Today, I went to a family funeral. Talking to my grandfather, trying to chitchat, he said, "You're gaining weight, aren't you?" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my granddaddy called me with the sole purpose of letting me know that I’ve gotten so fat, he doesn’t even recognize me anymore. I’ve been silently suffering with a health condition that causes major weight gain. FML
Today, I saw my uncle after six months. The first thing he says to me is, 'I didn't even recognize you! You've gained so much weight.' Gee thanks uncle. Just what I wanted to hear. FML
Today, I was video chatting with my dad. He handed the phone to his wife, whose first words out of her mouth were, "Why are you getting so skinny?" This was also the same woman whose first words out of her mouth when they came to visit us 3 years ago was how much weight I've gained. FML
Today, when my mother-in-law told me I was losing weight, my husband started laughing. FML
Today, my grandmother said to me, "You look just like your mother did at your age. Except you're fatter of course." FML
Today, like every other month, I accompanied my paternal grandfather to visit his doctor who's as old as he is, and whom I never spoke to ever. As I waited outside, for the first time ever, grandpa had me come in to meet his doctor. The very moment I stepped into his office, he greeted me with a, "He's obese!" FML
Today, while at a family baby shower, my grandfather thought it would be funny to inform me, in front of everyone, that I had gotten fat. I'm 7 months pregnant and the baby shower was for me. FML
Today, I was tying my hair up when my dad rubbed my stomach and asked how his grandchild was doing. He knows I'm not pregnant and that I've been trying really hard to lose weight. FML
Today, my grandparents came over for a family dinner. I'm somewhat overweight, and my grandma kept making sound effects in time with me doing pretty much anything. When I complained to my dad after she made a long farting sound as I sat down, he told me to suck it up. FML
Today, my grandpa pointed out my slightly larger than usual belly and made fun of it, by comparing it to a kidney bag. I’ve been underweight since I was 13, and when I finally gain weight someone has to make fun of it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's the thing about old people - they have no filter. My grandfather said the same thing to me when I went with my dad to visit him, so I finally gave up being polite and said, "Coming from a man who spends all his time looking eight months pregnant, that's kinda retarded." He'd been doing this to me and anyone who wasn't essentially skinny as ****. So you have to understand I'd put up with this for YEARS. It doesn't help I have a binge-eating disorder, so I'm a tad sensitive about it to begin with. But not only was he being hypocritical, he couldn't see how it was rude and hurtful. Anyways, he then tried to tell me he'd lost weight and went off on me about my weight and eating right and exercising again (coming from the man with a house always stocked with a bazillion coke cans), so I told him if it bothered him so much, I'd just slip off to his bathroom and stick my finger down my throat. My dad spent the whole time trying not to laugh his ass off. It was the single most satisfying thing I'd ever done. If this is a one-time thing, OP, just leave it be. He's old and probably distressed over the death in your family, and not thinking clearly, plus as I said old people have no filters. They don't think about the implications or reprecussions of the things they say. But if this becomes a regular thing - well, you've got feelings too, and deserve respect just as much as the next person - don't be afraid to fight back!

Sorry, my friend, most men have no idea how cruel that is. Like the trolls on here, as just one other example. Shake it off - he's clueless, the old fool.
