose job in the future

-my boobs stop being proportionate if I gain much weight. If I were to gain 15lbs+ I's probably go marshmellow mode again(now I'm somewhere in between a thin pear and hourglass.)

-my dark circles. I hate these fuckers more than anything. it doesn't help that the skin is a tad hollow most days. gragggh

It's not high, it's just not low. It's averagely thin, but your waist is very nice. I think people exaggerate what /cgl/ thinks is fat or misunderstand ex: you can be decently thin, but if you have a high body fat% it'll show. Muscle mass/tone is important for looking slim.

[Anonymous No.6572568]

When I started getting into j-fashion (gyaru in particular) I really began to hate the way I look. I'm 165cm and about 55kg (5'5" and 127lb) and I detest it. I have a thigh gap, but it's not enough. I just feel like I'm this huge blubbering fat monster who jiggles in all the wrong places. I don't care if I'm a size small in everything, I want to be an extra small. My ex at the time solidified the fact and would call out how fucking disgusting I was, so I was actually rushed to the hospital for fainting in public because I hadn't eaten much at all for a week or so... Fucking embarrassing..

I used to really lament over how skinny Asian girls were. I'd take no boobs and ass over being a fucking whale. I set my body goal to look something like them. But when I went to Hong Kong and saw all the tiny Asian girls everywhere, it was hard to keep that goal. They're just so... petite. Short, tiny shoulders, skinny everything. I'm taller, with broad shoulders, a tiny waist and big hips, and fatter. It's pretty obvious I'll never get there.

I just joined a gym and I'm struggling because I'm trying to keep myself under 500kcal a day. I'm constantly starving. I try to tell myself that I don't have an ED, but I don't even know anymore. I don't even know what my weight goals should be, all I know is that I want to lose weight and fit into cute clothes from Taobao and be able to wear anything I want if I shop in Japan.

You're going to look disgusting as an 88 at 5'3".

I'm 5'2" or somewhere around there (people keep telling me I'm getting taller, I'm like almost 23... Although I did hit puberty a bit late... idk.) and I was best looking at 105 pounds. Anything under that, I looked gross and tired as fuck. The "tiny legs and arms" were barely noticeable because my face looked like I was on meth. I'm now around 110. I'm fine with my weight.

Really, 88? I can't imagine how you'd look. People in high school would call me tiny as fuck at 100. 88 seems disgusting. Please don't do that to yourself.

This isn't even my low self esteem talking. I can admit looking back I looked nice then and I just couldn't see it at the time but now I'm ashamed of myself and I keep trying to get back on track but I somehow seem powerless. My genetics are quite poor so when I gain weight it isn't flattering at all. I know the grass is always greener and I may see someone with a similar shape to mine and think they look great but for now I am very unhappy. I was unhappy then too so i feel like it isn't possible for me to look the way I want. I feel like most people aren't happy though so I can't complain too much.

Well, they have to deal with it.
I know it exists, I have very low self esteem myself and tend to disregard every compliment because since I don't believe them and just think it's people trying to be nice. It never excused me from being accused of fishing for compliments. Sucks, but what can we do?

And no, I personally don't think it does. I like seeing pretty people and if those pretty people like showing their faces, I'm not going to complain. IMO it's only bad if they spam them or act superior and stuff.

Yeah, plus, muscle weighs more than fat. You can be 105 and look terrible and floppy, or you can be 105 and have a nice ass, thighs, arms and not look bloated all the time.

What's going to happen if you intentionally get to a really low BF% is you're going to end up ballooning after a few years. It happened to AnorexicChan on /fit/. She was skinny as fuck when she first started posting, went to rehab and now, a few years later, she's chubby as fuck (and I mean, like, really chubby, not average.) You wouldn't want that - that'd just propel your insecurities further.

Yeah, I have the same body type as you. I'm short and I've gone from 36-30-38 to 35-27-38 so far. Keep in mind my ass is pretty flat, so most of that 38" is hips. And I have 21" thighs. I just can't get rid of any bulk around my bottom, it's the place where I build the most muscle and hold the most fat.

