Today, my mom accused me of having an eating disorder, and I didn't correct her. Truth is, I lost weight after I went off the pill a year ago. I'm too embarrassed to tell my mom that I haven't had anyone in a year. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, after I skipped dessert for the third day in a row, my mom cornered me and accused me of being anorexic. I'm actually not far off being clinically obese and I'm just trying to diet, but nothing I say will convince her. She wants me to see a psychiatrist about a disorder I don't even have. FML
Today, I told my mom I lost 30 pounds because of an eating disorder. She told me to keep up the good work. FML
Today, I admitted to my parents that I have an eating disorder. Instead of trying to help, my mom stared at me and said, "Duh". FML
Today, a coworker complimented me on losing weight, and said that she wished she could drop a few pounds too. I was too embarrassed to tell her that the only reason I've lost weight is because I haven't been able to afford to eat. FML
Today, I felt sick to my stomach, so I told my mother I didn't want to eat dinner. She started accusing me of being anorexic, so I ate a little bit anyway to make her stop. I then threw up, only for her to take it as confirmation that I have an eating disorder. FML
Today, I told my mom that I'm bulimic and have been for a few years, and that I needed help. She responded by saying, "Well that's clearly not working for you. Why don't you try anorexia?" She then patted me on the head, smiled, and walked away. FML
Today, my mom asked me if I had an eating problem because I've been eating less. I only started eating less because she told me I ate too much. FML
Today, I finally broke down and told my mom that I'd relapsed with my eating disorder. She told me to quit whining and eat a burger, because she didn't want to pay for another therapy session. FML
Today, I told my mom that I think I’m anorexic and she told me she didn’t care. When I asked why, in disbelief she replied, "Honey, you are 5’3 and over 350 lbs, at this point you NEED to be anorexic." FML
Today, I decided I need help, so I confessed to my mother that I'm bulimic. After she looked it up online she started screaming at me for "Wasting food that I'm not paying for." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wouldn't your mom see it as a good thing that you hadn't had sex in a year?

So your mom encourages *******? Hopefully you're using this time for self-discovery...

Hey guess what #14!? You're WRONG! A woman has the potential to get pregnant MOST days of the month. Yes, MOST. AND sperm lives up to THREE DAYS in a womens "Area." And I don't mean to sound overly Republican here, but the ONLY way to avoid any chance of pregnancy is to remain ABSTINANT! So hey FML girl, you're on the righttrack ;-]. So, if any woman reads #14, DO NOT go ahead and google some unsubstantiated hippy chart, because you might just wind up with your very own "fml."

as much as i hate to agree with #14, #115 you are wrong.. a woman can really only get pregnant in about a four day window, during, as #14 said, ovulation.. but #14, all women are not perfect like you and do not have regular cycles, therefore, unless a woman wants to leave pregnancy up to chance, all necessary precautions should be taken.. and i surely do not assume you would not advise your daughter to use this form of "birth control"

according to published material by BYU, 13 of the 28 days you are fertile (2 of which only have small chances) and sperm can live for up to 3-5 days within the female body. so if you add on 3 days on either end of the 13 (since two of the days are unlikely, we'll use the lower end of the sperm life-span) you have 19/28 days where you can get pregnant. Factor in the period, and you don't have many days of "free sex" as #14 so nicely put it.

You should speak to your mother, before she find out some other crazy idea (like take you to some doctor). The other ideas (about getting pregnant) are LOL. A new ovulated oocyte is fertile for a day. If it is got older, it can be fertile, but the chance of the DNA getting damaged is high and if it got fertilized usually miscarry happens.. Sperms can live 2 days in a woman. So if you don't know the beginning of your period, you have 10% chance in a random time... The 13 day is not real. In your period the 13th-16th day is when the ovulation happens, usually it is the better chance for getting pregnant.. But not always, because some (lots of) women have problems with their period. It doesn't mean that they are fertile for 13-19 day, they just simply don't ovulate on the 13th... Instead they regulary ovulate on an other day (like 11th, or 19th), or they don't have a proper 28-day-long period. Their hormon system can be inbalanced, and they can have period with random lenght. You have to know yourself, your illness, or uniqueness to avoid things you don't want to happen - like getting pregnant or getting STI. Condom is better, because the partner can give you some not really nice infections.. The man can tell you that he would pull out, the woman can tell you that she took her pills, you can't check it before it's too late... but you can see if you use condom.

haha, a year. I'm a 20 year old male and I haven't had sex in 3. I'm not ugly, fat, or a jerk. Apparently whoever said "everyone gets laid in college" didn't have social anxiety disorder.

Really? My parents would be happy if I hadn't had anyone in a year. Even my wife.
