Today, my 7 year old looks at me and states, "When I grow up Mommy I want to be fat just like you." FML
I agree, your life sucks (15295) - you totally deserved it (6458)
On 12/31/2009 at 2:39am - kids - by Missyangel (woman) - United States (Florida)
(+1)So. Your kid likes your hugs. And sees you as a rolemodel. That is not an FML, unless you never before realized you're fat, in wich case you're probably not too smart.

(+1)If you are bigger, maybe take this comment as a sign that it may be time to lose the weight. Since she does look up to you as a role model, she might consider being heavier the good thing to do...which is unhealthy. This was discussed this past season on The Biggest Loser and this man's daughter wanting to have a big belly like her daddy was what inspired him to lose the weight. He ended up winning...so it looks like it all panned out!

(0)hahahahahahaha... He's not gunna get fat in a household where Mum eats all the food.. Trust me.. She'll have him/her running around, doing chores, answering the phone..... etc.

(-1)At least your kid isn't making fun of you and if you are fat you can always work out to lose some extra pounds.
(0)Over the holidays, my little cousin declared "I want to be big and fat just like my grandma!" OP, I'm really sorry that you are so insecure that you can't laugh at a child's mishap.
#6 - On 12/31/2009 at 6:30am by YayAmerica
(-1)Dude like, so what? You're a role model to her, rather than her seeing an anorexic chick as a role model... But if you are fat, you should shed those few pounds...
#7 - On 12/31/2009 at 6:47am by sharon_ellj
(-1)Not every skinny person is anorexic. Don't be jealous.
#60 - On 12/31/2009 at 2:56pm by asiancreampuff
Well maybe you should eat better and be an example for her so she at least knows that its not okay to strive for health issues
#8 - On 12/31/2009 at 6:50am by Applepineapple31
(0)YDI for being fat. Your child's statement only proves fat people should not be allowed to raise kids. No wonder North Americans only get fatter and fatter. Thanks a lot OP for making my taxes go up to pay the medical bills. FML
(-2)what do you think chanches are that your 7-year old won't change his/hers oppinion as she/he grows up. The only FML is that your child cald you fat, but don't you think you knew it allready? now you have a great motivation to loose weight!
(-1)Then it would be "Americans is fat", and unless your name is George W Bush, that sort of grammar isn't acceptable.
It should be "Americans are fat" or "America is fat".
#31 - On 12/31/2009 at 10:38am by myfriend_youfail
(-1)i love love love how everyone gets it wrong =) wow... might as well say "america's are for to being very much fatful" =) (sorry =) thought i'd add in some south african humor talk there...not funny? no? ok...) go number 31!!!! =)
#38 - On 12/31/2009 at 11:49am by Spac3Ghost
(0)maybe the only reason she's fat is coz she's too busy working and looking after kids, so she doesn't have time to work out.
gosh don't cut to conclusions about the OP being a lazy slob.
#14 - On 12/31/2009 at 8:07am by KatieGoesRawrr
(0)Yeah, but not too busy to feed her fat face. Why do fat people make so many excuses to forgive themselves for being fat? I would love to hear a fatass just once say, " yeah, ya know what? I'm fat because I eat like a friggen pig, and I'm too damn lazy to work out. I know it's gross, maybe someday I'll do something about it." Then I at least could appreciate the honesty, and I would respect the person for that.
#42 - On 12/31/2009 at 12:34pm by girlygirl666
(+2)Ooh, I pissed off the fat girls....hahaha
Yeah, I read them. The percentage of people with these medical conditions is so minute compared to the percentage of fat people. If so many fat people didn't over-use these escuses, people like me wouldn't be so tired of hearing them.
Btw- I'd happily compare IQ's you.
#50 - On 12/31/2009 at 1:49pm by girlygirl666
(0)Edit-the rest of my comment was left out... It was " I'd be happy to compare IQ's with you Fatass...."
#51 - On 12/31/2009 at 1:55pm by girlygirl666
(-1)Nice going, oh mindless and drooling one!
I'm not fat, nice try. My weight is on the lower side of average for my height and level of physical activity. By the way, assuming someone is fat because they're tearing down your poorly-reasoned, hate-based argument is just idiotic.
Get a life, invest in a brain and a bit of maturity, and come back here after your mommy changes your diaper. Okay there, little mewling infant?
#55 - On 12/31/2009 at 2:29pm by myfriend_youfail
(0)If by lower than average... (the average American that doesn't walk).. you're still pretty fat then. hahahaha.
64% of Americans are obese. Yeah, don't even try to spew out some pseudo-intellectual reply justifying this or defending your hurt ego because I said you're probably fat. There is no way in hell that the majority of these people have real reasons to be fat.
"Medical problems. Metabolic disorders, such as low thyroid function or hormonal imbalances, account only for fewer than 2 percent of all cases of obesity."

