Today, it started raining unexpectedly. My daughter and I didn't have an umbrella, so my daughter raised one of my big flabby arms and put it over her head to protect her from the rain. It worked. FML
I agree, your life sucks (16588) - you totally deserved it (25867)

Funny because wouldn't the arm be too small unless she was beyond morbidly obese? It's more funny than realistic.

YDI = You deserve it.
And seriously, people can judge but they don't know what you do in your everyday life.
So yea.

Being fat or skinny has nothing to do with intelligence.
OP: I'm sorry... exercise?

If someone lets themself get really overweight in the first place they cant be too smart to begin with.

I eat and I eat but I don't get any thinner! Whyyyyyyyyy?
#29 - On 07/13/2009 at 12:40pm by ElMundio87
um...dumbest statement ever? yeah pretty much. i'm wicked skinny and i eat so much but i only lose weight and i'm not dumb......
#39 - On 07/13/2009 at 1:44pm by live_my_life245
Oh, I see your logic. Fat people are better and smarter because they lack the self control to moderate their eating habits even though it is a well known fact that obesity is one of the largest preventable causes of death in the world.
...Oh wait, maybe I don't understand. Perhaps that's because you're talking out of your ass and need to get bent.
your a dip sh*t. how the hell are fat people better? i have no sympathy for people who are just fat becuase they dont know how to run. f*ck fat people, everyone has something they can be active with. me, i longboard to work everyday and snowboard in the winter. come on now, there are other ways to entertain yourself besides WoW

sometimes fat runs in people's genes, you realize that? and sometimes your metabolism just slows down. and then your weight doesnt burn off.
#91 - On 07/14/2009 at 10:56pm by foryoublue94
that might be a sign to start eating healthy and exercising more...
#4 - On 07/13/2009 at 11:35am by coffee_addict
What do you mean there is no fyl? The OP is so incredibly, morbidly, disgustingly OBESE that her arm can act as an umbrella. If her life isnt an fml, than what is?
Ugh, READ, he said there's no bright side to the FML, not that there wasn't an FML.
#56 - On 07/13/2009 at 2:57pm by Shlizabeth
You included. Read the entirety of what you're replying to.
#80 - On 07/14/2009 at 12:48am by Escapist28
I mean the kid could've been small and the flab an O.K. size. So the daughter wasn't completely covered but kept most of the rain off. Looks like it's time for some excersize OP :P
LMAO, that's hilarious.
FYL for being so fat, YDI for letting yourself get that fat. Unless you have a suuuuper low metabolism.
#9 - On 07/13/2009 at 11:39am by shaBAMalex
I don't think so, I eat tonnes of crap, hardly exercise and haven't an ounce of fat on me. Disprove that :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
#31 - On 07/13/2009 at 12:45pm by ElMundio87
incorrect. oftentimes people gain weight because of hypoactive thyroid, and the thyroid controls - guess what?! - METABOLISM!!
#49 - On 07/13/2009 at 2:06pm by diet_otaku
ya i have a fast metabolism and i eat nothing but fast food, i'm 6'2 and way 170. metabolisms make a difference idiot
#86 - On 07/14/2009 at 3:29am by LtDelicious
OFTENTIMES? really? wow. whered you get that from exactly? unless by often times you mean rarely. in which case yes youre right, good for you.
#87 - On 07/14/2009 at 5:24am by organisedchaos
Kids do silly things. I put my own arm above my head when it rains and it does a decent job, and I'm no where near fat (5'3" and 110lbs) And kids are a lot smaller, so even if you're a little bit big, it doesnt mean much of anything. Eat better or excercise more. Or both. Both is the best plan.
#11 - On 07/13/2009 at 11:43am by boatkicker
Good for you for not freaking out about it. It would seem to me that you are comfportable with yourself! I am 5'6" and 147 and my 9 year old daughter thinks I'm fat...All a matter of opinion.
or even better! your could learn to spell EXERCISE you stupid fuck!
#22 - On 07/13/2009 at 12:19pm by mrloferski
or even the best: they could learn how to spell and you could learn how not to insult people you don't know!
OP: unless you got the (rather rare) thyroid problems, time to put those legs for a run and that stomach on healthy food! Good luck and stay away from diets! :)
well on the bright side you don't need to lug an umbrella around anymore!:)
#17 - On 07/13/2009 at 12:09pm by Nodaddygirl59
Shes her daughter and she has THAT much arm flab? u cant have that much unless ur very old n fat, or once very fat and lost weight..being currently fat doesnt mean u have extreme amounts of excess skin ! XD
fyl? no fHl for being that fat. nothing against fat peple but if your flabby arms protect you from the rain...issue...

SQUISHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#36 - On 07/13/2009 at 1:07pm by newbieattech
why the fuck did they change it from your life is f***ed to your life sucks?? AND INTIMACY INSTEAD OF SEX?!?!!?!? WHAT THE FUCK1?!?!?!??!!?!?!?!
IK. and they changed the 'slogan' thing from, "my life sucks but i don't give a fuck" (or something like that) to, "get the guts to spill the beans"
to OP: sucks for you.. but who's fault is it that you have a flabby arm?
#43 - On 07/13/2009 at 1:53pm by lynnesey
I noticed that too. It's dumb.
Maybe this website was considered too profane?
#47 - On 07/13/2009 at 2:02pm by klutzywriter
i actually emailed the staff about that, they said "intimacy" was more accurate for the kinds of stories in that category (since they're not all specifically sex-related), and they just got tired of seeing "fuck" everywhere. in which case maybe you shouldn't start a website called "FUCK my life," then.
#50 - On 07/13/2009 at 2:08pm by diet_otaku
win.
Personally, I hated the old slogan. "my life sucks but i don't give a fuck?" It was lame.
#58 - On 07/13/2009 at 3:06pm by lynnesey
lol just pointing out that the OP is from korea. in asia, standards of being skinny vary extensively from western perspectives... that being said, there's a good chance she could just be exaggerating.
regardless, OP if you think you'll feel better after losing some weight, go for it. exercise = healthy + boosts self confidence :)
I was about to point that out, I was thinking the same thing the whole time. My friend living in Japan is 5'4 and 120. She thinks she is over weight, and needs to diet.
if the OP has arms fat enough to cover her daughter then shes overweight by any standards
#75 - On 07/13/2009 at 9:12pm by lilevil93
she doesn't need to be fat
when some people get old their arms get all flabby
she's probably just exaggerating or her daughter was making fun of her
#46 - On 07/13/2009 at 2:00pm by klutzywriter
Her daughter could be very small, like a two year old. She didn't specify the age
#63 - On 07/13/2009 at 3:54pm by fangsupKELS
You prove a good point. I was imagining a girl who was maybe around ten years of age. She could have been smaller.
#65 - On 07/13/2009 at 4:47pm by SiLveRStaRLIGHT
I can't believe some of the comments on here. You automatically assume that because someone's big that they're lazy and just stuff their face because they lack self control. For one thing, their metabolism could just be a lot slower. Also, they could have a condition that causes them to eat more, or just get bigger. There is no need to make ignorant, cruel statements when you don't know the person.
#64 - On 07/13/2009 at 4:04pm by braveasanoun
62 is so smart!! I was born with a diease that made me over weight.I work my ass off at the gym.I'm still chubby but not nearly as bad as it was and could be.
so shut up. don't be mean if udont know
As others said, there are myriad conditions that can affect weight gain. Diseases, long-term injuries requiring wheelchairs, medicine, and a number of psychological disorders. Don't be a dick and assume someone is overweight by choice or lack of personal care.
#68 - On 07/13/2009 at 5:42pm by bipolaradhdfml
just the word flabby sounds gross... lose some weight before you die women... do you want to catch a heartache or some other health problems do it for your daughter... im not trying to sound like an ass but trust me lose some weight try sign up to a good gym they got alot of fun classes that doesnt even seem like work outs... meet some friends at the gym too who is trying to lose weight or friends you already have it will make it more easier for you if you have someone that supports you and you can support them go for it!
#69 - On 07/13/2009 at 6:05pm by ithedarkknight
I don't believe this FML is true. For one thing it just doesn't sound realistic at all, and for another thing, look at the OP's nickname and location. I'd be more inclined to believe it's someone making fun of obese America.
#70 - On 07/13/2009 at 6:38pm by intotheblue
You don't think there's obese people in other countries?
I'm from Indonesia and amongst the millions of super skinny people, I've seen my share of obese people (and children!) that would fit the American standard of what obese is. And from what I have seen, Indonesian people generally tend to be skinnier than Koreans, so it's very possible that this Korean woman is obese enough for her arm to act as an umbrella.
#78 - On 07/13/2009 at 11:02pm by missphantasm
I wonder why your daughter has an eating disorder with such a fantastic parent like you?
#72 - On 07/13/2009 at 7:33pm by parasiemprejeff
That sounds literally impossible. But if it's true then waita go. You can protect your daughter in one more way then most men :)
#83 - On 07/14/2009 at 2:55am by RunZoneFive
You commenters are ridiculous. Her daughter is probably like 5. And the mom's arm probably didn't COMPLETELY cover her from the rain... it may have been just enough to keep it off her face.
Why the fuck do you just assume she is korean? she could by an american relocated to korea because of a job. she's probably a fat ass american living in korea
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAHAHAHAAAA!!!! wow. dats pretty bad. lol. im sorry, but i read dat nd busted out laughin! Lol! =)
#95 - On 07/14/2009 at 11:53pm by i_heart_yew
I don't think you should be upset about it, at least you were able to provide for her like a mother should...even if it is sheltering her from the rain with your "flab." There's nothing wrong with having weight - that's the trouble with society today, the stereotyping is ridiculous. You can be happy, healthly, and big. ...I say you go girl and don't listen to these douche bags
#97 - On 07/15/2009 at 2:49pm by sedate_me725
f u #7 fat has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with intelligence!! I geuss u must be fat... oh well lose sum weight buddy
#98 - On 07/22/2009 at 3:56pm by ObamaKitttyy
true you can be happy and big, but if your not happy it's time to loose some weight. don't eat fast food, try to skip meals (except for breakfest) take the stairs instead of elevator. the biggest thing is fast food, it is SOOO bad for you. just expend more energie than you take in and you will be skinny in no time :)
#101 - On 11/09/2009 at 12:00pm by LaughAtLaugh
Don't skip meals, just eat less. Eat healthy and at regular intervals, if you start skipping meals altogether your body will enter survival mode because it will think that there isn't much food so it will burn through the food in your body slower. If you eat at regular intervals you keep your metabolism active. And besides eating healthy, exercise is key!
