/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

But just in case you're serious; there's healthy and unhealthy ways to look at weight loss for cosplay or lolita. I've lost some weight for cosplay recently, which surprised a lot of people I know because I've basically been thin my whole life. But now that I've been working out regularly I find a lot of aspects of my life besides my appearance have improved, because working out is actually really good for you. Cosplay may have spurned my decision a little bit, because a lot of characters I want to cosplay have thinner waists than I default have, but it ended up being healthier for me in lots of different ways.

I think what is unhealthy is cgl's occasional obsession with hitting certain measurements or numbers without paying attention to what their body can handle/wants. My waist is ~26-27" right now, and I could get down to 25" before I start getting truly frightening (wide ribcage = skeletor time). Some people my height can do less, and sometimes that gets to me when we have measurements threads or get on a talk about weight loss, but I just take a step back and remember that everyone's body is different. I think a lot of people here would be happier if they did the same.