No one even notices that I've lost weight since anything that's not 100% skin-tight just tents out away from my waist because of my hips.

[Anonymous No.6572612]

I'm a lot taller than you, but my body is similar to what yours was in that picture
(just longer, torso is the same though)

I have a gap, but it has more to do with my height than anything else. You could probably get one similar to what I have, but it wouldn't be drastic like some girls.

I know what you mean though, I haven't really gained any weight in the past 3/4 years but my measurement have change quite a bit(was 31-25.5-33.5 and pear shaped when I was younger and really fit, now I'm 33.5-24.5-35 and more hourglass than pear.) My shape is better, but I'm pretty jiggly and have a lot of back fat and lower back fat now. My arms are bigger to.

[Anonymous No.6572621]

At least you're all not a butterface... that's something I can't change. Unless surgery. But I don't think they have face-shape/forehead surgeries available. The only thing I can do is change my triangular shaped nose and even that would cost too much money - about 15 grand in my country. I have a huge moon face and I hate it. It's huge. People look at my face and think I'm fat... I've never been fat, always been a size 2. My face isn't even "fat" it's just insanely wide and insanely long and I have this huge fucking head and I don't think there is any surgery to change my features.

Indeed, but it's not difficult to settle at a healthy bf%. anywhere between 14%-19% will generally keep you at that 'fit' look.
I say generally because in the past 4years I've been as low as 14% and as high as about 19-20%(presently I think), and even at my lowest I didn't have abs that you could see. But my back, arms, and especially legs were defined.

I'd kill for bigger tits, I'm a 28/30 D/DD which isn't that big(a handful for me)

my measurements are nice, but I have a stocky/short torso and a widish set chest. Generally clothes can hide it alright, but not all the time.

I'd like to settle at 33-24-34.5

you, person reading this:

1. go to the gym and perform weight lifting exercises like squats and thrusters. dont just run or jump on the elliptical (but do that too)

2. eat a balanced diet instead of a low diet. dont do some fad shit like completely skip carbs or eat only maori tutstu leaves or something

3. get 8 hours of sleep at night

there you go you'll look much better in about a month

I barely had a problem with my body before, and now I'm starting to like it, especially since I'm lifting a lot more than ever and back into training mode. At the risk of sounding really conceited, I have a pretty great body. Of course it could be better, but I have decent breasts and an alright ass, especially for my race.

But I completely agree. Looking at those cute girls, especially cute Korean girls, makes me really sad. I'm so close, yet so far. I'm almost one of those typical pre-surgery Korean girls, except I already have double eyelids. My nose and jaw are gross and let's not even get started with the eye bags.

Are you going overseas for surgery, or are you getting it in your home country?

And I feel you about the apprehensions to having a nose job. I've told a lot of people that I want to get my eye bags fixed, and they understand, because I seriously look tired/sick even when I'm well rested, but I have no real reason to make my jaw slimmer or to thin my nose.

No, I'm an apple so all the shirts I wear have to be loose and longer (also because I have a long ass torso) to hide my stomach pudge. I've been at 12% BF in the past and still never had visible abs. If I wear anything that's a light colour and tight, I look like a landwhale. If my bodyfat ever goes that low, I have no ass. Literally. No ass. Like, if I stand straight, there's no ass. It looks like my thighs are connected to my back. Thankfully I'm never going back there again but...
At least you can have an ass.

This is the way I see it: plastic surgery is like any other self-improvement.

You hate your body size? Gain/lose weight.

You think you're a fucking idiot? Get an education.
You think you're useless? Develop skills.
Think you're unattractive? Makeup.
Unattractive in ways makeup can't fix? Plastic surgery.

I'm from a non-shitty 1st world country. The lowest doctor I could find was 8 grand, and when I googled her, her license was taken away for two years for killing a woman while doing lipo. There's another one in my area who does them for 7k but he did some work on my mom's body which turned out awful. Generally, the good doctors here are 15k.

