Today, my grandma sent me a Valentine's Day card. For years she's been hinting at me to lose weight. The card: a picture of cookies on the front and a gym membership inside. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I received a box in the mail from my mom which I assumed was a care package. It was a scale to encourage me to lose weight. FML
Today, the only card I got for Valentine's Day was in my mother's handwriting, and she posted it through the front door herself. She still won't admit it's from her. FML
Today, when I visited my grandmother at her nursing home, I was looking at pictures she had of all the grandkids. All were normal graduation pictures etc. but mine was a cutout where she made me skinnier. FML
Today, my mother offered to give my overweight girlfriend the workout DVDs that she no longer needs. FML
Today, I found the birthday card my grandma had mailed. Apparently, it contained a gift of $100. Too bad it was in my mom's trash can, opened, with no money. She told my grandma it must have gotten lost in the mail. FML
Today, for my birthday, my friend bought me a book on how to lose weight. FML
Today, after several months of eating right, exercising, and weight loss, my mother has yet again arrived at my house, unannounced and with a very sugary cake. She's been doing this most weeks since I lost 50 pounds. FML
Today, my mom signed me up for Weight Watchers as a surprise birthday present. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My mom got me a gym membership and a bunch of clothes that are a few sizes too small. FML
Today, my girlfriend always assures me she doesn’t care if I’m a little overweight, yet in the past few weeks she’s bought me running shorts, new trainers, a set of professional barbells and weights, a "how to lose weight in your living room" book and installed a treadmill in the garage. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Powned by your grandmother, ouch. However, she is trying to help you, so suck it up and go use your FREE membership. Waste not, want not!

Gym memberships are expensive. Regardless of what she's trying to get at, she's doing you a huge favor! I obviously don't know whether you're actually overweight or your grandmother just feels like nothing's ever good enough for her - for all I know you're totally normal weight or even under! Anyway - enjoy the membership. Anyone who's overweight can stand to lose a few pounds... and if you're already at a good weight, it won't hurt to get fit and tone up. Just don't let it go to waste!

Yeah, a gym membership is pricey - they can run from 25-50 dollars a month, or more. It wasn't the most tactful gift, but it was an expensive one with the best intentions.

I feel for you. My Grandmother did something similar one Christmas. In the same breath she told me I had gained to much weight then offered me chocolate cake. Don't worry about it. Its just a grandmother thing.
