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?

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.

You'll lose the weight. You can do it. Maybe this was the wake up call that you needed. Your mom doesn't sound supportive. Swimming is great. So is walking, running, biking. Move around as much as possible. Dance! And please... stay away from the 2 pieces for now...and sugar..stay away from sweets. :)

She didn’t say she was wearing a bikini. She just said she was wearing a two piece which means she could be wearing a tanki. I much rather see people in a tank top and short swimsuit than a normal one piece. Depending on what department she went to a junior x-large is different from a women’s x-large so she may not be big at all.

thank you! I am not fat but I wear large to extra large swim bottoms because I have quite a booty. Also, swimsuit sizes are really wierd. one brand I fit in a medium another I need a large.

I hear you 325 :P with my bathing suit I have a medium top and large bottoms. The top fits perfectly and the bottoms are a little tight, but I don't need to go up a size. All it means is I have a big butt. Or as sir mix-a-lot would say; "baby got back!"

People who rain shit on FMLs like this must have terrible self esteem o.O Seriously, what's with all the 'don't wear a bikini' bollocks? She can wear whatever the **** she wants, you immature pricks! Oh noes, someone who has curves is exposing skin! Eye bleach, eye bleach! Losers.

Is this an FYL because you don't know what size you wear? That's what it sounds like! If you're going to gain weight, then you have to figure out what the most fitting and flattering size is. That wasn't terribly tactful of your mother, but if you know you've gained weight, how could you have expected to fit a smaller size? Don't be clueless, and you won't invite comments like that in the future!

Don't let *anyone* drag your down. If you were happy with the swimsuit, that's great. Forget about the size of it. If you think it looks right and you felt confident, just go with it. Ignore what anyone else says. What you think about yourself is far more important! Be happy :)
