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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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

Hotlobbies2, There are also these things called "eating disorders". And if you're going to claim that fat people can't have eating disorders, go do some research, please. Frankly, some people simply *can't* "control" that they're "fatties". And then there's other people, such as myself, who had to spend a couple months in residential treatment for my eating disorder because I was so damn afraid of being fat I couldn't keep my head of the toilet. BUT OMG I WAS SKINNY. I also had ridiculously low blood pressure, and a severe electrolyte imbalance, among other things, but I wasn't fat. YAY. Being skinny doesn't mean you're in "good shape", and having some cushioning on the butt and thighs doesn't mean you're fat (especially since that is where women tend to store fat and humans *need* fat to survive). People should be focusing on whether or not they are *healthy*, not if they can fit into 00's or mediums or larges. It doesn't matter. Some of my friends at residential were skinny as rails and were very near dropping dead because of it. And please stop assuming that everyone who defends "fat people" are fat themselves. Some of us just don't like to sit around while people like you go around insulting people left and right just because they can.

I would firstly like to say that if she is short, then a few pounds can in fact make the difference between medium and XL. Secondly, who cares what size you wear, its the attitude and if you feel good about yourself it shines through and people will be like "wow she looks good". As for all of you fat people haters grow the **** up ? Look, if you feel negatively about yourself, I honestly suggest trying hot yoga... you can pretty much go once a day for a month and drop 15 pounds, it also detoxifies your body and it will make you want to eat better. Dont worry about all of those people who tell you you shouldnt be wearing a bikini, as far as I know people didnt always want twigs, people still dont want twigs, voluptous is sexy. Besides... Marilyn Monroe was like a size 12, and shes the biggest sex symbol there is ;) Dont worry about it. And the size of the suit might be skewed anyways.

It should be illegal to make bikinis bigger than a certain size. Go run or diet instead of FMLing lol
