Pretty much. My father gave me a card connected to one of his accounts for emergency purposes, but I think I've only used it once in the few years I've had it, because I needed to pay for some online assignment program for my uni.

The dawn of the visa debit card has made me pretty happy, though, because now it'll be way easier to just use my own money right then instead of having to wait for days for it to be approved/transferred to PP.

Meh, it's anonymous so I guess I don't really care if it's personal. I do plan on breastfeeding, though it's potentially problematic since apparently a lot of women in my family have trouble producing enough milk.

So far I'm like 12 weeks along and haven't gained any weight because of morning sickness. Doctor doesn't seem concerned yet, so I'm just hoping it's a good sign that I'll be able to gain only the weight I need for the baby and nothing extra during my pregnancy.

I know everyone is responding to this, and from lack of replies it's probably a weak troll. But you need to walk outside for a while because all races have different features. A lot of Asians have pear shaped bodies. Not all, of course, but a lot. It's just as common for them as their eye and nose shape. High cheekbones, wide hips, it's all bone structure. Just like a lot of Native Americans have wider rib cages and short noses, and the Irish have strong jaws and weird toes. But there will always be exceptions.

The second toe is slightly (for my family), or way longer than the big toe. They say it's more prominent in men.

When you're pregnant, it's not as if the baby is munching on your stomach contents. It's a total body change and development takes a lot of energy. It's common to gain from 20 to 40lbs depending on the women, more if she's carrying more than one.

> http://www.webmd.com/baby/guide/healthy-weight-gain
> Baby: 8 pounds
> Placenta: 2-3 pounds
> Amniotic fluid: 2-3 pounds
> Breast tissue: 2-3 pounds
> Blood supply: 4 pounds
> Stored fat for delivery and breastfeeding: 5-9 pounds
> Larger uterus: 2-5 pounds
> Total: 25-35 pounds

From the same sight, the first trimester you shouldn't gain more than 2-4lbs, but the rest averages about a lb a week.

I feel you on the round face. A big reason why I left lolita and cosplay was because of all the candid/photographer photos that don't understand how my face works and of course I can't expect them all to.
Looking at photos just made me feel so horrifically depressed, especially when my best lolita friend at the time was tall, 110lbs, really photogenic AND efamous.

I just gave up. I felt like I could never be good enough and was generally an unattractive failure. I became way too caught up in physical beauty as though it was the only thing I had, and that it was sub par and therefor my whole being was sub par.

I lost 10 lbs. I was 5'5" 105 at the time.
For the first 5 lbs, I completely cut out alcohol, fast food, and soda. The weight fell off almost immediately.
The next 5 lbs were more difficult. I don't recommend this. Basically, I will have days when I don't eat anything. I'll drink water, tea with no sugar/cream, or skim milk. Then the next day I will eat "normally", which is 2-3 small meals. It is more difficult because of the tendency to binge eat after not eating for 1-2 days, It was difficult at first, but it got easier, and I could see the progress so that encouraged me.

I won't lose anymore weight, though, or else I'll be swimming in my burando and that shit is not kawaii.

not in my experience, and believe me I have tried. I have some fully shirred and some full back shirred things that fit, but everything else I can not even force over my breasts with the help of another person.

And I don't care if other people think I am fat, that is how I got into this position in the first place. But I feel fat. I look at myself and how I can not find anything that fits, and to me that is fat. The only cosplay of mine that anyone has ever liked comes with the complement "amazing chubby cosplay!" (which makes me really happy, but still). At this size I have to shop in plus sized stores, which also have nothing that fits, but at least it can sit along my bust without making it look like a meatloaf. To me, I am fat, and if 90's cartoons have taught me anything, it is that the only opinion about your body that matters, is your own.... also diabetes runs in the family so I really can not stay at this weight.

I don't understand either! The only brand I have ever bought are partially shirred, full back, and full shirred, and there is NO WAY IN HELL I could fit in my partially shirred items. It just can not happen.

What I am saying is that most of the brand that exists, which is either not shirred or partially shirred, I can not fit into. I don't know what you people want from me as I would absolutely love if I could fit in partially shirred brand but I can not.

ANYWAY this is all moot because my point is I am unhappy with my body, I am overweight (180lbs at 5'5") and I want to fit into kawaii ugu clothes. I have been told my entire life that I need to loose weight by professionals and family and frankly, now is the time to do it.

Is it possible that your shoulders or another part of your bone structure is making the fit difficult? Or is this an issue that only happened once you ballooned?

I don't think it was bone structure for the most part, I almost only buy jsk's for my shoulders, but a few things have never fit due to my ribs... As for the ballooning, I am almost certain it was genetic. Every single woman in my family on my mother's side suddenly became obese (and I do mean properly obese, not just fat, or chubby) in a matter of a few years during their twenties and thirties. As for me? I think the biggest thing that changed was when my ankle was ruined due to congenital ligamentous laxity. I broke my ankle, and did not notice because all of those nerves in my had been near destroyed over the years. So I felt pain, but to me it was not so bad. Even so, I knew it was not a good idea to even walk on on a sprained ankle and I told my PE teacher as much. He threatened to have me expelled if I did not participate in the mile run that day, so I did. Ever since then I have had trouble walking, as a result my exercise regimen involves weights and push ups but no walking for very long or running at all (I simply fall over if I try).

So, I do try hard, but I don't know what to do anymore for physical activity. I recently calculated my caloric intake as well, I thought I was excessively eating, but it seems I was rather wrong on that point. I did start zoloft, but other than a significantly happier attitude, since then I have not noticed any change weight wise, even after I stopped. (which by the way is super shitty)

I'm always too shy to say hello, so I just sort of stare at her like a creeper.

>tfw might get $3000+ out of some freelance work that I think won't take me any longer than 20 hours.

Fuck yeaaah! I just hope the scope isn't enormous because then I'll have to renegotiate. Gonna buy me some sweet brand if this works out but still save the majority.

happened to me too, anon
I didn't go to any cons for about a year due to money problems. When I finally managed to go to one I was quite happy to see all of my old friends again but literally 9 out of 10 didn't recognize me and I was too shy and anxious to remind them.
