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

Target clothing ALWAYS runs small. I usually wear a medium, but in the Target juniors section I need a large for most of their clothes. Also for swimsuit bottoms there I'll wear a large or even extra large sometimes because they're very low cut. So that doesn't mean that she's fat or that she doesn't know her size. A lot of these comments are coming from guys who don't understand how girls' sizes work anyway. They're different at almost any store, and what size we wear can differ immensely from place to place, especially in juniors sections.

101, you dumbshit! When did I say I was fat? When did I even hint at it, you dumbass? You just assume that anyone who defends a fat person is fat? And how do I not have a life? Cause I make a comment once in awhile? In that case, you don't have a life either for commenting! Funny you say I'm "Talking shit about the comments I don't agree with", cause aren't you talking shit by calling me a retard or a pathetic **** because you don't agree with me? Pratice what you preach, dammit! And what words did I mispell? Would you care to point it out? Fatty McFatterson... clever. Look, if you're gonna call me fat, come up with something good like "tub of lard" or "McDonalds waste dump". Even though you're only assuming I'm fat, at least be witty about it!

You know, I'm just refreshing this page every few minutes to see what goes on between Mulada and shameonmedude.

106, I agree. It's quite amusing. I must admit, it's really fun to argue, even over the internet.

Maybe it's just your butt/thighs? My friend has to wear an XL at the bottom because of that, but she has to wear an M on top. She's shaped kind of like Kim Kardashian, so maybe you are, too? I don't know, I'm sorry, sweetie. If it really bothers you that much, do something about it. FML can't help you, only you can help yourself and this is not helping you lose weight by sitting here complaining about it to us. Good luck, though. :)

I actually thought Fatty McFatterson was kinda funny, but that's just me. Anyways OP, if your comfortable with yourself you should wear whatever the hell you want regardless of what anyone thinks. There I said my piece. Anger management issues much Mulada?

Lol, "a few pounds". Do you even know the difference between a Medium and an EXTRA LARGE? Thats like 6-7 inches on the waste. Man you really gained "a few pounds".

110, my brother once used the term "Fatty McFatFat the Fat", so I hope that tides you over. No, I don't have anger management issues *throws brick at wall* I just can't stand people like that. I will not rest until everyone of them is eradicated from the internet! Just kidding, I'm just in it for fun.
