Today, it occurred to me that it’s not normal that I still fit into all my clothes from when I was in high school. I’m 24 and I haven’t outgrown any of my clothes since I was 12. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized that I haven’t lost weight. All my clothes have just stretched to fit. FML
Today, I discovered that I can fit back into the clothes I wore in High School. I was proud of this until my husband told me that I look like a stuffed sausage in them. 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, at 21 years old, I am still so flat chested that I can't even fit into training bras meant for 12 year olds. FML
Today, I wore my high school letterman jacket while I was out shopping. A man saw me and muttered to his wife about how sad it is some adults can't grow up and continue to wear their high school paraphernalia, constantly trying to relive their senior year. I am a senior. FML
Today, I found why exactly my clothes always seemed more stretched out after about a week of owning them. My mom steals and wears them when she goes clubbing. My mom is 46, twice my size, and gets out more than me. FML
Today, I came to the unsettling realisation that the 2XL jacket that was originally 3 sizes too big for me is now a perfect fit. FML
Today, I've lost so much weight from depression that I don't fit into women's clothing anymore. There's nothing like trying to find dress pants in the kids section. FML
Today, my boyfriend suggested I try on some old clothes, after weeks of eating better and exercising. The good news: they fit again, and are even a little bit loose. The bad news: somehow, I look fatter now than I did before I started trying to lose weight. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I am 30 and still have same clothes I was wearing on 8th grade photo. After 3 kids it's kind of great.

This fml should be titled #Humblebrag haha Seriously OP enjoy it! My metabolism kicked in (wait...kicked out? ...it basically just quit on me) after college and I don’t fit shit anymore. It’s pretty sucky after a life of not having to do much to stay skinny (yes I’m humble bragging too lol) and having to actually work at being normal-sized. Count your blessings and enjoy it while it lasts! I used to wish I was bigger and now I’m like what the hell was I thinking lol

Don’t feel too bad about it. I graduated high school in 2006 and it took me about 10 years to grow out of my high school clothes. Just look on the bright if you still like the clothes then you save money

This makes no sense, who said this isn’t normal? You should be glad you still fit in your clothes and that you didn’t get the “Freshman 15” after graduating high school. I sure am glad! I have not grown in height, or gained weight, since I stopped growing in the 5th grade and I am now 28. Aside from struggling with big boobs, so you know how much money I save in buying kid clothes when I can get away with it?

Some people would be very jealous of you (including me)

I've been 5'8 since I was 12 and most girls hit their growth spurts around 12-13, with boys being later. So it's not unusual height-wise to not get taller since HS. And be glad you haven't gotten wider!

To me this sounds more like bragging than a complaint. Of course I have had (too much) weight issues most of my life.

if you are talking haven't gotten taller, that sucks but you grow out of it. punctually intended, but also it isn't a big deal. just make sure not to over compensate, by buying some massive truck or starting fights... but it really doesn't much matter how tall you are.
