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

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 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

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

So #14, you assume that just because OP is on the pill that she thinks it's the only type of birth control out there? How condescending... maybe the pill is popular for a REASON. Hell, I know that if I didn't have a blood clotting disorder, I'd be on it in a SECOND, and believe me, I've researched every feasible type of non-hormonal birth control out there since I'm sick of condoms (long term, monogamous relationship here, so don't judge). And being such a birth control guru and all... out of all the methods out there, you suggest the family planning method? Especially to someone who you assume is completely uneducated? LOL WOW. If you want to look righteous, might wanna try harder to cover up that fail.

So your afraid to tell your mother but your not afraid to tell the whole FML world. Makes sense. *Sarcasim Intended*

I wasn't suggesting anything. Just proving that 14 wasn't the only person who knew anything about the human female body. I agree with you #83

You are female. If you want to have sex with someone, it's not particularly difficult. Particularly if you just lost a lot of weight.

#83 is right. Don't only use #14 idea. There is still a decent chance of getting pregnant. Just combine multiple birth controls for minimize pregnancy risk.
