/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I've been dieting and exercising for cosplay because I feel stupid as fuck being an ~asian gril~ but not being stick thin and having skinny legs worthy of being Hot Dogs Or Legs. But man, when I see pictures of other people (especially if they're trying to lose weight as well) who have a "flat" stomach (some people have flat stomachs but still don't really look "skinny"... does that make sense?) but are shorter AND heavier than me I just feel so jealous. I think I'm skinnyfat because wearing clothes I look alright since I'm actually a "healthy weight" but I've got a gut which gets even worse throughout the day/with bloating, and it never went away even when I was underweight for a bit. I'm just so upset that I can't do midriff-showing cosplays nor do my abs have any indication of making themselves seen any time soon.
