So I've been trying to do Guts from Berserk for Otakon, but I've come across two problems so far. The first one is that I found someone who was willing to make me the sword. The website is here. The last email I got from him was in early December and he said that he would be able to do it after the holidays. Since then, his mailbox has been full and I can't get a hold of him... go figure. I imagine I'll be able to get a hold of him by August, but that leads to my next problem.
Its no secret that I'm overweight. And I know that no one is judging me over it or anything like that. However, I don't feel comfortable cosplaying as someone like Guts without being in some facet of not fat. So, I've been working out almost everyday (normally 3 or 4 times a week) and my average calorie intake in one day is around 1200. (I drink nothing but water, I eat one or two small prepackaged servings of Cherios and then have something for dinner; and if I get hungry at night I eat reduced fat peanut butter and celery.) And I've been doing this for a month now, and I haven't lost one pound. On top of that, I can feel my body starting to wear down from it. Tomorrow, I'm going to call Dick's to see if they got any 16oz boxing gloves in yet and if not I'm going to order a pair off sears.com. (I've been trying to pick up a pair for a couple weeks.) So I'll really pick up my boxing regiment and when it starts to get warmer... regardless of how much I don't like it... start walking/jogging/running. Honestly, at this point I'm hoping that I haven't inherited my mom's thyroid problem.
