Today, I was at Target trying on swimsuits. I tried on a medium bottom and was so excited because it fit perfectly even though I've gained a few pounds. My self-esteem was at an all-time high until my mom told me I could never fit into a medium. I rechecked the tag. It was an extra large. FML

Today, after losing 20 pounds, I decided to purchase new clothes. All of the clothes at the store were still too small for me. FML

Today, I took the kids to the pool. I'm short and 20lbs overweight but they talked me into it and I put on a swimsuit for the first time in 10 years. As soon as we got there, a girl my height but a good 150lbs heavier said, "It's so nice to see another big girl in a two-piece!" FML

Am I the asshole?

Today, a heavy set lady came to my boutique asking for our "largest" 28in size jeans. I decided to humor her by giving a 52 mislabeled as a 28. It fit perfectly! She happily bought it and left. Later, her mother, who is a Super Karen and twice her size, came to complain about me to the owner for bodyshaming her daughter. FML

Today, when I tried on a pair of pants at the mall, I asked the salesperson if I could have the next size up. She informed me that there wasn't a next size up. I have to LOSE weight to fit into the biggest pair of pants the store makes. FML

Today, my mom and I were looking at dresses for me at the mall. The cashier pointed out a dress, and my mom said, "She's definitely not going to fit into that. She's too flat-chested." FML

Today, I bought my fiancée a dress for her birthday. She accused me of saying she was fat, because I bought it in medium rather than small. After trying on the dress, she's now not only mad at me for buying it, but also because the dress fits perfectly. FML

Today, I was chosen out of 64 women to model for the catalog of a new clothing store. Just when my self-confidence took a dramatic boost, I looked at the evaluation sheet. I was picked due to attributes such as my "extra large figure and average face" to make below average women feel beautiful. FML

Today, I finally got the wedding dress I've been waiting months to see. It turns out that my mom ordered the dress 2 sizes smaller than my size, this way it will be "an incentive to lose weight". FML

Today, I received the beautiful dress I'd ordered on the internet. It's a size smaller than my usual, just to encourage me to lose weight. I managed to fit into it and wear it all day, but I've now been struggling for a couple of hours to remove it without tearing it to bits. FML

Forgetting something?

By Julez - 14/01/2012 16:14 - United States

Today, I was trying on some new pants in the fitting room at a store. I was so overcome with joy when I noticed that I had dropped two pant sizes, that when I took them off and went outside to pay for them, I realized I forgot to put back on my original jeans. FML

The size on the tag doesn't matter as long as the clothes fit well and you feel comfortable with the way you look.

Sometimes two-pieces look a lot better than a one piece. I doubt she was wearing a string bikini, and even if she were, then big deal.

2 piece swimsuits should never EVER come in an XL.....not a lot of people enjoy seeing excess fat hanging out. They made one pieces for a reason:to hide the fat better.

Aww that's okay! Everyone gains a few pounds. I know I did especially around the Christmas holidays. I also then stopped working in retail and worked at spa which gives you no form of movement, b/c I was always sitting on my ass..and my family started noticing and called me "chubs". I joined the gym and lost all that extra weight and fat. But, it's up to you on what you want to do with your body. All I know is I feel a lot better than before and l love working out. Though, there is nothing wrong with being chunky, just as long as your eating right and being healthy.

I love how all the fat people on this site try to back this girl up. SHES FAT!!!! GET OVER IT!!!! People are like "OMG UR NOT FAT" But the honest truth is she is fat. She even mentions she gained a few pounds, and still don't call her fat. **** ALL YOUR ****** UP LIVES. AND BTW, #49, is right, quite a few of the fat girls are bitches, not necessarily this one but still. Like one is always watching TV and shit and she weighs over 340 pounds and shes only 16 and she treats her BF, My friend like shit, not to mention she drinks and smokes and shit. so if i have problems against fat people don't blame me. blame bad fat people.

#10 (sexxiness2121): I know your comment was supposed to be helpful, but honestly, I don't like how it was delivered. "I'm not the best person to give advice because I'm so thin without even trying *rub it in your face* and the fact that I gained weight makes me so happy even though you'd like to lose some, but you can still do it!" Honestly?

#77 She smokes and drinks and shit? Shit, I'm a bitch, too, since I shit. But seriously, that's stereotyping. Bitchiness, last I check, doesn't depends on your weight or color or social status or whether you shit or not, does it?

77, you'll always be blamed for judging an entire group of people. It's not anyone elses fault, just your own. Funny you say that, because most fat people I know are actually quite nice. Am I saying all fat people are nice? No. I judge people as individuals. That's like me saying all skinny people are anorexic idiots that think they're better then anyone who has a slightly wider build then they; I know nice people who are skinny too.
