Today, I saw a weight loss 'before and after' advertisement and I wished I could at least look like the 'before'. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I discovered I am the "before picture" in an internet weight loss advert. FML
Today, I discovered that a company has been using a photo of me for one of those "she lost 50 pounds" online ads. I'm the "before" photo. FML
Today, I spent an hour photoshopping my face onto super skinny models as inspiration for a diet. FML
Today, after undergoing a rigorous diet and exercise program, I was proud of losing 65 lbs in 3 months. When my favorite client saw me gleaming from my results, she loudly exclaimed that, “all life is sacred.” She assumed I'd had an abortion. FML
Today, after going through a major weight loss and change of lifestyle to better my confidence and health, I now have saggy thighs, arms and boobs, a deflated ass, two inches of hanging stomach, and have realized just how unsymmetrical my face is. Oh, and my physical health has never been worse. FML
Today, my boyfriend suggested I try on some old clothes, after weeks of eating better and exercising. The good news: they fit again, and are even a little bit loose. The bad news: somehow, I look fatter now than I did before I started trying to lose weight. FML
Today, I got to see my best friend for the first time in months. Her first reaction was to say, "Wow, you gained a lot of weight." I actually lost a fair bit. FML
Today, a coworker complimented me on losing weight, and said that she wished she could drop a few pounds too. I was too embarrassed to tell her that the only reason I've lost weight is because I haven't been able to afford to eat. FML
Today, I realized that every targeted advertisement on my Facebook involves gym memberships and diet pills. FML
Today, after I completely starved myself for a week and exercised every day in an attempt to lose weight, I instead gained 5 pounds. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

eat healthy, exercise, and don't go on any diet that isn't widely used. my dad now eats very healthy and rides his bik 12-17 miles everyother day and in 1-2 months has lost 15 pounds or so

hit the gym twice a day.. get on an elliptical for @ least 45mins everyday, limit food consumption, don't eat past 7pm FOR ANY REASON, and starting lifting light weights with A LOT of repetitions... This is the Army way and it got me from 200+ to 178 in 2 weeks.. and i am still losing weight.. if energy is a problem there is a supplement called no-explode... it will get u pumped and want 2 work out.. if you refuse to do this then you might want to start getting comfortable with the idea of being fat for the rest of your life. and Get a friend for motivation it helps.

YDI fatsack, if you eat your way through life, don't whine about it, it's your choice to be a 500 lbs chunk of meat. As for a suggestion - kill yourself & donate the body to the zoo, at least the bears will have some 3 days of food or so. :)

Unless you have a metabolic disorder, YDI for hanging out on your couch all day or eating at KFC every day orfor doing whatever makes you so fat. Get your ass up, because admiring fat people's pictures on advertisements is gonna do nothing to get you slim!

i can't help but noticing a trend, in that any any FML posted about weight issues women tend to score more highly on the YDI than men.
