Today, I went shopping at a thrift store. I found a really cute top that fit me perfectly, so I bought it. Afterwards, I noticed the original tag was still on it. It read: "designed with your pregnancy in mind". It was a maternity top. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally found a cute dress that hugged my curves and hid my imperfections. I wore it to my friend's house, and was feeling pretty good about myself, until some pregnant woman walked into the room wearing the exact same thing. It was a maternity dress. FML
Today, I went to a thrift store and found heaps of clothes that I loved that fit me perfectly. Then I found a special distinctive dress. My dress. My dad had thrown away heaps of my clothes and I had to buy them all back. FML
Today, while shopping for clothes, I asked the assistant to recommend something for me. She took me to the maternity section. Thanks, but I'm not pregnant. FML
Today, I bought a new, expensive dress for a date. I left the tag on and hidden in hopes of returning it later. Someone saw it and ripped it off for me to "save me from embarrassment." FML
Today, I was carrying some bags out of a store, and my shirt had scooted up a little. I had no free hands, so I ignored it. A woman stopped me to tell me that bare midriffs are only attractive on skinny girls, "not fat ones." I'm 6 months pregnant. FML
Today, my mother asked a woman at the clothing store we go to all the time when her baby was due. Turns out the woman isn't pregnant. FML
Today, I went to Seattle with my mom to visit my pregnant sister, only to end up being dragged to a store to buy maternity clothes. The saleswoman apologized to me repeatedly for not having a lounge for the fathers, but congratulated me on the baby. I'm a girl. FML
Today, while shopping in the FML store I bought the "Retro Sport Tee," I didn't notice you are supposed to put your own "FML" on the shirt. Mine says "Today, Your Text Here. FML." FML
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
Today, I wore a beautiful new dress that I got for £5 only in a sale. I've been turning heads in it all day. When I got home, my mum pulled the massive red £5 tag off of the back. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Umm lovely997, your friend must be really sick if she's 90 pounds. That's gross. And your 115? Good for you...my mom weighs pike 117...but she's 5' 2''. Lol. Anyway, your friend needs help! I am 12 and I weigh 83. I am short, too. Most friends in my school weigh like 102.

Omg for everyone calling her fat and stuff: lay the fück off!!! God you people are so immature! Maternity tops don't nessacarily mean your gigantic! It could be when your first starting out. @ OP : so what? It wasn't skin tight unless that's how you wear your clothes in which case you shouldn't be calling yourself fat because not a lot of fat people wear skin tight clothes ...

I never really got what was so horrible about wearing maternity clothes, even if you are a large person. If it fits, what's so wrong about it? I'm relatively thin, and sometimes I wish I could wear maternity clothes - some of them are actually pretty cute! Also, people are being really mean towards fat people. Not everyone can just lose weight. My mother exercises every day of the week for an hour or more and watches what she eats. Her doctor said she should be losing weight. She's still relatively large. It's not her fault; she is trying. I wouldn't believe that she's the only one in this position. Anyway, I say neither FYL or YDI.

Awww... Don't worry about it. It's most likely a smaller size, anyway. Most pregnant women just waste money on maternity clothes for the whole pregnancy experience, even if they don't look pregnant at all. I'm almost 35 weeks, and I haven't had to buy a single item of maternity clothing. I was bigger before, and had a lot of plus sized clothes lying around from before I lost some weight at the gym (sucks when you work so hard to loose it, then BAM... pregnant lol). My shirts have lots of room for growing in, and I have a few bigger ones from my mother-in-law. If the shirt is comfortable, don't worry about it. Wear it. Love it.

So what? If you have a problem with your size, do something about it besides whine.