(0)why do you have so much of a problem with fat people? it's ridiculous.
#65 - On 12/31/2009 at 3:17pm by repyourcliche
(-1)Lower than average means "towards the underweight side of the BMI chart".
Higher than average means "towards the overweight side of the BMI chart".
Reading comprehension, darling. Work on it.
I'm 5'4" and 115 pounds. That is within a healthy BMI range, towards the lower end of the scale. Meaning that while my weight is average for my height, it is not exactly in the middle of that average area.
Durrrrrrrrr.
#69 - On 12/31/2009 at 4:12pm by myfriend_youfail
(0)@69 you never once mentioned BMI in your rant. youre essentially bitching because the person jumped to a different conclusion than the one you expected them to. might wanna try actually giving all the information rather than whinge when they dont understand your stupidity.
#82 - On 12/31/2009 at 10:59pm by organisedchaos
(+2)I can't wait for a 7 year old girl to say "Mommy, when I grow up, I want to be a hormonal bitch who sleeps with different men each night, just like you!"
#17 - On 12/31/2009 at 8:18am by Person1233
(+1)I think your kid meant that you are not fat, and that he wants to be not fat, just like you.
#16 - On 12/31/2009 at 8:15am by TheRedOneBTV
(+1)when i was little, i told my parents i wanted to be a "restaurant girl" and work at mcdonald's. mcdonald's was my first job when i was sixteen...what a terrible job that was.
#30 - On 12/31/2009 at 10:33am by asafetybuzz
(0)I was just like that, except when I was little I wanted to be Restaurant Girl at a Pizza Hut.
#33 - On 12/31/2009 at 10:43am by bubblygal18
(+2)I wanted to be a butterfly but I hear the pay isn't that good.
#41 - On 12/31/2009 at 12:31pm by ZombieKnickers
(+1)its true, but at least you get to wear that bitchin uniform as a butterfly.
#45 - On 12/31/2009 at 1:08pm by Youwantwhatnow
(0)yur kid is so sweet =) at least he wants to be lke you so you wont be the only one =) oh wait.... you have the other 99% of americans... hahahahahahahahahaha aaaaaaaaah waka waka waka waka hehe hoho!!! ok im done... sorry =)
#21 - On 12/31/2009 at 9:42am by Spac3Ghost
(-2)Your a bad rolemodel for your children. I hope this changes the way you look at yourself more seriously and how your behaviour and you appearance affect your kids. After all your child loves you and thinks your perfect. So it´s not a shock that maybe he/she wants to be just like you even in bad qualities.
(-2)YDI. Because fat always = YDI. I don't want to hear any of this "glandular" or "genetic" crap that sensitive fatties have been hiding behind forever. Fat = Calories = Food. And there is not a medical disorder that makes you go to Golden Corral and eat one third your weight in fried chicken and double chocolate brownies.
(+1)There are some diseases that cause weight gain in a sustainable amount that can not be shed. Thyroid problems lead to excessive weight gain and no matter how fit one is, and health a diet they will still be larger people.
My friend has a thyroid problem, and takes medication. She rearly eats red meats, mostly greens. She walks and goes to the gym but is still very large.
You can not say she has done it herself. You don't know enough, ass.
(+1)What #28 said. Also, some medications can cause weight gain that is completely unrelated to diet and exercise. My best friend is on anti-depressants and until her doctor figured out the right dose, she ballooned up to almost 200 pounds over the course of a few years (which is a lot for a person only 5'3" tall). She was eating a relatively healthy diet, and she still gained all that weight. Her doctor found the right dosage, et viola! She dropped down to 130 pounds in relatively short order.
Food-based weight gain, yes, is inexcusable. Because unless your brain is miswired, you can control what and how often you eat.
But other types of weight gain are often far more complicated than is let on about. Thyroid disorders, changes in medication, diabetes...there are a lot of things that can make a person tubby without them eating more than you or I would eat.
#34 - On 12/31/2009 at 10:44am by myfriend_youfail
(+1)No. I'm of an average weight for my height and level of physical activity.
#43 - On 12/31/2009 at 12:36pm by myfriend_youfail
(+1)Not particularly in respect to the rest of my country. Can't said that I am a skinny skinny bitch, but I don't have a front butt.
(-1)I love how you state, again, "No. I'm of an average weight for my height and level of physical activity."
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA.
So if you're 6'5" & your level of physical activity is NIL, then your average weight is... FAT.
ps. Like I posted before:
"Metabolic disorders, such as low thyroid function or hormonal imbalances, account only for fewer than 2 percent of all cases of obesity."
So yeah, with this in mind, it's a 98% chance that the OP is fat because she's lazy.
I'd take that chance and tell the op SDI.
#63 - On 12/31/2009 at 3:12pm by asiancreampuff
(0)I was stating that my BMI number is within the healthy range, also factoring in physical activity (which most BMI calculations do not). If you can't understand that, then I suggest you make friends with google.
#68 - On 12/31/2009 at 4:09pm by myfriend_youfail
(0)yeah i gained weight from medication that i actually didn't even need to be on, but i lost all that weight. but i was eating healthy and exercise and i kept gaining weight and it sucked. people made fun of me all the time for it, but now i lost the weight and they aren't laughing anymore. :)
i never make fun of overweight or obese people, because you never know their whole story unless you personally know them. but i also have no sympathy for people who eat so much that they get huge, because they did that to themselves. but they are people who deserve to be treated as such, which many other people seem to forget.

