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.

#16: If the way other people look makes you suicidal you have some issues of your own. Otherwise, honestly it has too be more then "a few pounds" if you thought you could wear a medium and could only wear an XL. But if you did think you looked good, and you felt good then don't worry about the tag, or what everyone else is saying about "OMG YUR FAT NO SWIMSUIT FOR YOU!". Hell I only weigh 125lbs and I have to wear a large usually. Hips and ass are big factors in bottoms.

Also #283 weight gain isn't a sudden thing that happens over night, it's gradual. So no you can't really notice the difference of your movement because as you gain weight you adjust to moving around with the extra pounds.

#280.... you deserve to be publicly flogged. After working for a uniform company and seeing what a REAL medium looks like, its roughly the same size as an XL at most clothing stores..... maybe you should start eating 280, that way you can stop being such a moody beeeee-otch!

if it makes youy feel any better i can be a size 3-7 and be anywhere between a medium and xl when it comes to bathing suit bottoms. Don't let it stress you out too much, girl sizes run funky sometimes, although most of the time it doesn't make us feel good just think to yourself "I LOOK GOOD, AND IT DOESN'T MATTER THE SIZE I JUST PUT ON"
