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.

Target's bathing suits run small, I always have to buy 2 sizes bigger there.

girl, real women have curves! do NOT be ashamed, and yes, target sizes are way wierd. all these assholes saying "fat people are nasty" and "stop eating" have serious people issues. anyway i'm sure we both agree that girls who are skeletally thin and look coked out are far, far uglier than girls who are a little overweight. and seriously, no girl is ever really satisfied with their body. be proud of who you are :)

Oh man, I cannot find one bathing suit at Target that does not have the wrong swimsuit size on it!

OP, don't even worry about it. Who cares if you aren't the model style of beauty? Average American woman is about 5'4 and 144lbs, which according to the BMI index probably falls in the range of overweight or obese (it's a flawed scale though cause it was modified in the 90's just so diet pills could have a better market). Looks are fleeting anyway, so long as you are happy, who cares? I have a bunch of rail thin friends, and you know what they complain about? Having no boobs, or no butt and dramatically sigh over my bust, wishing they could gain some weight to have more of a figure. Most women are unhappy about something about their bodies, and for some reason a lot of women in society would rather bring another girl down to feel better than compliment another.

#313 you are probebly a fat bitch saying all this because you cant get a man/woman and look the exact same the the chick in the fml. Noone gives a **** about your opinion seriously. Get the **** out of your house and lose some wieght.

Wow, I might be offended, except for the clear ignorance in your reply. Stop being shallow and grow up. If no one cared about my reply, you wouldn't have responded. So on some note, you do care. Your obvious anger gives you away, along with your inane accusations. Oh, and btw, engaged and I'm not fat, not that it really matters. Do us all a favor and if you are a man, get castrated; or a woman, I hope your uterus gets ripped out. Because you really don't need to reproduce.

If you're that fat, you shouldn't be wearing a two piece. America, I'd appreciate it if you didn't show off your fat rolls all the ******* time.

oh geez, you guys. -_- obviously, seeing as the OP was with her mother shopping, she's likely to be young and still growing. i recently gained 7 pounds, but seeing as i'm only fourteen, it was obvious that i'd gotten taller since was no other change in my appearance. the same thing could've happened to her; when kids grow, they tend to need larger sizes in clothes. herp derp. and even if she was an adult, it all depends on where the weight goes. if she's bigger on bottom, she may need a different size than someone who's bigger on top, etc. or she may have gone through a shift in the distribution of her weight. maybe she had always been even as far as bottom-top ratios go, and then after gaining a bit of weight her bottom overtook the top. but just because she has a bigger butt than boobs doesn't mean she's overweight. it may just be that she now has size differences from top to bottom, and many girls do. i'm built like my mom, so i need larger bottoms than i do tops. i often get medium or large bottoms and small tops; my sister, on the other hand, is the exact opposite. so she buys medium or large tops and smaller bottoms. sometimes we even buy the same swimsuit in two different sizes and just exchange tops and bottoms. plus, target has screwed-up sizes.

XLhottie? Right. Do us a favor... put the bikini back and buy some sweatpants. No one wants to see that exposed.
