Today, my dad informed me that my prom dress makes me look chubby from the side, gives me "back fat", and that I wouldn't want to go to prom looking like that. I tried to ignore his hurtful comments and tell myself I was beautiful. Then the clasp broke. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, whilst trying on wedding dresses with my mom, she told me that I looked fat and awful in the dress I liked. When I told her how hurtful she was being, she told me that I should be grateful that she told me what she thought instead of laughing at me behind my back. FML
Today, I was excited about my friend going wedding dress shopping, so before I went to go work out, I decided to try on a prom dress from high school to remember what it felt like to get dressed up. It was too tight, I broke the zipper, and spent 45 minutes trapped before I cut myself out. FML
Today, I finally gave my mum an expensive designer dress I spent months saving to buy for her as she had been very depressed. However she has gained so much weight from stress eating she ripped it when trying to put it on, and now won't talk to me because, "I wanted to make her feel fat". FML
Today, I went in to pick my wedding dress. My fiancé's ex-girlfriend was my consultant. She basically hinted that I looked fat in every dress. FML
Today, my mom and I were looking at dresses for me at the mall. The cashier pointed out a dress, and my mom said, "She's definitely not going to fit into that. She's too flat-chested." FML
Today, my sister told me she didn’t want me in her wedding pictures because I looked fat in my bridesmaid's dress. FML
Today, I asked my parents if the outfit I was wearing made me look fat. My mom looked at me and paused for a while; my dad said, "Honey, that outfit doesn't make you look fat. Your fat makes you look fat." FML
Today, I finally lost enough weight to fit into the beautiful dress that I ordered for my senior prom. I graduated from high school in 2010. FML
Today, I tried on a dress for prom. It took a while to zip, but I insisted it'd fit. I asked for help. When the lady finally managed to zip all the way, the dress completely ripped at the seams. Not only did I have to pay $169 for it, but the lady told me, “We have more dresses in the plus-sized section!” FML
Today, I was shopping for dresses when my fiancé turned into what I can only call a groomzilla. He told me and my maid of honor that we need to lose weight because he's not "paying all this money for a pair of fatties to not look good." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe you should listen to your father's advice for a change instead of categorically ignoring him just because it makes you feel better. He could've just said "DAAAAAMN!" But it sounds more like he was trying to be helpful rather than hurtful.

If your mom tells you you're fat, she might just be overreacting. If you're dad does it, and especially in detail, he's probably telling you the truth to try to help you. Too many girls think they're fat when they aren't, but you shouldn't be a fat person in denial either.

YDI for buying a dress that's too small. How could you avoid seeing (and feeling) this in the shop where you bought it..?

They have gyms for a reason, maybe if you tried to be healthy you wouldn't have this problem

God, can't you guys stop saying "Oh, she deserved it because she's fat." or "You're obese.". Even if op IS obese, who cares??? What is SO wrong about eating unhealthy and not excersizing? Other than the fact that it's unhealthy, what about this makes op and any other obese person so terrible and awful because they don't want to eat certain foods? The point is, op's dad called her chubby and no matter how fat or thin you are, it hurts when people say that to you. So stop critisizing her and stop being so judgemental!

It's a problem if the person has a weight issue, knows they have a weight issue, isn't comfortable with it, but won't bother trying to improve it. I don't know enough back story on OP to judge if that applies to her, but for now, FHL.

You could lose a few lbs before prom. It wouldn't hurt...
