Today, I met my cousin after two years. She got really tall and skinny, like a model. I joked saying, "You've grown and gotten slim, and I've stayed the same and have gotten fat." I expected some sort of disagreement. Instead, she looked me up and down, frowned, and gave me a long, sympathetic hug. FML

Well that's what you get for fishing for compliments. :/

Agree with #1... I hate it when girls do that, if you are fat don't expect people to be like "Nooo, you're super skinny blah blah blah"... It is just annoying...

How do you NOT deserve this? Agreed with #1.

people do this all the time. it's so annoying. they compliment you not cuz they rly want to but cuz they want u to say something good about them back. if you're fat ur fat man.. the sooner u accept it the earlier u can start doing something about it. and another thing.. if ur seeking attention ... ppl may say to ur face "aww u are okay.. ur not that big" behind ur back their saying ur fat.

looks like you went on a fishing expedition but instead your boat sank

You put yourself in that situation.

yup totally agree with 108. you could have just not said anything. well lesson learned hopefully. that does suck tho.

OP: Not having seen you, I can't make assumptions about your figure, but if you wanted a compliment it's probably best to stop after saying something nice about her, that way she can return the favour by commenting on your best feature. To everyone saying it's the person's own fault for being fat: I would say that depends on when the person becomes fat. If a child is fat, that's their parents' fault. Children shouldn't have to worry about what they eat, that's their parents' responsibility. By the time the children should be taking some responsibility, if they've been fed junk all their life, they're going to be overweight and it's going to be difficult to fix. For my own part, I'm a little torn as to how to fix that. Yes, it wasn't their fault, and over a certain weight it is very hard to lose it by themselves, but if all, or even a fraction, of the money that goes into weight-loss centres were to be put into centres for hereditary diseases like Huntington's or CF, which are no-one's fault and will give you a much lower quality of life than obesity... Hard to say.

Oh get over it. Who cares? Is this supposed to make people feel better about their lives? Because quite frankly, I'm sad that you felt compelled enough to write this as an FML when other people have REAL things that go terribly in their lives each day. Fail

Wow, really? Admittedly the OP kind of set herself up for it. But the people saying "Put down the fork." are just ridiculous. Despite popular belief, over-eating isn't the only way people get overweight. There's this thing called genetics. Perhaps you should look into it. The body has this thing called a 'set point' which is decided by genetics - meaning, it tries to keep itself at a certain weight no matter what you do. Also this thing called metabolism. Some people can't eat anything they want and stay skinny because their metabolism is slower than others. Quit being ignorant. OP, well... it was sort of a set-up. But don't listen to the other commentors, they don't know what they're talking about.