I also don't need like, a reduction or anything shaved off. Since my face is so big, my nose looks very small and is very flat and triangular and has no definition. I'd need an asian nosejob (I'm not even asian, fuck life) and those tend to be more pricy around here. Plus, they wouldn't be able to do anything more than just define it a little bit before it starts to look too fake.

Basically, I'm fucked. Don't get me started about my lips. They have a life of their own, they're plump and fine but my cupid's bow is way too defined. It makes my lips almost look beak-like in some pictures. What a waste of perfectly plump limps.

For the first 2 decades of my life I never wore an ounce of makeup; until starting to wear lolita.

As far as body image, it's gone from absolutely not caring to thinking about it every day.

I'm 5'1" at 109 lbs currently, with a bf% of about 27. I'm at 37-28-38 roughly. Most of my fat seems to like my thighs, and my underbust is the same as my waist, so the top measurement is mostly boobs in difference.

I didn't think this was a big deal but last time I posted those measurements, I was told I wasn't exactly ideal, leaning fatty. Which is kind of right now that I look at it, because I DO have an excess jiggle around the thigh/butt region.

I've been on/off dieting since high school with no results because I'm a faggot that can't stick to jack (not that Jack would like it if I stuck to him ;D ). I'm on another diet now, and I swear I'll fit into Mary Magdalene if it's the last goddamn thing I do.

Not the OP, but cup sizes are relative to band size. A 28D is the same volume as a 34A. I am also a 28D, and my measurements are 27.5 underbust/32.5 overbust. Cup size means nothing without the band size--it's a terrible means of gauging size!

You aren't fat at all but I know that feeling. Eat healthy and I have an exercise program to recommend to you. Aside from cardio try a little something called Callanetics. Some stuff for it can be found on youtube and I know it looks very outdated but it works for maintaining a feminine shape while getting smaller. It uses muscles deeper than most exercises tso you make great use of your time.
Please don't hurt yourself.

thank you. Someone who actually understands how a correct fit looks.

People, stop thinking Ds or DD are some huge monster tits. Cup size is dependent on band size. Smaller girls can have very porportanate tits with having a D or DD. This is not some kind of huge boob size on a tiny girl. Once you get into the F G H range, yes, those will look big/large on a small frame. Or even a larger frame. It's all dependent on underbust vs bust.

J-fashion has definitely made me care more about my appearance, but thankfully not to the point of being unhealthy. I understand my body's limits (for example, I will always have big hips because of my structure) and try to be the best I can within those limits. I've always been skinny, but I recently started going to the gym for more than just cardio (learning bodyweight basics). Currently I'm at 5' 8" and 118-120 lbs. My goal is to be closer to 125 lbs but muscular.

I will never have big boobs, and I will always have big hips, but I can make sure I'm in the best shape possible for my bodytype.

Yes, unfortunately I didn't know how it worked exactly until 2 months ago. Now I have one bra that fits and a billion that don't. It's really hard to find a 28/30 band size in store without it costing $$$ and having to go to a lingerie shop.
Even online it's still more expensive than places like La Sensa/ La Vienne Rose/XXI/H&M which really sucks when you don't have much money. Plus unless you already found a specific bra in a store and then shopped for it online, the sizing can still vary a tiny bit(ex: the bands can be slightly tighter/looser than other brands)

I think for my birthday/christmas I'm just going to ask for bras and panties.

I used to be rail thin in my early days and then somewhere around 15-16 I gained a lot of weight due to a lot of personal shit going on and side effects of medications and I was at 125lbs. I'm vertically challenged with 5'0'' so that amount of weight made me look really chubby...

I've always felt immense self-hatred, ever since I was 10-11. Everything about me bothered me. But weight/weight-loss was never on my mind. I was skinny so why should I care? But then that happened and I descended deeper into my personal hell.

