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?

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

Wow... Some of you people are extremely rude and insensitive! Just because someones overweight it doesnt exactly mean it's their fault, some people have slower metabolisms than others. You guys need to get over yourselves and stop saying hurtful things. People that have an unhealthy selfesteem do not need to be further criticized!

what is with all the comments on slower metabolism? That is such an excuse... No matter how slow your metabolism is, a few laps around the track will do the trick. If you are fat, it is not by design!

it's not about what size it is, it's about which size makes you look the prettiest.

Target sizes all of their clothes really small. I have been the same weight for 3 years and I've gone from wearing a medium to an XL in their bathing suits. As long as it looks good, who cares? At least you know what size you are instead of parading around like some idiots do with too-small clothes and fat bulging out over the sides.

I love how fat people are probably the only kind of people it's still perfectly acceptable to discriminate against. I love how ignorant people are. Fat has more to do with eating too much and not enough exercise, although that, of course, plays a big part. But the WHY of people eating too much is what people are just plain stupid about. Over-Eating is a disorder like anorexia or bulimia is a disorder, but since those two make people SKINNY, well then they're the okay illnesses. Most of you are ******* children.

#248 im sorry... but the atkins diet is def the worst possible diet ever. You pretty much just lose muscle mass instead of actual fat.

YDI for being so fat that you couldn't read the damn size tag.