(-1) imajinethat (#13) has the best profile picture ever.
Oh, and YDI
#26 - On 12/31/2009 at 9:58am by boopityboppity
(+1)Being fat isn't some horrible character flaw, nor is it a sign that someone is lazy, eats poorly, or doesn't exercise. It's just one aspect of some people. If we can accept that some people are naturally thin then why is it so difficult to accept that others are naturally fat?
Being called fat isn't a sign that you should do anything about your weight - especially not by a 7 year old who clearly loves his/her mother the way she is.
(-1)who the fuck cares? i hate these fat fmls.. if you dont want to be fat do something about it.. and your kids looking up to you.. he didnt mean to insult you!
(-1)Stop complaining; get off of your lazy ass; go to the gym. Your seven year old shouldn't have to tell you you're fat unless you're in extreme denial. YDI.
#40 - On 12/31/2009 at 12:30pm by peaceeeapppp
(+1)girlygirl666 you are seriously the most ignorant person I have ever seen post on FML. Not all fat people are fat because the 'Eat like a friggin pig' some people are fat because of REAL medical issues. Also did you know that what you eat while pregnant can affect the childs metabolism later in life? Seriously you sound so naive saying that fat people are ONLY fat because they stuff their faces. Next time think before you open your mouth.
(-1)I did think before I opened my mouth. If more people did that, there wouldn't be so many fat people. Calm down...here... * hands fat girl a big mac*
#53 - On 12/31/2009 at 2:07pm by girlygirl666
(+1)So....anyone who argues with you or doesn't share your opinion is fat?
Damn good God, what are they teaching in schools these days? Obviously not logic!
#56 - On 12/31/2009 at 2:35pm by myfriend_youfail
(0)That's true. I never had ONE class in logic when I was in school. I had "critical thinking" when I got to college, but even that was elective.
(+2)I have never clicked on the FML comments before, but honestly now I'm surprised. Some of you are the most cruel and judgmental people I have ever seen. #24? #36? You know nothing about this woman and whether or not she has a medical condition. And even if she doesn't, why the hell do you care if she's fat? She's still a person and her weight really isn't your problem. Do you call people in real life "fatty fat fattys", too? Get a life and stop mocking this poor woman over the internet. Having your own kid point out your flaws is disconcerting, even if they don't mean it to be an insult.
(-1)Guess what, in real life, I get called "skinny" by EVERYONE. People who don't know me and know me, strangers on the street, people that see me in public... everyone feels the need to tell me to "OMG EAT SOMETHING YOU'RE SO SKINNY I COULD SNAP YOU HAR HAR HAR."
So why would fat people get butthurt when other tell them, "OMG STOP EATING YOU'RE FAT IF YOU SAT ON ME I'D PANCAKE HAR HAR."
*rolls eyes
#64 - On 12/31/2009 at 3:15pm by asiancreampuff
(0)Everyone who says YDI is pretty much saying "YDI for being poor." You can find a job, but what if you can't get a job because you're not talented? It's most likely not the OP's fault.
#54 - On 12/31/2009 at 2:18pm by Bloonbloon
(0)It's probably no big deal. My little brother says everyone is fat. Besides, at least he thinks it's a good thing about you.
(0)If you're fat & have no reason other then poor self control, unhealthy lifestyle, & your "genes" (as in something that's not a medical anomaly), then sorry but YDI.
#59 - On 12/31/2009 at 2:54pm by asiancreampuff
(0)Well your kid might have just said you were fat cause he/she is a little 7 year old, but like, if you are actually fat, there's no way you could not know that you're fat. So, unless you have a medical condition (i.e. diabetes) or are taking medications that cause weight gain, it's probably time to lose weight if a comment from your kid saying that you're fat bothers you so much.
People who are overweight due to their own eating habits and/or lack of exercise have no room (lol no pun intended) to complain and not do something about their weight. That is, ASSUMING that the OP is overweight and that it's actually her fault if she is overweight.
Anyways, yeah I'm done. Teehee :b
#66 - On 12/31/2009 at 3:44pm by Rebecca1993
(0)Being 'fat' isn't the end of the world. Plus, at least your child wasn't making fun of you!
#70 - On 12/31/2009 at 4:39pm by FortuneFaded
(0)the OP might not have been fat, to a little kid, alotta people are fat, btw, little kids are so cute :D
(0)but what if op isn't fat and what the kid see is skinny people and the mom isn't skinny but is at a healthy weight. lol
#79 - On 12/31/2009 at 10:28pm by WOW_idc123
(+1)Everyone who says "YDI for being fat" is pathetic. Shallow bitches who can't even spell or write correctly. I'm not even fat, but you need to shut up.
#85 - On 01/01/2010 at 1:49am by City_at_war
(0)You have been in control of your weight for your whole life.
This is not some crazy, random, unfortunate act that signifies
how f'd up your life is. Sad to say but most likely your daughter
is merely stating the obvious about your appearance. Hopefully you
will change your unhealthy lifestyle, seeing that your daughter might imitate you.
-Ty
(0)Haha I can't believe it! My sister said the exact same thing to my mom when she was younger XD
#87 - On 01/01/2010 at 6:27am by neon_teardrops
(0)Poor kid, perhaps you should explain that mommy doesn't like being fat and that he/she should be better than mommy.
Also, you might wanna make an effort to live a healthier lifestyle... if not for yourself then for your child's sake.
Goodluck, and happy new year.
p.s. this is usually the time when gym memberships have discounts ;)

