Overthinking it
Today, I spent an hour photoshopping my face onto super skinny models as inspiration for a diet. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was online looking up ways to lose weight, get thinner and be healthier, all the while eating a slab of brownie that was half the size of my head. FML
Today, after I completely starved myself for a week and exercised every day in an attempt to lose weight, I instead gained 5 pounds. FML
Today, I discovered that a company has been using a photo of me for one of those "she lost 50 pounds" online ads. I'm the "before" photo. FML
Today, I discovered I am the "before picture" in an internet weight loss advert. FML
Today, I met one of my favorite fitness models. She told me I need to get in shape. I weigh 150lbs. FML
Today, my friends and I were messing around with an app on my phone that makes your picture look fat. My picture looked the same before and after. FML
Today, my friend found a picture of herself on a website filled with pictures of thin people. I was in the picture, also. I was crossed-out with the word, "EWW" written next to me. FML
Today, I saw a weight loss 'before and after' advertisement and I wished I could at least look like the 'before'. FML
Today, even though I’m very careful, my modeling agency said that I’d put on weight. FML
Today, I found out why my colleagues make me stand on the far left or far right of group photos. It’s so they could edit me out, because apparently me being obese “ruins” the photo. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If that's what really motivates you, then I see nothing wrong.

Wow.. Please get some help. Btw, super skinny models are frowned upon these days. Just get healthy. Not skinny.

As long as it motivates you.

Yeah, but at least he's getting motivated to go on a diet. That's step one. I congratulate you, OP, you're making a decision that will help you for the rest o your life :)

22 - I ate them

24 u fat now? If u are, don't eat yourself !!

Ah, I'm sad that girls still want to be extremely skinny when healthy always looks better anyways.. Being a chubster when I was in middle school and early high school, I can relate but I just decided to start eating better and getting out more. Victoria's Secret models- perfect example of healthy.

#47, I am sorry but V.S. models are not healthy unless it is healthy to not know the long term effects of newly designed beauty treatments, botox for example was once all the rage until discovered it's really unhealthy, and pump them into their skin. Also only one I have seen to date looks healthy, the Brazilian one with the boobs. If you're in H.S. i guess they look healthy, and that is why they are not considered real women. #33, people may thumb you down but I did that irl. When I started falling off my diet after losing 108 lbs and gaining back fifteen I felt really bad, like horrible. My mom sent me a pic of old me from a few years ago to make me feel better. I have lost weight since. OP, we all do that.... oh wait no just you sorry. I have a genetic disorder that makes me gain weight and I did it, no surgery no diet pills. You wanna know the real trick pm me, I don't want to post up here with the hateraters. BTW, my wish is to be as thin as them too, one of my absolute biggest wishes. Then I realizes wishes are just that, wishes. I will never have small enough bones to look like them, and it's kinda hard to lose bone weight, so I deal. You'll have to too. Find a more realistic standard. I got a friend who happened to be model thin, but we went to see a physical trainer and I was told I could diet and exercise as long and hard as I wanted but it wasn't gonna happen. Surrounding yourself with people you want to emulate I found to be key. Oh and for everyone that said men don't like the model thin type, my model thin friend I mentioned earlier is vastly more popular with men than any other woman I know including myself. They don't just like it, for most (not all) of them it's their wish to have a girl like that, or movie stars would still look like Monroe.

Hmm...maybe she's just more popular with the guys because she has a better personality? Unless she literally goes out in a fat suit and all of a sudden all the guys flee you can't attribute her attractiveness on her waistline alone. I fully agree with acknowledging your biological limits, yet not using it as an excuse to not work hard to be healthy. But a skinny supermodel should never be anyone's inspiration. For all we know OP is actually quite healthy now and is staring at images of women with their skin taut over their ribcage.

55, thumbs down for the overly long comment. ? It's so long, I couldn't hit the thumbs down button.

There should be more models the size of Marilyn Monroe. She's was a goddess as well as a plus size.

There seems to be a correlation between women who are above average weight and skewed beliefs on what a healthy weight is. Please end the obnoxious ramblings on those who maintain their weight and clarify to us what you deem to be a healthy weight. Not a fan of the skinny bashing when it's so predictable who's playing doctor.

#55. your story made me tired after the first sentence.

i agree... i dated a larger girl, who was absolutely beautiful, and healthy. she was nowhere near being overweight or underweight. she must be bulimic or anorexic, since she is so skinny now, and she looks terrible.

That's just going to make you depressed. I'm not saying you can't lose the weight, but staring at those photoshopped pictures is just going to make you more willing to reach for the ice cream. Or the Cheetos. Ugh, that's a lovely combination, isn't it?
elementalz 2
Which type of Cheetos these are questions that need to be asked?

Your just awful at this thing aren't you?

At what? :)

#7 must have probably failed trying to photoshop himself getting laid. I'm sorry #7 but could you please refrain from spreading your stupidity to others? Tyvm.
cheeeeeeers 3
In all your comments your a dick. Go look in the mirror, I'm sure you have a harder time getting laid than her:)

The hour spent on editing could have been spent on exercising while looking at a pic of a model...
Dontstealmyname 11
OP needed something to help her get motivated to start exercising. Nothing's wrong with that. Just a headstart!
Matty1188 6
You do know the photos were already Photoshopped, right? Pictures of models are never left as they are. Please don't hold yourself to an impossible standard. Focus on your health and not your weight.
SimpleMinds_fml 7
Yeah seriously nobody expects you to look like a fake, over edited super model. Stop dreaming about getting fit and do it. The lack of will power in people these days is sad.
