Today, even though I'm overweight, I was feeling alright about the way I looked in the historical costume I'm required to wear by my job. A little kid came in and asked me if I was having a baby. Guess I don't look as good as I thought. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, while on the bus, a small child asked me if I was having a baby, and I replied "Yes." I'm not. I was just too ashamed to admit I was fat. FML
Today, at school, one of my students confidently told me that I "wasn't hiding my baby bump very well anymore." I'm not pregnant. Just fat, apparently. FML
Today, it was Halloween, and I was giving candy to kids. When a group of kids who looked like they were around 4 years old came up to me and said, "Hey mister, do you have one of those things that make it look like you are fat under your shirt?" I didn't have one of those, but I lied and said, "Yes." FML
Today, while working at a certain California theme park in full costume, I was approached by a kid in line, who looked at me and exclaimed, "Hey look, its Indiana Jones!" which felt pretty amazing. His sister, who was maybe seven years old, glanced over at me and said, "No, he's way too fat." FML
Today, I greeted my boss with, "Looking good, did you lose weight?" He responded that no, he'd just purchased larger pants. FML
Today, I was taking my 3 month-old nephew for a walk in his stroller, when a lady stopped me to coo over him. Then she patted my stomach and said, "Don't worry, you'll lose the baby weight soon." I've never had a baby. FML
Today, I was at work refreshing the shelves when a man turned the corner and said, very surprised, "You look 12!" A few weeks back, two people did the same thing, only they said I looked 9. I'm almost 21 years old, and just very short. Starting to get just a little self conscious here. 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, 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 was carrying some bags out of a store, and my shirt had scooted up a little. I had no free hands, so I ignored it. A woman stopped me to tell me that bare midriffs are only attractive on skinny girls, "not fat ones." I'm 6 months pregnant. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

"No, I'm just a little bloated from the last bratty child I ate." *glare*

It not about what other people think it about what you think about yourself. Also in a little kids eyes you might look bigger then you really are cause they are so small

I always thought that old fashioned clothes made everyone look pregnant. They just have a bad cut to them, especially if you go for realism.

Sorry OP, but I'm sure you look beautiful. ❤️

Ah, he's just a little kid, so he has a skewed perception and no mental filter. Some folks, especially in the southern U.S., would respond with a fake smile and "bless your heart". Which really means the opposite.

Why did you mention "bless your heart"? I don't see how it fits here.

Nonsense. Many pregnant women are radiant.

Kids wouldn't notice the glow. If the kid asked it was because of OP's size or appearance in the costume.

Should have told him/her "Yes, I'm having your baby brother." Then walked off.

Sit on the next child who asks, that's the only solution. I honestly wouldn't worry about it, we're only going to be alive for like 80 more years tops, we shouldn't waste time feeling self conscious and afraid to do things because of how we look

Wish I felt that way...

You deserve it for being a fatass
