Today, I was at Target trying on swimsuits. I tried on a medium bottom and was so excited because it fit perfectly even though I've gained a few pounds. My self-esteem was at an all-time high until my mom told me I could never fit into a medium. I rechecked the tag. It was an extra large. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, after losing 20 pounds, I decided to purchase new clothes. All of the clothes at the store were still too small for me. FML
Today, I took the kids to the pool. I'm short and 20lbs overweight but they talked me into it and I put on a swimsuit for the first time in 10 years. As soon as we got there, a girl my height but a good 150lbs heavier said, "It's so nice to see another big girl in a two-piece!" FML
Today, a heavy set lady came to my boutique asking for our "largest" 28in size jeans. I decided to humor her by giving a 52 mislabeled as a 28. It fit perfectly! She happily bought it and left. Later, her mother, who is a Super Karen and twice her size, came to complain about me to the owner for bodyshaming her daughter. FML
Today, when I tried on a pair of pants at the mall, I asked the salesperson if I could have the next size up. She informed me that there wasn't a next size up. I have to LOSE weight to fit into the biggest pair of pants the store makes. FML
Today, my mom and I were looking at dresses for me at the mall. The cashier pointed out a dress, and my mom said, "She's definitely not going to fit into that. She's too flat-chested." FML
Today, I bought my fiancée a dress for her birthday. She accused me of saying she was fat, because I bought it in medium rather than small. After trying on the dress, she's now not only mad at me for buying it, but also because the dress fits perfectly. FML
Today, I was chosen out of 64 women to model for the catalog of a new clothing store. Just when my self-confidence took a dramatic boost, I looked at the evaluation sheet. I was picked due to attributes such as my "extra large figure and average face" to make below average women feel beautiful. FML
Today, I finally got the wedding dress I've been waiting months to see. It turns out that my mom ordered the dress 2 sizes smaller than my size, this way it will be "an incentive to lose weight". FML
Today, I received the beautiful dress I'd ordered on the internet. It's a size smaller than my usual, just to encourage me to lose weight. I managed to fit into it and wear it all day, but I've now been struggling for a couple of hours to remove it without tearing it to bits. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

you should sit on your mom, that should teach her a lesson.

The size on the tag doesn't matter as long as the clothes fit well and you feel comfortable with the way you look.

Oh, and I know some people are overweight because of health complications, or whatever else the reason is, but it's NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. Instead of blaming your obesity on things you can't control, own up to your own actions and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Passively sitting around wailing, "but it's in my genes" won't get you anywhere - you'll still be fat. I don't hate fat people, just the ones that cry about it without doing anything to solve their own problems, but this goes for anyone with a problem, really.

88, how did I know someone was gonna comment on that? Other then forgetting the space in fat asses, I see nothing wrong with my spelling. Really, I'm just calling you out on the stupid shit YOU said and all you can focus on is my grammar? Besides, why'd I be embarresed? Unless the Queen of England happens to be on fml, I don't care what anyone thinks of me.

Lots of the comments seem to suggest that if anyone overweight wants to go out this summer we'll have to buy those dresses ladies in the middle east wear that covers everything except our eyes....so we don't offend other people's eyes...... make them feel sick or suicidal or anything, because HOW DARE we try and wear the same clothes as them.

I agree with #22. Wtf is with all the people on this website being like, "If you thought you could fit into a medium, you're vain. YDI." or "If you thought someone was checking you out you're vain. YDI." Like those people don't ever think they're getting checked out or overestimate themselves. People are so quick to judge.

The ONLY way you could have become fat is eating more calories than you burn off which I have no sympathy for unless you have a rare condition, in which case you should be treated for it. Either way, good luck losing the pounds.

Why do people rely on the size of the swimsuit bottoms to determine the level of their self esteem?? Go learn an instrument or something. Better yourself.
