Today, my mum was saying she needs to gain weight because she was underweight according to her doctor. She then said she's going to eat like me in order to gain more weight. FML

Today, while at my mom’s house, my mom told me that I need to seriously curb my food intake. Then I went to my dad’s house and he told me I need to gain weight. I can’t win here. FML

Today, my mom asked me if I had an eating problem because I've been eating less. I only started eating less because she told me I ate too much. FML

Today, I found out my mom intentionally puts extra butter and oil in the food she cooks for me because she wants me to be fatter than her. FML

Today, I had a doctor's appointment because I've recently lost weight. I'm already underweight, and I was concerned because the weight loss has been causing some other health concerns to worsen. My doctor's exact words of advice? "Eating food usually leads to weight gain." FML

Today, I had to sit through yet another one of my mom's, "You need to grow and gain some weight!" rants. I'm 22 and she doesn't believe me when I tell her I'm done growing. I'm pretty sure I'm not getting past 5'2". FML

Today, I asked my mom if she could include mashed potatoes and gravy with dinner. She then went on to yell at me about my "unhealthy eating habits" and how I've "gained a lot of weight in the past few months". I'm pregnant. FML

Eat Y'self Fitter

Today, my patient, a chubby little girl, stood on a scale to measure her weight. She was 5 years-old and weighed 65 lbs. I started giving her advice on eating healthy: fruits, vegetables, and more greens. She turned to her mother with shocked look and said, "But mommy, the doctor is fat too!" FML

Today, my parents yelled at me for ordering too much fast food. The only reason I’m doing it is because there isn’t any food in the house. Not only that but I’m also trying to gain weight. FML

ever occur to you that she bought them for you? ******* idiot, don't jump to conclusions. this is neither a FYL or a YDI. this is just some idiot being paranoid. if you came home and saw a 360 or a PS3 you'd be like "holy shit my girlfriend's awesome," not "OMFG there's a 360 and/or PS3 here and I don't own one so my gf's a cheating *****!" so stfu and be goddamn happy with your Levi's you stupid ****.

Well OP, on the bright side, at least she said that she wanted to like you. She could've said she wanted to, like, eat you in order to gain more weight.

How about F your moms life. If her doctor actually mentioned that she should gain she's more than just slightly underweight. I wish her luck in gaining.

At your moms age her metabolism isn't as fast as yours so it'd be almost a compliment.

to hell with all the "high metabolism" stuff. eating anything the size of a person would lead to weight gain. eating a bag of celery the size of a toddler would still lead to adding a pound or two, if not a ruptured stomach and death.
