Today, I was telling my boyfriend about how self conscious I am and how I obsess about my weight. He said, "Don't be ridiculous, you don't need to lose THAT much weight." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was talking to my boyfriend about how I'm self conscious about my weight. He looks at me and says, "Don't worry babe, I've always been kind of a chubby chaser." FML
Today, my boyfriend encouragingly told me that he could tell I was losing weight, all because I had one roll fewer than usual on my stomach. FML

Today, my chunky boyfriend told me that he'd be less attracted to me if I gained weight. I have low self-esteem. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me I should stop talking about his major gambling problem because he still loves me even though I gained weight. Apparently that evens things out. FML
Today, feeling confident, I asked my boyfriend what he thought of my new body, since I had lost 16 kilos over the past month. He told me that he missed the old me and wanted me to gain weight again. My boyfriend was the one that encouraged me to lose weight in the first place. FML
Today, my fiancé and I had a fight because he wouldn't let me get what I wanted to eat, even though it was my money. He said, "It's way too many calories. I'm supposed to help you lose weight." When I pointed out that I had given up a month ago, he looked at me and said, "Yeah, I can tell." FML
Today, I went to the doctor to talk about my depression and low self-esteem. He told me that I shouldn't think of myself as a fat pig for being overweight. I don't think that and I'm NOT overweight. FML
Today, while having dinner with my boyfriend's family, his mom told me that it looks like I've gained quite some weight. When my boyfriend told her that this was a rude thing to say, she said it wasn't rude, just the truth. FML

Wow. There's a lot of rude people on FML. No need to call her "fatty" or "lil piggy". :(

Ydi for trying to fish for compliments. His response wasn't even mean, it was actually nice if you are fat. If you can't appreciate him, another girl will.

@74 How is it ever nice to tell someone they need to lose weight? That's incredibly rude, especially if you're talking to someone who's admitted having body image issues.

If someone actually is overweight, then it's not really rude to tell them they should lose weight. You aren't saying it to be mean, you're saying it because you're concerned about their health.

193 - You realize you're talking to a society who believes a size 4 is fat, right?

@193 And you think overweight people don't know they're overweight? They're overweight, not stupid; there's no need to spell it out for them. (And being overweight doesn't necessarily mean that you're not healthy, anyway.)

It's not like he directly said "you're fat and need to lose weight." She brought the issue up. If she truly thought she was overweight, did she expect him to lie and tell her she wasn't overweight? He was being kind in implying that she was exaggerating about how overweight she was, if she is overweight. What would be the correct, polite response?

224: The polite response would be to comfort his girlfriend, not insult her. I'm not saying he had to lie and call her thin if she wasn't, but it would've been way more considerate to reassure her that she didn't need to be self-conscious. Even something like "I wouldn't mind if you lost weight, but you shouldn't hate yourself because of it" would've been an improvement.

I still think his response wasn't bad because he wasn't saying it rudely. She's definately overreacting because even if he does say that, both responses still boil down to that he doesn't think she was that overweight.

you brought it up but he probably didnt mean it that way, sometimes people just don't know how to word it. :)

Why is everyone calling her fat when she never states how much she weighs? She could just have a full figure - the most logical deduction you can make from his response. Oh right, we're on the internet not using our real names so it's ok to be assholes right? OP - Just get 30-60 min exercise each day and you should be fine

boohoo op people alway tell me I'm too skinny and need to gain weight and with a fast matabolism gaining a pound is like hell and trying to keap it on is harder for fat people it's so easy hop on a tredmill do some sit ups and lay off the twinkys and boom your good ever try getting hips it's harder then you think

yea...about that. it's not always easy. you have a fast metabolism and some people suffer from a slow metabolism. i know my sister went to the gym with me for like 6 months 4-5 times a week and no matter what the weight wouldn't come off. so if you don't want to be judged, don't be so quick to judge others.

From one naturally thin person to another: STFU. What you're doing is no different than what OP did-- bitching about your body. OP (and most commenters) can't relate to you and I, because they have no idea what it's like to want to gain weight when it's so difficult. But know what? You can't relate to them and their weight struggles either, so neither side knows which has it worse. Both have advantages and drawbacks. Comparing is pointless. Accept what genetics gave you, work with it, do everything you can do to stay HEALTHY, and **** society's impossible and contradictory notions of beauty. Period.