I've managed to lose a considerable amount now. Years later I'm at 90 lbs and I'm trying to shed the last few pounds so I can be back at 83 lbs. Chest wise I went from a C to an A (and most of the time even the smallest A-cup sizes are too big now). I count calories, I can't eat food without feeling guilty, I can't stop thinking about food or feel horrible about my body when I gain just a bit of weight back which happens mostly around my period. I really need to exercise but being outside and being seen by people makes me feel horrible. I feel they're looking at my body and thinking about how disgusting it is so it's harder to do any sports that aren't possible in the safety of my home.

As for how far /cgl/ and j-fashion has influenced me: definitely a lot. I've been into this shit since my early teenage years. I've tried to dress better, it made me be more eager about losing weight because someday I wanted to be posted here along with those gorgeous cosplayers I envied and idolised. J-fashion made me accept that I'd always be considered 'cute' because of my size. But it has also increased my self-hatred immensely. I hate my body and I hate my face because I will never look as dainty as those asian girls look (and many cosplayers/lolitas that get posted here). I guess all I can ever do is just admire from afar and sink deeper into self-pity.

and wow since tl;dr: Yes, thanks to /cgl/ I hate myself and my body even more!

Actually, it's not so much as having low fat, more about eating things with less sugar, salt and oils, exercising regularly and drinking lots of water.

I have a huge cellulite problem and when I was on the fat end of healthy, it went away almost completely when I started doing all that, even though I hadn't lost a gram yet.

If you do all that and still have them, though, you'll probably have to go for a therapist for massages and stuff, because even lose weight won't help you much.

I was in the process of loosing weight before I started cosplaying, but cosplay has helped keep me motivated (lost 85 pounds now, has taken 5 years). Recently started lifting to and can pull off fit characters no problem.

[Anonymous No.6572848]

I'm kind of the opposite of the usual..?

I've always been really thin, especially my limbs. I was bullied all through middle and high school, especially for my chicken legs.
Finding J-fashion helped me learn to love my body. I don't look very good in what's usually popular in America, but Asian styles suit my body type much more, since I have a very petite bone structure.
Saving the sob story, bullying affected me pretty badly, but finding something I felt good in really helped improve my self esteem and ultimately, my entire outlook on life.

Same!

It actually had a better impact on me. Ever since I was a kid, I was always pretty skinny. In late elementary school-early highschool I started becoming more self-conscious about my body. I was flat as a board, my arms and legs were stickly, my hands boney and veiny. I used to always wear long sleeves to cover my arms, and would always pull it up to cover my hands so no one could see when I wrote in class. I just absolutely hated myself.

A lot of people always commented about my weight, and I remember getting looks from girls during our lessons about eating disorders in highschool health class. All during highschool I really tried bulking up and eating more to gain weight, but it didn't really help. To be honest I was a picky eater, and my family ate pretty healthy so I had no interest in soda or sweets.

It wasn't until late highschool when I started going on 4chan's /fa/ that I was introduced to "thinspo" threads, of people just posting dozens of pictures of skinny girls, looking to them as inspiration to lose weight. The girls all looked so pretty too, and they were exactly my size. Learning that people looked up to these girls as inspiration to lose weight gave me a huuuuuge confidence boost, my self esteem became a lot higher, and even to today I'm actually quite happy in the body I'm in.

[Anonymous No.6572939]

I've liked j-fashion for years but kind of got out of it when I had an eating disorder. My interest in lolita helped me get out of my eating disorder. I guess it gave me something to do or focus on, other than food?

The problem now is that I gained a ton of weight (20-25 lbs) in recovery/starting a new medication. I'm trying to loose weight healthily so that I can fit better into lolita. It fits but... I don't know. Like others, I'm taller than most other lolitas (5'8") so I'm already huge!

