Today, I learned that my mother counts my jeans as two pairs when she counts how many she's putting in for a load of wash. I've gotten that fat. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I noticed that my clothes had shrunk. My mother seemed to be having trouble with the new washer and dryer so I tried to show her exactly how they work. After my explanation she said, "I know how they work. I shrank your clothes to give you some incentive to lose all that belly you got." FML
Today, I put on my "fat jeans" because none of my other jeans fit. Neither do my fat jeans. FML
Today, I had to buy another pair of "fat jeans", because my old "fat jeans" became my new "skinny jeans." FML
Today, I went shopping for a new pair of jeans. I was feeling good about the fact that I was going down a waist size until the cashier decided to discuss with me, three co-workers, and the ten other people in line how she didn't even know jeans came in sizes that big. FML
Today, my dad was folding laundry. He came across a pair of jeans and asked who they belonged to. My mom said, “Those are definitely mine. The knees are worn out.” Thanks for that mental image mom. FML
Today, I noticed some of my thongs were stretched out and now hung loose on my hips. I thought it might be the dryer set too hot but no, apparently my mom has been wearing them over her fat ass, and thought I wouldn’t mind since we occasionally share our hoodies. Not the same thing mom. GROSS. FML
Today, I was folding the laundry. At one point, I had to take a moment to figure out whether a pair of underwear was mine or my mothers. I'm 18. She is 56. Enough said. FML
Today, I noticed that my mom had been hiding all my leggings and yoga pants from me. Upon asking her, she admitted that she was jealous that my butt is bigger than hers, and that when I wear those types of pants, it's like I'm "rubbing it in". FML
Today, I was trying on some new pants in the fitting room at a store. I was so overcome with joy when I noticed that I had dropped two pant sizes, that when I took them off and went outside to pay for them, I realized I forgot to put back on my original jeans. FML
Today, I found why exactly my clothes always seemed more stretched out after about a week of owning them. My mom steals and wears them when she goes clubbing. My mom is 46, twice my size, and gets out more than me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you're not happy with that, it's time to take control of your life and start exercising and get healthy. Best of luck to you, Op.

Look at it as your jeans receiving special treatment, only half as many crammed into the washer.

The first step to fixing a problem is admitting you have one.

Get off the couch fatty.

Actually, that's a very common thing to do. My mother has done all her life, even when I was a scrawny 70 pound kid.

People might hate me for saying this but I am very proud that YDI button was hit more times than the FYL button on this post. Honestly, someone's weight is in there own hands. If her mom is buying unhealthy food, ask for different food or don't eat it and get your own damn food. Also, if you got a problem with what your mom says when she does your jeans, do your own laundry. It's not that hard and is an important life skill. Seems like this "Fatty Fatty Fatso" needs to be like her own jeans and support her fat ass. BAM let the (-) thumbing ensue

I've always hated people who're fat because of their life style but they cry when someone brings it up (not saying the OP cried). It just gets to me because, well, if they don't like being fat, they should, maybe... GO FOR A F###ING JOG?!

i'm with you man, i mean for the most part. if i see a fat person, my immediate thought it "ew" but i dont hate them if i become friends with them

I never hate people because they're fat. I just hate it when people have a solution and don't use it. That can apply to any situation.

Time to do something about it then.

Everyone saying YDI needs to get off their high horse. We don't know OP's situation - she could have a medical problem, she may be exercising and dieting daily but have slow metabolism, have no time to exercise due to work or other activities, or any number of things. Face facts - not everyone on this planet can be the size of a toothpick, even if they try so hard they get themselves to the point of serious health problems (even eating disorders). So before you judge, consider this - you know nothing about what heavier people go through daily, whether it be their job, exercise routine, diet, or personal life. Stop clicking YDI just because OP is "fat" - that clearly shows that people only accept one type of body in society and it's total bullshit.

Most of the people here are not even calling the person. Rather they are stating that if the person who wrote this is unhappy with their weight level (Which based on this FML, they are) that they should do something about it. Even if the person has medical issues, there are still things they can do to change this. This has nothing to do with people accepting or not accepting the person's body type. Instead has to do with the person who wrote this being unhappy and none accepting of their own body type.

Since most chances of being over weight are caused by things that can be helped, I am going to have to say YDI. Not for being "fat" but for being "fat" and complaining about it. If this news bothered you so much, get off of FML, stop whining and do something to work towards fixing it. I am not saying you are or not fat. I am simply stating that if your weight is bothering to do something about it. Even with medical or other issues there is things you can do to change this most of the time.

don't think of your shelf ass and back fat as a result of you being lazy.... maybe there are a few dozen cameras pointed at you. They say a camera can add 10 lbs.
