[QUOTE]Oh Jesus Christ.  This place is just ridiculous.  I can't even begin to address all the nonsense in this thread.  Amethyst, I get that you don't like used clothes.  You had better get on your knees and ask God to never put you in a situation where the only thing keeping you from leaving your house naked is the charity of others.  Seriously, "I like new clothes" is one of the most pretentious things I've ever seen you say, and that's saying a lot. As for i2012do, thank the baby Jesus in the manger that you are here to tell us all how to sing kumbaya and get along.  For the record, my mom has asked me several times if I'm going to lose weight for the wedding, including when I tried on my gown, but I bet you wouldn't let me play in your sandbox.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: **DJ** : I didn't have a dress in my size to try on! Woot! I win! Oh, plus I have stretch marks, a gut and I'm tall. I was a 16 on my wedding day (I'm a 12/14 now, do I still get to play?). I think saying that your trials and tribulations of finding a wedding dress or hearing about losing weight before the wedding are harder b/c you're plus sized is rude to others who probably also had the same issue. I have a friend who just got married who is 5'2, 110 and has ENORMOUS boobs. She got the "How much weight are you losing before the wedding?!" questions too. AND she didn't have any dresses in her size. Her waist is a 2, her boobs required a 14. ALTERATIONS! Saying your life is harder b/c you're plus sized is kinda rude to others. And this is coming from a (FORMER! WOOT!) plus sized girl.

 congrats on losing the weight!  That is great news.

Do they give out mod awards? I think DJ should get something. A medal or trophy maybe.

I agree that some of us don't know what it is like to not be able to try on a dress. FIne. But I would argue that all of us can relate (which I think is what Anna was saying) to wanting to look our best on our wedding day and having to deal with our problem areas.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: **DJ** : No, they did not have dresses to try on in my size. I went to the store, tried on samples not in my size that got clamped to make them look somewhat normal, ordered what I thought was my size blindly, and then had the dress altered to fit.

Posted by annakb8[/QUOTE]

Want some irony? My dress was a size 18. They had a sample, in my size, for me to try on.  It fit perfectly. I ordered said dress, in the same size, and needed no alterations.

Guess I'm not allowed on the PS board, because my life didn't suck because I was overweight.

I have been here since the beginning although I lurked more than I posted. I think overall this board is saner than you'd think and has some very useful information and a supportive community. 

The problem is that from day one there was a group that tried to become instant bffs and tried way too hard to have the type of close community that comes with time. 

Honestly, this thread <-(clicky) is what finally made me dislike Amethyst. This is not the first time that she has tried to link someone's post count to the validity of what they have to say. And sticking up for Rtzrill when she was being really snotty just illustrates the hive mentality that some people have around here. I spent so long mentally composing a response that I never got around to posting one. I really regret that. 

I realize that posters came in from others boards more for their own amusement than anything else. But they did have a point that a lot of the posters here seem more interested in placating the board "cool kids" than recognizing that there are some issues here. 

Edit: Crap, Rtzrill's post was deleted but you can see it in a quote.

I REALLY hate when overweight women say "it doesn't mean I wish I was thinner."  And then go and bitch about being overweight and how no one could possibly understand how hard it is and the struggles you have to go through.

I agree with this, I like this board but it does seem to have a hive mentality, and DJ has done a great job here, however if I wouldn't blame her if she decided not to stick around.

 YOu said you aren't a fan of their clothing and that yo're a snob.  Calling yourself a snob infers you find yourself to be "too good" for Goodwill clothing.
Amethyst, I really used to like you, but just by lurking, I have found that you have turned into a pretentious know-it-all who wants to feel important on this board.  From the beginnings of this board, you defended it, rallied it, and posted on it.  I get it.  You WANT to be the mod, or at least co-mod and you're pissed that you aren't on this pedestal of greatness on the PS board.  But stop trying to stage a revolution.  This isn't 1770s France.  DJ is a good person and a good mod.

Yeah, I am on WW trying to lose weight and believe me i'll be shouting from the rooftops when I can say "Former plus size".

Obviously LDY shouldn't celebrate her accomplishments if it makes other people feel like crap.  Gawd, LDY.

Just because someone is thin does not mean they are immune to wedding-related troubles. Just because someone is plus-size does not mean they automatically have more wedding-related (and fashion in particular) troubles.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: **DJ** : She was found in a dumpster as a baby in Dundalk (I see you're local). The woman who found her was going to keep her but Rumbles tormented the woman's older cats so much that she had to give her up for adoption. She seems to have an affinity for the trash still though. This is what happened one night after I floured some chicken and threw the excess away.

Adorable!! My cat looked terrible when they pulled her out of the dumpster:

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: **DJ** : <strong>by saying this, you make it seem like its a huge accomplishment that you dont have to be "plus size" anymore.</strong> if you were losing weight for health reasons than good for you but it doesnt mean we all wish we were thinner.... I know I have said this liek 3 times but being a size 28 is not like being a 16 and you can try on dresses. It is much more difficult. That doesnt make someone better or more awesome for being heavier or thinner- it is just a fact. because, as i have said a million times, ive been on both sides my life was JUST as complicated when i was thinner, i had the same drama, the same issues- but NOW i have the issues of not being able to go into every single store in the mall becuse they don't carry my size- i have to go to speciality stores- so i dont have the same flexibilty. so that is a NEW issue in my life.

</div><div>Losing nearly 20 lbs (I went between 215-219 FOREVER and I'm down to 198) IS a huge accomplishment, and YES, I'm happy I've lost the weight for my health and well being - PART Of that is no longer being considered "plus sized" - which isn't a negative, it's a fact. I wouldn't care if I was still plus size and I'd lost 20 lbs, either way, it's fucking awesome and I'll thank you not to belittle my accomplishment.</div><div>
