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.

Don't sweat it. I just got large swim suit bottoms at Target and they are a little small on me. And I am most certainly not fat. XL is not that much bigger than large so you are not fat. Now if you were on like....xlllxlxlxlxlxllx. yea. you might wna to cut back on eating foods that are all fatty. No biggy. Youre not fat. There's just more of you to love. Haha.

If you've gained weight, why would you assume you could fit into a medium? Could you fit in one before? Not a big deal, though. Sizes run small nowadays. But maybe you should lose some weight? Run run run. :) But if you felt confident wearing the swimsuit, that's good. Even I don't feel confident in my clothes and I'm not fat. I wish I could have high self-esteem. Be happy.

Well, I have to get an XL, too, but that's because I have really wide "birthing hips", as my mom calls them. It doesn't mean you're fat. Besides-- all you need to do to lose weight is eat right. If you're not doing anything all day, then PUT DOWN THE FORK.

I don't think you should feel bad at all. If you are self concious about it, then by all means excercise. If you aren't, then who cares. Wear what you want. Clothing sizes are all over the board anyways so what is a L one place could be an XL somewhere else, and a M at still another place. Be happy with who you are. Oh, and that was a rude thing for your mother to say.