[Sick !.LlKAkH4Jk No.6572952]

I think being interested in Japanese fashion has made me more secure with my appearances. I'd never really seen being thin portrayed in a positive light, and I'd been ridiculed for being too skinny a lot, but when I got in to lolita I got a lot of positive compliments on my body.
I'm not into lolita anymore, but It's been kind of nice to see how thin-ness appears to be a bit more acceptable in Japan (presumably because there is less of a focus on being "sexy" which generally requires more weight) and thus somewhat more accepted amongst international fans of j-fashion as well. I feel kind of guilty getting some pleasure from it, though, since I know it makes a lot of girls feel pressured to lose weight.

I love j-fashion, and have for a really long time. It's always been inspirational to me, but I don't think it's ever pushed me to any extremes - I'd see a model or something and want to be that thin, but it wouldn't translate into more than a bit of exercise for a few days.
I'm 5'2, 125, and I carry my weight in my thighs/butt/some tummy - though my arms/wrist/ankles/feet are super tiny, so I always look weirdly proportioned. I've always felt super self conscious about my thighs, and I think that getting into more jfash - especially gyaru - has made me hate them even more. I've never had a thigh gap, and I'm not even sure if it's possible to get one with my body type, since even at my best my thighs have always touched. I've gotten into lolita, which ahs helped a bit since that covers it, but it's horrible knowing that under my cute clothes there's a lot of gross fat that I'm hiding. Thank god I'm going to start up my gym routine again soon, I've just been ballooning lately.

Diet plays a role because edema intensifies the appearance of cellulite, but that is essentially "water weight". If you've ever seen the before/afters on those miracle wraps or whatever they do for like 200 at tanning salons, that's how those work; it's like a concentrated sauna around your body that TEMPORARILY helps diminish the excess water stored in your tissue.

Decreasing your bodyfat is the only real way to help it (although the other can look different it's just water retention, but something you should do anyway), although you can't completely get rid of it.

I think she had eyelid shaping, a tiny bit of jaw shaving (from how her jawline looks near her ear, 3/4 view does not fix this normally), and her upper lip reduced. The rest is make up, good lighting, and a touch of photoshop. It's all relatively minor stuff, but when combined, you get korean idol.

I've accepted my viking body, large milksacks, and orangatan arms for now. I lost around 15 lbs from being chronically ill though. I get a kick out girls who are very thin and put on make up to make themselves look sicker. I'm constantly putting make up on to cover the fact that I'm sick. If I don't wear make up, people are constantly asking me if I'm ok. But being on here has warped my perception of my body somewhat.

are you kidding? the lowest i've been at 5' 2" is like 93, and while i still did have a little bit of fat on my stomach, i can't imagine losing 13 more lbs at that height, let alone an inch taller.

[Anonymous No.6573463]

My measurements are 40 bust, 30 waist, and 36.5 hips. I'm five foot seven inches tall. 142lbs last I checked [it's been maybe a month since I've had access to a working scale.] 18 years old. :\

It's absolutely frustrating as hell. I have decent muscles, but all they do is make my thighs look thick.
I work out [mostly ab exercises and yoga every morning and night before bed. I've been doing these for three years and still have a lovely layer of tummy flab, despite the killer abs underneath] and I diet [no sodas, dessert only on special occasions, abstaining from junk food with friends, lots of veggies, lots of water and tea], but my sizing never really changes. Probably has to do with the fact that I'm an emotional eater and, in extremes [that don't happen often anymore] a purger.

Looking at my measurements, I know I'll never be able to fit into Lolita, despite my hopes. Even if I were to lose enough weight, my shoulders are too broad. Also, because of my broad shoulders and my insecurities regarding my body shape [which my boyfriend insists I'm too harsh on myself about and that my curves are sexy as hell], I mostly do a lot of crossplaying. I have the perfect binder that completely flattens out my chest.

If I'm lucky, I'll be fitting into partially shirred brand when I reach my goal.

