Today, in class I was teaching 6 year olds about the difference between short and tall, and I asked them how they could see that I was shorter than the other teacher. One of them raised their hand and said it was because I'm fatter. FML

Today, I lectured my second-grade class to be more descriptive in their writing. I gave them an assignment to describe something in the classroom. I was grading their work later, and one student wrote, "My class is taught by a fat teacher with gray hair." FML

Today, someone in my class wrote, "Erase me if you can!" at the very top of the board, as I'm always tormented about how short I am compared to everyone else. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't reach it. I'm the teacher. FML

Today, at school, one of my students confidently told me that I "wasn't hiding my baby bump very well anymore." I'm not pregnant. Just fat, apparently. FML

Today, while at work I was reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" to me class of 5 year olds. I got near the end of the book and said "Look at the big fat caterpillar" to which one of my pupils replied "Just like you, Miss!" FML

Today, I was babysitting a three-year-old. She asked me what was wrong with my belly. I had to explain to her that I'm just fat. Twice. FML

Today, a friend asked me to come with her to the art building at school so I could pose in the stance of a figure she was drawing for her exam. I obliged and sat for the pose. When the art teacher walked by, she looked at me, then at the sketch, pointed to the legs, and said, "Make them fatter". FML

No worries, op. Being shorter can make people appear to be heavier than others. You might actually weigh less than the teacher ^-^

I actually think we'd be about the same size if I was a bit taller.

Ain't that the truth. Yesterday, while in a crowded store, my 7 year old sister said quite loudly, "Daddy, you're the perfect weight. Sister, you're a bit skinny. Mommy, you're fat." But the most important thing to remember is that fat and beautiful are not mutually exclusive.

#24 Yeah, they aren't. As long as you also recognize that it's not a healthy lifestyle to be overweight (I'm not a skinny little rail myself don't crucify me SJWs). Also, being overweight will cause the beauty you had to fade faster.
