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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

This is so ridiculous. I do think it's important to look nice, but Just look in a freaking mirror. You know how you look, you know if you like it how it is or not. Getting a self-esteem boost (or the opposite) out of fitting some clothes on (or failing at it) or a number on a scale is pathetic. It doesn't change how you were before doing it.

49, what do you know, you dumbass? I happen to like chubby girls and I know many many MANY other guys who do. Even random strangers on the internet do! Even skinny little guys do! So what gives you the right to say they'll "never be hot"? Last I checked, you're not a god. But of course, GOD FORBID these "fat bitches" are loved for their personalities... And why are you throwing around the word "Bitches"? Isn't a bitch used to describe a mean woman (cause female dogs can be nasty)? Did a fat woman murder your father or something? And to the OP; Despite what assholes say, alot of guys like chubby girls. They're harder to find, but we exist. However, if you wanna lose weight... I have no advice, but other people do! If you think bad of your weight, it probably is better to wear a one piece for now until you lose weight, but if you don't *shrug* I don't care. Above all, I hope your self-esteem gets better.

I agree that fat people should'nt wear bikinis it's really gross, but if you are happy with yourself and feel good than good for you. But it seems like you don't or maybe you didn't realize how big you actually became or were in denial. You should turn this experience around and make it positive by using it as your motivation to get back into a medium!

Baha. You're fine the way you are :D I thought I was fat when I went to Khols and tried on size 12 pants that didnt fit at all and then I tried on size 14's and they didnt fit either. I matched both of them up to a size 8 and they all looked Identical. There are shitty stores everywhere...Like Abercrombie, all their clothes are meant for really skinny, tall, freakishly long armed girls :/ I wear ones, threes and double zeros now though, that happened when I was like 13....But still like I said you're fiiine. Dont sweat teh small stuffs.

#49, LOL SRSLY? She's supposed to base her self esteem/body image on what guys think of her =_= ? Grow a brain and GTFO.

I like how people are hating on the mom for saying what she said. It's like telling someone who's trying to black that they're not. Same thing. She was just stating a fact
