So tina got in town today and since we have this really hot, secretive date with my husband tomorrow night, we were told to have some nice clothes.

No, it's an attempt at *truth in advertising.* And it's a truth, virtually everyone knows, that sizes are cut bigger in recent years in order to push product on those ever-expanding waistlines. It keeps people buying. And Lane Bryant has ALWAYS sold clothes cut large for the size.

So tell me, why do you feel it appropriate to pee on my parade?

This post gives me a "delusional-not-by-choice" image of....

a red-faced with rage,

fat woman

drip drip dripping hate-filled sweat beads

into a tangled blonde moustache,

totally naked because she can't go

slip slip slipping into Lane Bryant clothes

green-eyed with envy

slurp slurp slurping a double quarter pounder

glistening with grease

as she goes tap tap tapping away at her computer

all alone

under one solitary, unshaded light bulb

with bottles of dieuretics

lined up along the computer desk

waiting for her equally gargantuan husband

to come tap tap tapping home

from his job as a semi-truck driver

whose rig sports the ever-so-popular

"I hate fat chicks" bumper sticker

placed above and directly between two

shapely, silhouetted cartoon women

posing seductively on the mud flaps.

Not a pretty sight!!!

Please, Please, Please make it go away!!!!

I'm sorry.

The prozac just "doesn't do it for me anymore."

Well fret not. Since you indicated (in another thread, this board http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-fb100plus&msg=113844.1&ctx=0 and http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-fb100plus&msg=113843.3 ) that you've been unable to stick to a diet, that the last time you dared step foot on a scale months ago it read 265 lbs, it's REALLY understandable how you'd find this image in your mirror daily.

Hey Shawna-

I showed your webpage to my husband and he was SOOOOO impressed with you! He wrote down your site to give to a woman he works with who has been struggling with her weight too. SHE was so impressed that she printed the page and put it on her fridge and on her mirror so she can be reminded that it IS possible!

I just thought you should know you're really a boost for a lot of people!

Now that's not nice, kittycat. Well cat you don't get to pick and choose who posts on this public board and ivillage welcomes everyone. So put those claws back in and play nice.

"Go away you unsupportive thingy you. This board is to help and support and encourage posters - not to be nasty.

You are not welcome here if you continue to post so offensively.

Does it make you feel good to look down on others? Does it make you feel like your flaws are less noticeable and somehow more acceptable? Do you feel smug and supperior when you press the post button?

Perhaps you ought to know the story that is behind the name you use.........

"Weihnachtsmann - Germany's «Weihnachtsmann» is a thin, stopped, heavily laden, white-beardedd old man who makes his rounds on Christmas Eve with his sack of presents and a Christmas tree. He is a secularized version of Saint Nicholas, who is still associated with December 6."

He is considered kind, caring, and generous in thought and deed. Boy, that doesn't sound like you at all does it?

But he is an old stooped man who may be getting a wee bit senile and grumpy in his old age - now that does sound more like you huh? Are you identifying with the darker side of Christmasman? Are you feeling old and bitter? Perhaps you should suck on a candycane and sweeten your words a wee bit?