(0)Being fat is a disease.
If the woman feels that that is a FUCKMYLIFE fact that her child stated that she wants to be like her... then she should start doing something!
I know that there are skinny people... and some people that have some weight... but being obese is not normal.
Most of americans think that being obese is something super normal... and people shouldn't judge them. I don't say that everyone should be skinny... I'm not skinny... but I'm not fat at all... neither obese.... but is a freaking disease!... wtf??... That poor kid shouldnt have a goal for the future to be fat as her mom... being abnormally fat is not cool... is not supposed to be a goal in life.
Yeah the kid is 7 year old.. so the mom should do something because is something that makes her feel that her life is fucked.
TIME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR WEIGHT... or at least teach your kid that she should care about her health... and not be TOOOOOOOO fat.
#94 - On 01/02/2010 at 12:35am by halapahala
(0)well when I was little I walked up toa women at costco and said ooooo ur having a baby and rubbed her tummy turned out she wad fat!!!
(0)at least it's not too terrible...he still wants to be like you.
#101 - On 01/03/2010 at 10:27pm by shankapotamous15
(0)Oh my gosh.
NO joke, my sister said this exact same thing to my mom when she was about that age.
My mom replied "don't worry, you'll get there soon enough."
My sister started crying and screamed "No! I want it now!"
[For the record: my mom isn't actually fat. She's 56, 5'7", 120lbs]

#105 - On 01/11/2010 at 10:37pm by girlslikeboyz
(0)Well your kid is most likely going to be fat if your fat, because only fat people feed their kids things that can get them fat.
(0)Your child loves you just the way that you are. Maybe your child was telling you this, and saying that he/she doesn't care what you look like. He/she obviousely thinks that you are beautiful, and you should too.
(0)At least she didn't say
"When I grow up
I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star
I wanna be in movies
When I grow up
I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars
I wanna have boobies/groupies"
#109 - On 01/30/2010 at 1:10am by klaritydoll
(0)My cousins daughter said something similar about her mother and me. Turned out she was talking about boobies, so don't take it too serious ;)
