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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

if you were skinny....you would hear a lot of shit talking too....so either way...its a loose loose situation...im a petite person and i have heard rude comments all my life....and it makes me really insecure....but you just have to learn to love who you are and not care what anyone else thinks...size doesnt make someone beautiful or ugly or bitchy or nice....and hey...we are all entitled to be a bitch sometimes....sometimes thats the only way to get through life is being a bitch

Ok but being healthy is something she should care about. Just cause she thinks she's beautiful no matter what doesn't mean she any healthier staying a certain weight.

****** up parenting. Could have been done more kindly, but yes, be healthy, eat right, get some exercise. You'll be fine.

In your biased opinion, she deserves to be bullied by some asshole and not get any moral support by her own mom who would rather say she has no chance to change than help and support her just because "your mom is right"? You sir are a bitch...

I rather be called a fat bitch then ugly bitch hehe jk serious talk now just for your future ... Maybe you should try to eat healthy so you won't be at risk for many things as you get older. You will live longer and be happier.

Maybe OP thinks she is fat when she is not, I mean, there is a possibility that she is in fact fat. Then again, there are people who just "think" they are fat.

An example. My sister is one of those people who can eat whatever, yet, she stays at 90-110 range. Yet, most times she thinks she is fat.
