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.

Some of the comments on here disgust me more than "ZOMG A FAT CHICK IN A BIKINI" ever will. OP: If you thought you looked fine, then you just go and work it.

Scateice, Frankly, I feel sorry that they have you as a sister. Based on your comment I'd say you are a vain, selfish, self-centered, judgemental little witch. I'd take fat over bitchy any day.

#125 Don't say that. It's pretty obvious the fat 'sisters' are actually her.

It's not that big of a deal. At all. I just bought a bikini from Target with an XL bottom and a L top, and I'm actually pretty skinny. I wear a size 4 in jeans and have a 26" waist, and I run 2 miles almost every day. It means you have an ass, and there's nothing wrong with that. People need to get over what the actual size is and focus on what it looks like.

Fat chicks need lovin' too! Just not from me. I'm all set with that.

haha i love how all the comments are like "bikinis shouldn't come in an extra larrrge~" how would all the tiny girls with fantastic asses wear bikinis if they didn't make them in extra large? seriously. my friend is about 5'7" and 120 lbs and she wears an x-large bottom because her ass is amazingly awesome.

I'm offended by all these fat comments. wearing extra large doesn't make you fat. that's exactly what I wear, and I look alright in a bikini. obviously the OP thought she looked good, so the size really doesn't mean anything. she isn't vain, and she can wear whatever she likes.

120: which FML isn't 'retarded' now? Seriously. You might as well say don't post anything on FML, ever. The purpose of the website is to provide entertainment; if you don't like it, then just don't visit. FYL for hating on such 'trival' things and visiting FML -- it's all about that shitty event in the day which just turns an average day into a bad day for a person -- many times this isn't life-changing of course. I like reading all FMLs cuz they are amusing! Even the YDI ones Those people yapping on about fat people in bikinis are retarded. She should not feel bad about wearing what she wants. Besides, you people don't know anything about dressing. Depending on her body type, she can choose the different cuts of bikinis to flatter her figure. If you think fat people look bad on bikinis...... post an FML about it! There: "I saw a fat person in a bikini today and puked all over my boss. I'm unemployed now. FML." And I'll click 'YDI' while a couple of idiots click "FYL'. No need to whine in the comments section or slag off the op! Also clothes come in all sorts of sizes and cuts depending on the store (and country of origin!) so an XL doesn't mean too much. I have everything ranging from S to XL in my wardrobe, it's just horribly confusing. As long as it fits and flatters you, wear it.
