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
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

ok I agree with # 25. I mean If it was an XL in juniors its no big deal because I have had to wear XL bottoms in juniors because my butt is a little big but i'm not fat by any means....oh and from what i've seen target clothes and bathing suits run slightly small anyways. So don't sweat it. And if your self conscious about it, just exercise a little.

Why do people base their self esteem so highly on weight these days? It's pretty sad.

It's funny reading all of the fatties trying to cheer up a vain girl who knows she gained weight and thought she could fit into a medium bottom. Face it. No one wants to see some fat ass wearing a two piece on the beach with their fat stomach sagging out and chubby legs. Honestly I don't even want to see you waddle your fat self down the sidewalk when I'm out and about. I used to be fat when I was a kid so I know what I'm talking about. Now I'm healthier and leaner and I feel better than ever. Obesity is not a disease, it's a lifestyle. Now, DIABETES is a disease caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. There's a big difference between a disease and a lifestyle. It's just so hilarious how all the fatties always say they can't control and they're so wrong. Myself along with plenty of others are living proof.

If you work out daily and eat healthy meals and snacks throughout the day, you could eventually fit into the medium. You get results very quickly and when you do, it only gives you more and more drive to get more and more fit. i had a similar situation and i decided to do something about it and now i am more in shape then ever before, you just have to work for it! Working out doesn't have to take time out of your day as long as you eat healthy (with occasional cheating) all you have to do is crunches, push ups, lunges, and etc. for only ten or so minuets, and some days when you have time you should go for a run or something you will feel way better about your body and your self in general, i hope you give it a try. good luck :)
