Today, I came home crying and informed my mother that someone had called me a 'fat bitch' today. She held me at arms length, looked me straight in the eyes, and lovingly said, "You can't change who you are." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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
Today, I found myself crying in the bathroom because I started to feel lonely and depressed. My mother came into the bathroom, hearing me cry and gave me an hour long speech about what a beautiful human being I am… And to not forget to lose weight. 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, my friend was complaining about how fat she was. To make her feel better I said, "Psh, you're not fat! In fact we're about the same weight!" She looked at me for a second, then burst into tears sobbing, "I'm fat! I'm fat!" FML
Today, after being bodyshamed by my mother for being too fat (I'm a size 14) and how I shouldn't be wearing shorts because it makes me look ugly and motivates people to comment on my body, I texted my boyfriend to tell him about it. His reply was, "Aww. you cutie. You know she's not wrong." FML
Today, my mom told me that she heard me and my best friend in my room grunting and talking about how hard we were. She said she loved me and accepted me no matter what. Thanks mom, but we were working out. FML
Today, my mother looked me dead in the face and said, "I have failed as a parent." FML
Today, feeling very self-conscious about my looks, I told my mom I felt ugly and wished I could be as beautiful as her. She only said, "Yeah, I'm pretty, I wonder what happened to you." FML
Today, my 6-year-old daughter walked into the bathroom where I was grumbling about my weight. Seeing how upset I was, she took my hand and said, "Mom, you're not fat. You just look fat." FML
Today, I told my mom that I'm bulimic and have been for a few years, and that I needed help. She responded by saying, "Well that's clearly not working for you. Why don't you try anorexia?" She then patted me on the head, smiled, and walked away. FML

You can definitely change. It's called exercise and an attitude adjustment. But in all honesty, your mom should have comforted you, not put you down.

And that's when you look back at her and say the same thing but add in "a stupid bitch" afterwards.

I would've gotten "Get a thicker skin, don't be so sensitive," If that was me.

She probably means that you can't change who you are into a fat bitch.

I don't mean to sound insensitive, but seriously? You go crying to mommy because someone calls you a fat bitch? I spent my whole life being called far worse things than that on a daily basis for being English, Goth and tall. I never cried about it. I'm not saying you deserved it but you have to toughen up big time if you're going to survive in this world.

Okay, I understand maybe hard things have happened to you, but don't make whoever posted this FML feel bad. They just wanted to get their feelings out, if your life is so bad go post your own FML about it instead of paying comments on others.

Wow, someone called you a fat bitch? And you cried over it? Well I'm so sorry that your life is so great that something as pathetic and shallow as that can seem catastrophic. Did you end up cutting yourself and drowning your depression in ice-cream? Because that "someone" would be justified in what they called you, Juss Sayin.
