Today, my parents threw out the beautiful birthday cake my aunt made me, and served celery sticks at my party because I need to "watch my weight." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I told my parents that I was going on a diet to lose weight and I wanted their support. They brought home donuts and pizza for dinner. FML
Today, I woke up early and spent hours baking and icing a three-tier cake for my friend's eighteenth birthday, which is this evening. I just found out my mother threw it in the compost bin because she's on a diet and it was "tempting" her. FML
Today, on my 30th birthday, my mom, aunt, and sister staged an intervention instead of throwing a party. Apparently I’m “ruining my life” by being 300lbs and being "single for 5 years" and I need to “get my act together.” They treated me like I’m some sort of criminal and reduced me to tears. FML
Today, my parents decided to go on a diet. This would be perfectly fine if they didn’t insist I go on one too. I weigh less than 90 pounds and am underweight for my height. FML
Today, I bought myself a Crumbl cookie as a treat for losing 20lbs. Upon seeing it, my mom screamed at me for cheating on my diet and how I was going to "gain all the weight back" and insisted she eat some of it to "help me out." She left behind a tiny morsel of the cookie with a chocolate chip chunk. FML
Today, as I'm 7 months pregnant and craving sweets, I helped myself to my MIL's birthday cake a little early. The family got so angry, they actually made me leave the party. My husband agreed with them. FML
Today, I got told I was too fat and needed to stop eating, because I need to lose weight. I was then given a full plate of food and had to eat it all. FML
Today, my mom signed me up for Weight Watchers as a surprise birthday present. FML
Today, my niece offered me a slice of cake. After I refused, she asked, "Why not? Aren't fat people always hungry?" FML
Today, while at my mom’s house, my mom told me that I need to seriously curb my food intake. Then I went to my dad’s house and he told me I need to gain weight. I can’t win here. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

O.o Your parents obviously don't know what the hell they're doing then. I'm 6'4" and 150 even, and I'm told I'm pretty damn underweight. Yet I eat and eat and can't gain weight. So I'm pretty much allowed anything I want. Some kind of medical reason that you aren't allowed the cake?

Oh gosh! Your BMI states that you're almost underweight, so the fact that they're trying to make you watch your weight is absolutely ridiculous. :(

They probably like the underweight you and wanted to make sure you're gonna stay that way.. Sick :S Show your parents your BMI and tell them to shove that celery up their ***.

Wow, that's not even close to overweight... something must be wrong with them... also, I posted my other comment before I knew the OP had replied, so disregard the fat-free ice cream suggestion. You could get away with eating the whole cake and it would be fine, I don't know what your parents are so worried about. o_O

Wow, I'm 5'5" and 175 and my parents are chill with me eating cake because I don't LOOK fat. Not that they would care enough to throw out a nice birthday cake even if I was! That's cruel
