Today, I was forced to spend an extra $318 for another plane ticket to Dallas. The ticket wasn't for my daughter, my mom, or my sister, but for the quarter of my butt that apparently needs its own seat. FML

Today, I paid $140 extra to get more comfort during a flight. The man behind me was so tall that his legs didn't let me recline the seat, and complained every time I tried to during the night. FML
Today, I found out that my dad paid for my sister's friend's airplane ticket so she could attend my sister's wedding. I would have been there myself, but I couldn't afford the airplane ticket. FML
Today, I had to spend a long bus ride with my chest pressed against the window, because some mammoth of a woman decided to squeeze her double wide ass into my seat. FML
Today, I was supposed to fly home for my dad's funeral, but the woman in the seat next to me was so obese, her bulging flesh left absolutely no way for me to sit in my seat. I complained to the stewardess, who then forced me to leave the plane just for raising my voice in frustration. FML
Today, I spent the busiest travel day of the year in the busiest airport in the world trapped between the decision to leave the terminal bathroom or shit my pants. Yes, I missed my flight. Sorry, mom. FML
Today, for an eight-hour flight to Copenhagen, Denmark, I paid extra to get a seat offering more leg room. Unfortunately, the man behind me was so tall, his knees were pressing against my back the entire flight. FML
Today, my daughter found out there was a vacant seat left in first class on our flight and damn if she didn’t pounce on the opportunity to get bumped up into it so fast, because she, “like, deserved a break.” She left me in economy class for a 10-hour flight with her 3 year old and 1 year-old with teething pain. FML
Today, I'm stressing over travel plans yet again. My wife wants to fly standby but the changes in our plans stress me out so much I would rather spend the money. FML
Today, I was flying back home from college with my Mom. At the airport, the ticket agent tells us she only has one ticket listed for Margaret. My mom and I have the same name. American Airlines thought a Margaret had bought two tickets by mistake, so they cancelled one of the transactions. FML
Today, I spent 900 dollars on a ticket for my boyfriend to visit me and he missed the flight. FML

well you gotta feel sorry for the person who might have been sat next to you if you hadn't bought the ticket. They would only get 3/4 of a seat for their butt otherwise :P

Meh. Not motivated much anyway. If I clean my floor up I can do yoga, but I'm a bit preoccupied with other things atm. I'm maintaining the weight I'm at now, and when it cools off, I'll get back into yoga at home.

on a fairly unrelated note, its actually 1/3 of the next seat being taken up by the excess 1/4 of his butt. not sure if this changes how "intrusive" the butt might seem for anyone...probably not :P

It's not judgment so much as "Suck it up and stop complaining." You said yourself, we all have weight issues. This FML isn't complain-worthy. It was expensive, embarrassing, and annoying. We've all been there. When I started high school I was underweight. The guidance counselor assumed that the only reason for that was an eating disorder. She made my mother hire a therapist for me, even though my mother knew I didn't have an eating disorder. It was expensive, time consuming, embarrassing, and just plain annoying to see a therapist about a disorder that I didn't have.

That's your choice. I can see your picture and you honestly don't look overweight. As long as you are comfortable with how you look then that's all that matters.
