Weight lose is super important to me, not only because I have health problems but I want to feel more comfortable in my own body. Cosplay is a great motivation for pushing myself to lose weight. My main goal is around 140 which is healthy for my height at 5'2. I also have a wedding in the near future. Of course it's not health to lose so much (Not saying how much I weigh, I will once I am near my goal.) weight so quickly. My goal is to lose 500 calories per week, which is healthy. I'm trying to do this as safely and healthy as I can due to my health issues.
I have a condition (Don't know how to spell it, it's a French word) that causes me to have bouts of strong migraines. These can last all night and I will wake up with it in the morning. When I was found to have it I was also told I have hyper sensitivity. Between the two of those I can get weak quickly. So I try my hardest to do things safely. Health is important obvious. So I'm staying away from crazy diets (We have a very little amount of food, I can't be picky or eat all greens.) diet pills and eating too little.
I read a great article from WedMD that has helped me a lot with knowing how many calories I should eat, how many I should lose. Being healthy you should eat about 1,050-1,200 calories per day. Last time I used my Cal counter I ate about 1,400 or 1,500. So cutting down shouldn't be too hard. I normally eat a small breakfast skip lunch or have a small snack and a large dinner. I do get bored and eat. That's my main problem so I'm going to try my hardest to avoid that by walking the dog or doing yoga or even walking the cat outside.
When I was at the gym last I lost about 130 cals. That's pretty good. If I keep that up I have to go to the gym around four days a week and I'd lose about 520 cals. That's great! I'm not going to say how many weight I'll lose since my body is strange. Sometimes I can lose weight quickly and sometimes it doesn't. So I can't say what will happen. All I care about is become more healthy so I can feel more comfortable. I have to say making Alice's dress really has pushed me to focus on this goal. Since I will be showing my legs and arms, two areas I feel uncomfortable showing. For Yuuko's outfit as well, losing the weight will help.
Losing weight will take time but I'm confident I can lose enough to feel much more comfortable by Kumori-con. It will take a lot of work but maybe it'll help me get out of my lazy rut. So, if you are trying to lose a lot of weight and want to do so healthy and safely, I'd suggest reading that article and talking to your doctor. Tomorrow I'm starting my new healthy choices. So when I'm bored and feel like munching I'm going to clean my room instead. Truth be told its long over do. My room is a mess!
So good luck on your goals. Nico and I are going to be going to the gym after his work and on his days offs so we can push ourselves to become more health. I'll be needing lots of music and maybe some Doctor Who to watch but I think I can do it. Wish me luck!
