Today, I asked my parents if the outfit I was wearing made me look fat. My mom looked at me and paused for a while; my dad said, "Honey, that outfit doesn't make you look fat. Your fat makes you look fat." FML

Today, I asked my mom if she thought I looked skinny in my shorts. She jiggled my leg fat, looked up at me and walked away. FML

Today, my aunt said that it looked like I lost some weight. I was pleased with this, since I've been trying to lose some. My mom, for some reason, thought it was insulting. She pulled me to aside to assure me that I most definitely don't look any skinnier. FML

Today, my son was looking through old photos and showed me a picture of myself and asked who it was. When I told him it was me, he responded by saying "But mommy, the lady in the picture is not fat!" FML

Today, I told my boyfriend that I gained a few pounds and thought I looked fat. He replied that I looked the same and that I shouldn't worry because he likes fat girls. I never thought I was fat before this. FML

Looks

Today, my mom and dad were talking about how if I lost weight, I would be attractive and have guys all over me. My dad said, “That’s exactly what I’m worried about.” It took me a while to realize they both think I’m ugly. FML

Today, whilst trying on wedding dresses with my mom, she told me that I looked fat and awful in the dress I liked. When I told her how hurtful she was being, she told me that I should be grateful that she told me what she thought instead of laughing at me behind my back. FML

Today, while having dinner with my boyfriend's family, his mom told me that it looks like I've gained quite some weight. When my boyfriend told her that this was a rude thing to say, she said it wasn't rude, just the truth. 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 went to my parents' house. I recently lost about 30 lbs. My mom hugged me and said, "Aww, you're not my chubby baby girl anymore." She then said she wished I were still fat because she missed it. She's the reason I lost the weight; she used to tease and taunt me. Thanks Mom. FML

Would you rather he have lied to you? You should know whether or not you're overweight one way or another, so to ask that question was idiotic on your part. I understand that some clothes can make you seem fatter than you are and have seen first hand some thin women wearing unflattering clothing, but this... This is just wtf...

Your Dad is officially my hero. While that was a tad harsh for Father-Daughter conversation, at least he told you the truth and saved you from humiliation while you were at school or something... LMAO.

What her dad said wasn't harsh.. he was being honest to his fat daughter. Obviously if her mom stayed silent and her dad blurted out that she was fat then neither of her parents are that way which means that they haven't been the ones leading to her fatness. Seriously, by this time she is obviously heading out to the mall and eating at McDonalds 3 times a day on her own so her parents don't control what she eats 24/7, plus if they did she would probably come back and bitch and moan something like this.... "Today, I bought 3 super size big macs and a milkshake... I came home to eat it because I have no friends who will sit and eat with me. While I was trying to fit onto my chair my dad threw the food away and handed me a salad. FML."

im with 71. If you are overweight, and you are uncomfortable, then work on it. And please dont give me any bullshit about how someone out there is overweight and you're trying and nothing you do works. Stop eating fast food. Stop eating large portions, stop eating unhealthy snacks, stop eating the way you wat and work out. Eat less, move more. You will lose weight quarantteed. And just FYI...those little mini chocolates you think are safe acuse they are just a tiny bite? beside the fact that they add up, they each clock in at about 100 calories. The average woman should only be eating ~1500-1700 cals MAX a day. If you are trying to LOSE weight, the average female should only be eating 1100-1400 calories and working out to attempt to burn an additional 300-500 a workout. minumum. Youdo that, you'll lose weight. How do I know? I lost 100 lbs.
