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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

This is one of the dumbest FML's I've ever read.

YDI for saying "wish". if you'd said, i'm trying to look like the before or something even close to that, we'd be talking. and honestly, i never click YDI for the fat ones, but you DI. get of your butt and stop wishing. or work hard to get some money for lipo.

mods, when are you going to stop accepting the fat ones? not that i have anything against fat people, but seriously, at least keep something original. there are probably about 50 different versions of this same FML. it's getting ridiculous

Dude! I love the way people can be sooo negative about things like this! Not really it's honestly uncalled for and really immature. I'd rather be fat than be immature like all the negativity on this post. All u being negative shut the ef up geez ppl. My suggestion is buy a yoga mat and start out doing yoga and by the time you get the hang of that move on to lifting weights to replace some of the fat with muscle. If u have asthma doctors have shots you can take to make it disappear. They find out what triggers your asthma and the rest idk but I kno u won't have trouble w/ ur asthma for that week.....that is if u have it. And switch up ur diet go to weight watchers and don't go over your points. U can do it I have faith in u! Oh yeah and u should run around the block...or ride a bike, and shoot 10-20 crunches a night wouldn't hurt.

It's not immature. It's aggravation. When someone makes a lifestyle choice and then complains about that choice, that's immaturity. The mature people are the ones who work their asses off to fix the mistake that they have made.
