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!

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.

#1 Just because someone is large doesn't mean they eat a lot. You can eat practically NOTHING and be large, I know this from experience. And secondly, this sounds like something that would happen to me. I can wear a medium most of the time but my mom always yells at me that no matter what I would never be able to wear a medium.

okay, ONE. - maybe she was trying on a ******* tankini? those are two pieces that DON'T SHOW STOMACH. two! - don't tell her to be anorexic number one, that's completely dangerous. three - go get some lives. you guys have NO right to tell her that she's disgusting for being fat. stop being so rude, because you're probably not perfect either. kthnkxbye.

OP: FYL because your mom's a bitch for saying that and it's an all around sucky experience. YDI because losing weight really isn't that hard. All you have to do is toss your junk food and start running or walking or biking a little every morning. People whine all the time about how it's not a choice. Yes, some are born that way, but unless the sidewalk outside your home is made of lava or you have a condition that requires you to eat massive amounts of fat, sugar, etc, to survive, there really is no excuse. Though being a dancer, I may not be the most experienced in the area of serious weight loss. #56 ftw. #49 needs to chill.

#7 and #57 win hands down. The rest of you little teeny boppers should quit trying bc your comments bore me. The people defending her are probably fat asses themselves and should probably go jogging instead of sitting on a computer talking about how it's ok to be fat and that everyone dissing it should stfu. GO JOGGING FATTIES!

Just because she was wearing XL bottoms doesn't make her fat. Plenty of people have bigger butts but are still fit all over. She could of just gained curvy weight vs. cellulite and a gut. Also it could of been Juniors Xl and that is smaller then a womans XL. Target bathing suits run small so if she was wearing an XL juniors anywhere else it would be a L. But i guess you'd all think that was fat to.

A lot of people here don't seem to know anything about weight. I suggest if you don't know more than one cause of it, not to comment about it.

Over 50% of the United States is overweight, and only a VERY small percentage of that is actually due to metabolic causes. The majority of it is due to over-indulgence and under-activity. It's due to your lifestyle, not a disease. Stop eating so much and get off your asses.
