Think before you speak

Today, I learned I'm one of the biggest contributors to my sister's severe body issues and eating disorder. Apparently, my constantly making jokes about her having a giant butt wasn't just harmless teasing after all. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I was having lunch with my sister and my mother. While my mom was busy ordering food, my sister said to me, "look at this face I can make!" and she grossly contorted her face so that she had a double chin. My mother looked over and said to her, "stop making fun of your sister!" FML

Today, I was on the phone with my little sister as she explained that all these guys like her now that she's so skinny and beautiful. My mom must have overheard me tell my sister that at least I was a cuter child, because my mom laughed and said, "Yeah right, we had to buy you fat kid diapers." FML

Today, my sister asked me if any of my family members had commented on my recent weight gain. I told her no not really. Her reply? "They must just being saying it behind your back then." FML

Today, I overheard my ripped, handsome, genetically perfect brother telling my mom how "fat people" make him "nervous". I have only recently accepted my weight, after struggling for years. I now understand why my brother rarely talks to me. FML

Kids are assholes to each other

Today, I have discovered that my daughter is struggling with anorexia. When I sat down to talk with her about it, she said it’s because, "all the other kids at school keep calling her fat." She was underweight before, and has now gone to being severely underweight. FML

Today, I was talking to a female friend online. She was typing out a story bit by bit about how awful she was feeling after being teased. I was responding with "So, so true" but because of my slow typing it appeared after she wrote, "Doesn't help being fat." FML

Today, after weeks, I've finally reached my goal and lost 10 lbs. My sister got jealous about me losing weight, and told my parents and coworkers that I'm anorexic. Hello, intervention. FML

Ex-friend

By Anonymous - 02/05/2023 03:00

Today, my friend, knowing my mental health is really bad right now, decided to yell out the fact I have an eating disorder, and how she never sees me eat ever, then started to talk about self-harm and how she would never do it despite what she has gone through. All while side-eyeing me when talking to other people. FML

Did you know she had body issues and continued to make jokes about her butt? Or did you not realize she had an eating disorder so you didn’t understand what your jokes were doing?

Wait. Are we back to thinking having a big ass is bad? Because last I heard, there was a plethora of people who were fond of ample posteriors. The challenge is that now she thinks of it as a negative and it will take her years to see her bountiful backside as a positive. I’m not sure if there’s anything you or your family can do to turn such a negative into a positive, but you owe it to her to try.

There's always been a difference between a shapely big ass and a lumpy one, that is, between callipygean and steatopygean.

Was it meant as just innocent teasing, or insecure jealousy leading you to maliciously relentlessly bully and harass? I'm going with the latter.

Let me guess - you're one of those skinny, perfect, Barbie doll sticks? I despise your type, especially when they make comments about other people's bodies.
