Stress seems to follow me around like a dog, and I can't seem to unwind one bit! Any relaxation tips from Akane?

Well at least ya know yer doing something right. Stress is something everyone experiences. So don’t sweat it!

If you want to relax do what I always do. Eat! Comfort foods are a very good way of bringing down stress levels. So help yourself to some of that chocolate cake!

But please don’t go overboard! Waking up with a stomach ache because you ate too many slices of apple pie isn’t something I would recommend.

Also another great way to reduce stress is to do exercise. Going out for a walk or doing some yoga are some great ways to clear your head.

Maybe eventually you could do some gymnastics! But anyways just take some time out of your schedule and just enjoy yourself. You’ll start feeling better in no time. Remember everything will turn out OK!

I had a rough day. Could i get some motivation to write from our adorable fukawa?

I’m sorry to hear that you had a bad day, but you shouldn’t let that get you down. Tomorrow is a new day, and you should greet it with the brightest of smiles.

Whenever I have a bad day I grab my pen and notebook and start to write. I completely forget about my day once I start writing. Immerse yourself in the world of fantasy! More often than not I’m more comfortable in my romance stories than I am in the real world.

Once you’re pen touches your paper or your fingers hit the keyboard just let the words flow. Your thoughts should now manifest into a glorious story.

And please don’t get discouraged if your writing doesn’t turn out the way you want it to. Writing things like Shakespeare take time and practice.

Also never let anybody insult your work! It’s ok if it’s constructive criticism, but never let anybody tell you that you’re work is horrible, because it’s not! And if they do -achoo-

Tell’em they’ll have to take up any complaints with me!

15. No worry over weight limits. Clearly I'm not 2,500 pounds, nor do I make a dent in that number...but when it comes to elevators, you can make quite the dent when you're heavy if the elevator happens to be old and rickety, or a bunch of people ignore the fact there is a weight limit and just crowd in with their over-packed bags. Elevators aren't my only scare. I worry about things from beds to exercise equipment, chairs and even amusement park rides. I'm tired of worrying about checking for weight limits, and being afraid that my weight is all that's needed to cause something to collapse.

14. Have a larger variety of clothing to choose from. My current size (at least, before I started losing weight) is one of the hardest plus sizes to find, despite it being one of the larger sizes found in stores. I find every size in the stuff I want but my own, including just a size smaller! It's frustrating walking into a store, and not just being able to not find your size, but liking all of the stuff available in smaller sizes. After I got older, I realized I didn't mind being plus size, but I do mind being unhappy that stuff I'd rather have is not in the plus size section.

13. Be someone's inspiration. Maybe it's strange to be driven by the simple fact I want to inspire someone, but I am. I want to be someone's inspiration, motivation, role model. I want to show people that have always had the same hard times as me that they can do it too. I've always thought that if I were successful, anyone could be. I like the idea that maybe my success will drive someone else toward their own.

12. Cosplay with confidence. [x] Do not, in any way, let me discourage someone from cosplaying. It's for people of all shapes and sizes. However, me personally? I won't cosplay with the weight I am. I'd love to dress up and go to conventions, but not until I'm more comfortable. One of my dream cosplays with be KOS-MOS, and no way I could be her right now!

10. Always be self-confident. Sure, sometimes I'm a very confident person, no matter what I look like. Despite my weight, sometimes I feel gorgeous. However, this does fade from time to time, always because of my weight. I'm tired of going through that.