But actually, I don't feel prettier than when I put on my loli.
I've battled with hating my body all my life, but I always failed at changing it. What I finally realized, is that I'm trying to change to suit other people's desires. As long as that is my motivation, I will fail.
Before I can change me, I need to love me. So I'm getting into the things I love (working on my first lolita coord) and I'm not letting my fear of "What if I'm not pretty enough" get in the way. And looking at that dress and at my cosmetology school apron just make me feel so happy and accomplished. I'm finally being me.
Granted, I have promised myself to get in shape starting this year. But I don't think I specifically WANT to be skinny. I love the sight of plump girls, and I want to emulate that. Not unhealthily overweight, but cute and curvy.

For me, Lolita is part of this changing point in my life. It's a new start for me. I can be cute if I want to be.

You must have missed the bra size discussion earlier. Cup size is not a good indication of size without the band also, because cup size changes in relation to the band size.

For example, a 28D = 30C = 32B = 34A. They all have the same volume in the cup. A DD is not large if your band size is also small! The cup letter simply refers to the difference between the underbust and overbust measurements.

I used to wear 34A because I didn't know any better. Now I wear 28D. You might think WOAH THAT'S A BIG CUP SIZE JUMP! but in reality it's the same volume, just a better-fitting bra.

Well, a lot of them do have more flattering makeup and circle lenses plus lighting and better skin. SOME people did actually get acne treatment, though, so their skin did change.

I personally know a korean girl who has gotten almost her entire face and boobs done. She looks great.

Ever since I've gotten into j and k-fashion a few years ago, I've been trying to lose my stomach and gain a waistline (current measurements are 5'1, 33-27-35, about 110 lbs-ish though it fluctuates from 108-114), but it's been pretty difficult. The lowest weight I've been is 102 lbs, but I've just steadily gained it back for the past years. Luckily i tend to store fat on my hips so it doesn't show too much. I know i'll never be like one of those cute Korean ulzzangs but i'm trying to do what i can...

Well, it seems like I was born like that since my knees would always give out as a kid. I'm on a waiting list to see a specialist because they suspect my dysautonomia is being caused by Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which would explain my constant joint issues, fucked up bones, and joint hyper mobility.

Same metabolism. Same diets. 5'10" and I've never been over 110lbs.
Endlessly called names and have gotten all of the "Wow you're so disgusting" and "do you have an ED" from close family. I don't give a fuck from strangers who spout "you're unhealthy and need to gain weight", but from aunts, grandmothers, my own mom... it used to get to me. I also get told to go into modelling, and photographed/followed/complimented by strangers in public, but I somehow only ever heard "You're ugly".
I'm finally in a situation where I can buy myself food and not have to walk everyday, and I'm steadily maintaining 111 and looking my best. Surprisingly, I actually have boobs and thighs.
I still can't fit into my size 0 clothes, but I'm happy and secure with my body. dermatillomania scars, huge jutted bones, pea head, giraffe neck, football shoulders and all -- which makes all the difference.
Try to just enjoy the way you are, guys. Dance in the mirror in the morning and sing about how sexy you are. Look at all the cute parts of yourself.

If anything, I'm really sad that I can never wear things like cute bikini cosplays without worrying about how my back or ribs look. I'm a good height and body type for that kind of cosplay, petite and thin. But I've got a really severe back curvature that affects how my shoulders sit, and it makes one shoulder blade jutt out really awkwardly, and my lower ribs on the opposite side in the front do the same.

I've got a pretty face, I'm small, I've got decent sized boobs, and naturally maintain a low weight, but having bones sticking out like that is just... eugh. I was flat-out told that surgery would be the only way to fix it, and it would probably be too risky since even though it causes me physical pain, it's not severe enough to interfere with everyday life.

I hate my back, and I wish I had the kind of posture and bone structure that so many other cosplayers have.

I have some mild scoliosis too, my hip is about .5"/about a 20-30' angle higher on one side which in turn makes one side of my waist be a gentle curve compared to the other.

