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.

a 'few pounds' wouldn't send u from a Med to an XL. perhaps the people telling u to exercise are right. I'm pregnant and ill b damned if I'm going to try to put my ass into a 2. piece for at least a year after the new baby gets here. confidence is good but u have to be ready to deal with those of us that don't think its nice to look at the spare tire hiding ur bathing suit bottoms.

Even the medium bottom at target is very big

its about being comfortable, not being super skinny. just look at marylin monroe. she was a beautiful woman and had curves. if anything, fitting into an extra large is a blessing. now go buy that swimsuit, sexy.

an extra large at target isn't "healthy size". in the same way that no ones naturally skinny enough for an extra small, no "big boned" enough for an extra large

I used to fit in an XS, before I gained weight. But I'm just a naturally small person. So it should be possible... unless US sizes are different from EU ones.

How delusional can you be? I wear M and it never crosses my mind to try on XS. Because ir's freaking TWO SIZES SMALLER. Why would you try an M?? Don't you know your size? Ok, sizes can differ in different places, but not that much. You thought you'd fit into a bottom TWO SIZES SMALLER while realizing you'd actually GAINED a few pounds? Where is the logic in that?
