Today, I was with my family at a buffet getting dessert. As I had my chocolate cake in hand, I grabbed an extra slice of cheesecake for my mom because I knew she would like a slice. Upon returning to my table, a couple walking behind me commented, "See, that's why Americans are so obese." FML

Today, I scolded my son at a buffet after he pointed at an obese woman in a motorized wheelchair and asked how anyone could let themselves get so unhealthy. As I lectured him on genetics and thyroid problems, she rolled past with a plate stacked with an obscene amount of fried food. FML

Today, my niece offered me a slice of cake. After I refused, she asked, "Why not? Aren't fat people always hungry?" FML

Today, after taking vacation time to visit her, my mom told me she was glad I was leaving so she could get back to her diet. I'm prediabetic and have been trying to manage the condition. She ordered dessert at every meal and was the only one in the family who did. FML

Today, we had a family gathering at my mom's house. I offered to bring dessert, and I was very proud of my homemade cheesecake. As I set it on the table, my uncle decided to do a magic trick with it and make it disappear onto the floor. FML

All you can eat buffet of shit

Today, my dad insisted on taking us to a local buffet that is known for bad food and botulism. He kept piling things onto a plate for me, despite my objections. A waitress commented on how much was on my plate. I told her I wasn't hungry, and it was my dad's doing. Her response, "Your skinny self needs to eat." FML

Today, I was at a buffet with my kids and husband. As my boys got up to get more food, I told them they'd better come back with something green on their plate. They both came back with mint ice cream and got a high-five from my husband. FML

Today, at my maternal grandmother’s wake, I decided I deserved a piece of cake as it had been a hard day. I was serving myself a slice when my paternal grandma caught my eye from across the room, making a “fat face” at me. She called out, loudly, “You don’t need it Pudgy.” FML

Today, I was eating a hot fudge sundae and said that the fudge was at the very bottom and I couldn't reach it with my spoon. My husband muttered, "Fat girl problems." FML

&that's when you should have turned and said, "Actually, this cheesecake is for my mom, and American's are so obese because of restaraunts like this one and you are helping them stay open by eating here. Ever think about that?" and then just walked away. Some people, I swear.

#15 i think you did right. #33 so its not ok for people to enjoy themselves if they are overweight? talk about being judgmental! i would have just told them that making assumptions is rude and you have no idea or right to judge others on any level. telling someone they are rude shuts them up without being rude yourself.

Why can't people just mind their own business? Unless you were shoving pieces of cake down their throats then they should just focus on their own issues.

1. You shouldn't have been eating chocolate cake anyway, fatty. 2. Buffetts with desert? It cost a lot, I hope? If not, you're tacky.

Yes, because all British people have big teeth? Someone watches a lot of Family Guy... And I know what your comment meant. Like don't judge a culture on media. But come on? Where did that even come from?

#37, eating chocolate cake is fine, in moderation of course. I hope you were joking. I'm 22, about 5'4" and I just reached above 115 lbs for the first time in my life. I've been eating chocolate cake, or chocolate anything, once a month since I was 11. It's not bad for you unless you eat WAY too much of it ALL the time. About being at a buffet, this person is with their family; when I go out to eat with my family, I don't have a choice, maybe he/she (sorry, no gender specifics) didn't either. I think this is a FML, whether this person is obese or not, people shouldn't be so rude.

Americans ARE obese and if more people were like these people and said things about it we would be less prone to continuing our DISGUSTING eating habits.