Also my tail bone sits a bit to the right which I just noticed a few weeks ago. It's long(for a tail bone) and makes it hard to sit for a long period of time/do certain exercises

Aesthetically I don't most people would notice anything but my "slouching" (I can't really stand up straight, if I try it doesn't look right and hurts to keep up)unless I pointed it out, but it cause some pretty bad back pain after a while. I always have tense/pulled muscles, going back to massage therapy thankfully, even if the 30 min sessions don't fix things for long(lasts about 48 hours)

It doesn't help that my body likes to sleep in a weird position.

Years of seeing all the thin cute lolitas and j fashion models have just made me want to lose weight. I am also in the same community of a pretty well known thin lolita and whenever I see here i meets it drives me further. recently I have cut my calories down to 900 and eat healthy when I eat. I am fat by cgl standards, 120 and 5'5", but I want to get down to the mid 90's. I just feel that at that weight I will like my body a lot more, be less jealous, happier, look good in anything I wear. I would say I don't have a distorted view on weight, I don't hate my body, I don't see a problem with changing somethings to make myself happier.

While I can believe your friend isn't anorexic, unless she has some sort of condition and has been checked by a doctor, she more than likely is too active for how much/little she eats in a day, perhaps has days where she's busy and forgets to eat, etc but not to the point where it's affecting her health right now. Though she might not be getting some important nutrients which can be a problem later on in life.

Did you read my post? I never said anything was wrong with her, just she probably doesn't pay attention to eating as much as she could/should. My brother is the same way.(I wasn't the anon you responded to)

The only thing I said is the reason someone would be significantly/notably underweight who doesn't have any sort of illness or eating disorder is if they don't eat as much as they should, which in these cases is usually because they don't really pay attention for whatever reason
(generally I find it's because they're busy and forget to eat, or only grab something really small) and isn't what people refer to as "naturally thin"(i.e the person just has a super fast metabolism/doesn't gain weight for magical reason despite you seeing them eat something fatty for lunch), especially since metabolism's don't really differ all that much aside from certain factors like age/illness/conditions/or they're REALLY active
Ex: my friend who is about 80-85lbs and 5'5 falls into the last category. She eats large healthy meals, but she was active as hell during highschool(Taekwondo, Badminton, dancing, and I think swimming). I think she's around 105lbs now that she only dances and is too busy with school.

TD;LR Unless you've been tested by your doctor, or are extremely active, it's very unlikely you're underweight because your metabolism is too high.

I'm not trying to bark, just people should kind of stop saying it's because of a high metabolism when that's almost never the case. It's like when overweight people say they're overweight because they think they have a really low metabolism when they most commonly have normal if not sightly higher metabolisms because generally they don't suffer from conditions that would affect their metabolism in any significant manner.

Unless someone is dangerously underweight, it doesn't matter too much as long as you're eating healthy and such. Just stop automatically dismissing it to things like "naturally skinny" or "high metabolism", because it's quite uncommonly if not rarely correct.

oh bby you're so pretty
I can't determine if you're "healthy" from just this one picture, but I really hope you are.

Also, I have self-esteem issues stemming from fashion. I'm 5'6, 125 lb, which is a weight I'd be fine with, except I have a less than average ass(seriously, men's pants fit me better than women's pants), relatively large thighs (most of my muscle is stored there for whatever reason) and most of my fat goes to my stomach.

I don't have a great amount of will-power when it comes to food, though, so I think I'm just going to go to the gym and burn the excess 5-10lb off and work on gaining it back/transforming it into muscle on places on my body that won't be on my stomach.

If I can get it to slender muscle (treadmill here I come), I will be a great cross-dresser.

I haven't started yet because I'm still not finished applying to college and I'm really sick, which in turn has a very high chance of triggering my asthema, so I'm not going to risk it until I'm better.

Also, I smoked cigarettes until this September/October and I'm really afraid of going back into full work-out mode and realizing I've been horrifically affected by it. Fucckkk.

