Today, when my boyfriend reffered to my hair, I told him I was going to dye it. He responded by saying, "finally, so how much you going for, 40, maybe 50 pounds?". I said dye it, not diet. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I decided to dye my hair to freshen up my appearance. I asked my husband for his opinion, expecting him to recommend a color. He then asked me why going on a diet wasn't my first option. FML
Today, while watching TV with my boyfriend, I was telling him that I wasn't looking forward to "getting older" and turning thirty in three days. Five minutes later, he said, "I never knew you had so much grey hair already" and then offered to help me dye them. FML
Today, I had my hair done for the first time in 3 years. I loved it. My boyfriend told me I look like his ex. FML
Today, my therapist told me that I need to do something different with my hair. Then I paid her. FML
Today, I dyed my hair back to pastel pink, which it hasn't been in over a year. It goes well with my skin and I was super excited about it so I decided to Snapchat my friend about it. Her response? "You were thinner last time your hair looked like that." FML
Today, my boyfriend of 6 months started a bitter fight with me. The cause was me repeatedly refusing to dye my hair the way his beloved ex did. FML
Today, I went to go get a haircut and I asked how much it was for a haircut, shampoo, and a blow job. I meant to say blow dry. FML
Today, my husband threw a fit because I dyed my hair bright magenta. Funny, I actually dyed it three days ago. He literally just noticed. Shows how much attention he pays me. FML
Today, my fiancé and I had a fight because he wouldn't let me get what I wanted to eat, even though it was my money. He said, "It's way too many calories. I'm supposed to help you lose weight." When I pointed out that I had given up a month ago, he looked at me and said, "Yeah, I can tell." FML
Today, after months of my (now ex) boyfriend telling me he wished I was blonde with big boobs, I finally retaliated with "I wish you were a redhead with a big dick, but you don't see me complaining." He cried and said I should love him for who he is. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's when you respond with, "Actually, I meant dye-it, as in my hair. But you're right, I DO need to lose weight - about 250* lbs of it. In other words: it's over. Get.out." *or whatever boyfriend's weight is

I can't stand that people act like she's committed some horrible sin for not being a size 2. If it's easy for all of you to be skinny, that's really awesome, but for some of us it's a real struggle. I've been fighting to stay a size 8 since I was in my early teens, because I just lost the genetic lottery and got a sucky metabolism. I don't stuff my face (I actually also have IBS, so I can't eat very greasy or rich things), and I'm very sensitive about because I can't stand when I'm feeling down about my weight and people act like I've made some conscious decision to not be a stick. That's not how it works. So shut the **** up. And OP, this guy is an ass, dump him. I'm lucky enough to have a cute boyfriend who doesn't like women with the physique of small boys. The one really awesome thing about not being a size 2: I have boobs. :D

You're right, #48/9. For most of the US, the chances are only about 25-30% that the OP is actually obese, with a BMI > 30. So odds are, if we were in Vegas, we might safely bet that she is not obese. If we're betting whether or not they're overweight, and assuming they live in the US, the safe bet is on "yes". So if we're playing the odds, she's probably *not* normal weight. What you're describing in the last paragraph of #48 is called the obesity paradox when it's studied in large populations (heh - pun not intended, but I'm leaving it anyway). There's a bit of debate as to whether the data really supports that contention (except in individual cases - sure, skinny people can be sickly and fat people can be healthy, but "Joe's fine and he weighs like 1000 pounds!" isn't exactly a good reason to eat a bowl of butter.)

i'm with #26 on why people are more overweight than ever and why the diabetes rate in the US is off the charts that was rude of your bf but not necessarily dumping material

Wow, if you could do to lose 40 or 50 pounds you must be very obese. Do yourself a favour and lose weight.

To number #10 - Girls that are excessively skinny are as big a turn-off for most guys as girls that are very overweight. Girls in the middle are what are really attractive. As for that whole 'personality' bullshit that gets thrown around a lot; yes personality is very important, but looks are important too. If a girl has a great personality but I'm not at all attracted to her, why would I date her? And since you said 'our throats' I'm assuming you're fat. Very fat. No one likes to be confused as to whether they're in a roll or inside you. Lose weight.

40 or 50 pounds? Jesus, lose some damn weight. Yes, your (ex?)boyfriend was rude, but still FYL for not taking care of your body.

Unless you're over 6 feet, being 40 or 50 pounds overweight is pretty bad. Lets assume you're average - 5'6" or so, you should be no more than 150. That is definitely not stick. Why don't guys just accept fat people? Because it's not natural, or healthy. They can't satisfy the same because if I don't like looking at you, why would I want to spend time with you? They also suffer from pretty huge cases of "it's not my fault". Who's fault is it then? I guarantee you, if you get the recommended 40 minutes of exercise a day (real exercise - not walking around the house), and eat 1200-1500 calories a day, you will lose weight. it doesn't matter what your genetics are, if calories burned > calories eaten, you will lose weight.

I call shenanigans...its a joke from the movie 'the santa clause' with Tim Allen. The doctor says it.
