Today, I told my mom I wanted to try out for the track team. Her exact words were "good luck, fatty". FML

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

Today, I asked my mom if she thought I looked skinny in my shorts. She jiggled my leg fat, looked up at me and walked away. FML

You tried
Today, I was told how cruel and selfish I am for rubbing my weight loss in my mom’s face. I’ve literally begged my mom to walk, jog, workout with me for months. She went exactly once. She complained the whole time, then called me a bitch for finishing my run while she sat in the car. FML

Classic Mom moment
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 finally went running to help me start losing weight. I got 50 metres before someone in a passing car shouted out "Run fatty, run". I can't work up the courage to go for a run again. FML

Classic narcissist mom
Today, I told my mom that I’m pregnant. She said I could use it as an opportunity to “trim down.” I’m 130lbs and muscular. FML

Hush
Today, I caught my mother telling my 11-year-old daughter that if she wants to be happy in life, she needs to start exercising now, because fat can creep up on you, and rich guys never marry fat girls with nice personalities. I was fuming. FML

Today, I got cut from my track team. My coach told me it was because my sprints were "too fast" for his liking. Huh? FML

The shape of you
Today, I told my gym trainer I’d do anything to get in shape. He challenged me to run a mile without stopping. I agreed, then got winded halfway through and dramatically collapsed on the track. A 70 year-oldish woman jogged past me and said, “You’ll live.” FML

Thanks for the unsolicited advice!
Today, my mother once again brought up how I would have done so much better in my Track season if I just smiled while I ran. Apparently, if you just smile, your brain won't know you're in pain. I don't think it works like that, but thanks for the advice mom. FML

Today, my mum was saying she needs to gain weight because she was underweight according to her doctor. She then said she's going to eat like me in order to gain more weight. FML

You don't have to be fast and skinny to be on the track team!!! There are events that you can do like shot put, javelin throw, long jump, pole-vault, and the high jump just to name a few... They don't require speed.

I haven't seen a fat polevaulter in all of my years involved in track and field.

Oh dear God, fat people should NOT do the pole vault! Those poles can snap. They are also lousy jumpers, although you make a valid point about the throws. Successful throwers tend to be enormous. In any case, if the OP is joining the team as a weight loss program, he or she is better off hitting the gym. Sports teams are not for weight reduction or getting into shape and it is probable that the other kids going out for the team already have experience or at a minimum are actually athletic. The OP will end up getting cut and the mom will laugh her ass off.

Why is everyone so hard on people who have trouble with their weight? If you're fat, you deserve it. But if you are fat, and you want to do something about it, like, I don't know, join the track team, there's something wrong with you? I don't get it.

What is the point you are trying to make??

Whatever point you were trying to make, made absolutely no sense. I'm 14 and I have better sentence structure then that.

No 43's point was that it wasn't fair of the mom to pick on the OP for being overweight if the OP was joining the track team as a weight loss measure.

^^He's right. One time, at the grand opening of Krispy Kream, I watched a fat man dead sprint to the doors as they opened. He nearly killed 7 people. *side note* This same fat man was hit by a truck while running a 26.2 marathon. Fatty died.