[Anonymous No.6574434]

I'm 5'11". I've always hated the fact that I'm not cute and small. Right now, I think I'm really fat. Total pear shape, big ass and thighs. You can count my ribs though and my boobs are meagre B's, perhaps almost A's.

At some point, I went on a diet / exercise spree and lost a lot of weight. I was permanently tired and hungry. However, I still didn't look thin while wearing clothing because I have extremely wide hips. My hipbones jutted out of my sides and you could count my ribs. Still felt fat. In the end, it was a regime I couldn't keep up because I started injuring my knees.

I really want to lose weight again and become as thin as I was, but with less exercise and less eating. /cgl/ is definitely one of the causes. I feel huge when comparing myself to the pictures of some girls on here. I'm convinced I'm way too big to cosplay. Yet, when I tell my friends that I want to lose more weight, they say I'm not fat and that anorexia ain't good. I really don't believe them anymore.

>has cosplaying or lolita affected your outlook on your image?
Not really. I've never dressed in ways that were terrible for my body type and I've learned to like myself. Some parts of me were harder to accept than others. 5'4 225 here btw. I think the hardest part to come to terms with was my lower abdomen, which is slightly distended and flappy because I regained/lost so much weight. I need a tummy tuck but it's something that can wait. I like my face a lot so I don't have a problem with that.

I think playing a lot of sports and doing things like lifeguarding in high school and college kept my esteem up even if I was overweight. Because you feel like you're accomplishing something even though you're different. Most of my friends say that's the reason I carry my weight so well. Acquaintances/people from4chinz usually guess me around 170-180 and I don't have the guts to say they're about 50 pounds off. I still enjoy things like walks and swimming, and I don't get winded doing things.

And idk, I look at people in this thread who are well below 100 pounds and still say they hate their bodies and it makes me kind of sad. I think bodies like that are fine the way they are, and there's no reason to lose more weight lest you put yourselves in danger of some unhealthy habits. I myself am seeing a nutritionist to talk about my recent weight gain and what are some triggers I have to make me want to overeat.

Use to be 60kg through out high school, had the hour glass figure big butt, big rack small waist and being 5'7".
Hated clingy clothes made people always stare. Men think I was an adult and not a kid(I'm from the uk btw)
Hide my figure, hated every bit of it. Never paid attention to the fact I was gaining weight rapidly in college after having 8 miscarriages.
Had to go for an MRI a few years later, took my weight 110kg. Turned out I had shrunk aswell to 5'5". Couldn't get my head around it, couldn't see I was fat now.
Tried to lose the weight wasn't really shifting. Found Lolita, started measuring myself to see if I could. Horridfify by the 120-95-136 measurements, wasn't going to fit anything. My dress form didn't even go any where near those sizes.
Started aiming for 76cm waist, wanted to at least get into bodyline's cute skirts.
Did it felt good, then my legs started to buckle got told to lose the rest of the weight(88kg then) told to drop to 57kg if I want to keep walking.
Now 62kg, 5'7", 85-62-90 still got to drop a little but I'm feel thinner than I use to be. I my bones poke out more, I feel disgusting but my thighs a still massive and I need to drop more by doctor orders.

My boyfriend is 5'10 and 155, there is no way in hell a woman who is 5'4 and 150 doesnt look overweight.

Stop trying to argue this, fatass.

Mmm language anon.
Sorry, a 5'4 person that weighs 150 doesn't look overweight. It's a tough pill to swallow for you, I'm sure.

>Making a big deal out of 2 inches

I wouldnt make a habit of nitpicking anon. I really dont think women who are in the 150~ range having that many options. Plus he looks perfectly fine, I think more men should aspire to his body type instead giant roided of pieces of flesh.

Your tears are delicious, keep em coming.

And no he's a manlet and it's your fault for dragging your manlet bf into an internet argument. Deal with it.

you've got nothing except reaction images and blanket statements. I'm done with you. Trying to convince yourself that 150 at 5'4 is not overweight really shows that this place really is infested with landwhales.
