Today, I stepped on the scale and realized that I weigh more than the amount of money that I have in my bank account. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, stepping on a scale for the first time in years, I had to lift up my stomach to see the number. FML
Simple answer
Today, while getting ready for work, I realized that all my pants were getting a bit tight. When I got home from work, I went in to the bathroom and stood on the scale, which confirmed that I have gained a few pounds. I then realized that I was eating while standing on the scale. FML
The indignity
Today, I stepped on the scale this morning and it actually shattered beneath my feet. FML
Today, I stepped on the scale because I'm trying to maintain a good weight. The scale read that I had lost 6 pounds. Feeling really good about myself, I stepped off the scale only to see that the corner of the scale was sitting on the rug, making the scale mess up and tell me the wrong weight. FML
Waiting for that trickle down
Today, I looked at my bank balance. It read $1.23. That's higher than it usually is. FML
Today, after taking a shower, I decided to weigh myself. Curious, I peered down. I couldn't see the scale. I am fat. FML
Today, when I weighed myself on my scale, it broke. FML
Today, I found out that I've been using a "Trick Scale" that my family bought to boost my self esteem so I'd think I was losing weight. I found this out at my physical, where I learned I have actually gained ten pounds. FML
Rock Bottom Riser
Today I realized that my boyfriend has more money on his Metro card than I have in my entire bank account. FML
Today, I noticed that I've gained so much weight that even my feet have stretch marks. FML

But you live in the States! You don't keep pounds in the bank! The Brits do that. Or do you weigh 250 dollars?

That's terrifying.

Your picture describes the situation quite well.
tomhofer 14
Some of us are not very wealthy I'd say this applies to me too
JennaNGood 21
I always weigh more then what I have in my bank account.. Real broke girl over here
kenleybunch 15
It's terrifying that this is basically my everyday life.. and I'm not overweight.

Well if it is 10 cents coins on your account, then yeah you can start worrying...
Steve95401 49
At least the number on your scale is in pounds, rather than kilograms. That would be 2.2 times worse.
moonboobs 4
Ah, you have a credit card?
WatsonIsThatDood 6
Wow Steve. You are right
maz_irken 6
I have to agree with this, and I weigh 112.

Time to sell yourself

So is your picture 1

I weigh 100 and..well...I find a dollar here and there.
nutcrackers 2
What would i prefer; overweight and more money, or proper weight and less money? Hmm... That's a hard one.
Kn0wledge123 21
I weight about 130 lbs and have -$35 in my account. Nothing major.
Rickilynn1 10
you guys all realize that muscle weighs more than fat, right? OP could be very muscular and still weigh almost 300lbs
XxFA1LxX 4
not really. I only have $50 in the bank..

~Well I hope you are a fat shit OP!~
accioshannon 17
Even if OP was a fat shit (say, 350 lbs?), that's not much.
DKParth13 5
No!
LiterOfCola 16
Thank you for being so logical, #15. As I'm too dumb to understand what numbers mean and my comment was not a joke, I assumed OP had at least a couple thousand in their bank account. C'mon I even used the "~" !
Meettitan 14
Tildes are sarcasm tags now?
LiterOfCola 16
It was on a previous FMLs comments; people said to start establishing a sarcasm font type thing where you enclose the sentence in ~s. I want it to catch on so I've put it in the top comments like three times haha
TyroneeBiggums 3
Tildes; what a cool word.
PoseidonsSon 3
Quite.
Feedmyaddiction5 14
350 lbs is a lot unless you are like 6'9"
ihaveFMLfeverr 5
Someone please like 2's comment, the number 159 bothers me. It's has to be 160
gc327072 31
182- there, I made it 158. Trololololo
LiterOfCola 16
Gc I feel betrayed!
jjmoraes99 13
sometimes ~yes~
softballlover98 4
You're either very fat or very poor
lolkaela 6
Or both.
oj101 33
I hope the OP has less than $150/ $120 if its a girl. Honestly, $1000 doesn't really go that far these days, but would be unnaturally, and excessively huge for a person.
buck33 14
60 - Really? I was thinking OP has a few thousand.
TourettesGuyFTW 26
Well you know what they say: mo' money, mo' problems.....mo' McDonalds!
buck33 14
90 - If only no money no problems was true as well.. Except I do like Mcdonalds.
SammyS2012 21
Well I weigh 115 lbs, that's still more than my bank account D: But I'm a college student, so being poor is expected! :D
chrissy2 28
same here 118. I'm a college student and I weight 120. I would be lucky to even have 30 bucks in my bank account...
HaraAishi 8
I feel the same way. I border 160 and have .85 in my account. Gah. I hate not having money.
opalescent 5
Yup, same here 118. I'm underweight and have not broken my weight yet this quarter even getting tons of assistance. Working more next quarter, hopefully I'll break $100. Maybe.
DubstepMasta 18
Lol i am a 115 pound 5'5" eighth grader and have a lot more than my weight in the bak... But then again, I don't have to pay rent or anything so...
DocBastard 40
But you live in the States! You don't keep pounds in the bank! The Brits do that. Or do you weigh 250 dollars?
Meettitan 14
U.S. paper bills weigh a gram each. What if she meant weight in change though?........
TheDrifter 24
And here my brain was bring simple and just came to the conclusion that OP did international currency conversions in their head for fun when checking their bank balance.
efrainelboricua 12
Or maybe she has coins. Pennies weight adds up quick but the value is low.
FML_Master2133 6
Whoever disliked 31 is probably just bad at math.
annie_nk 23
Doc has a new profile picture. I can't tell what it is...
JBChristian 47
Why not just go with the weight of a gold dollar or a silver dollar? Much faster to get one of those's weight then take the weight of a penny and multiply it by a hundred.
RochelleRedvines 8
Hey, me too. Freaking Black Friday.
COOL__Coal 12
Black Friday made you fat?
moonboobs 4
No, Black Friday made her poor. Thanksgiving made her fat.
speckledots 29
So do I. Damn. Way to bring to my attention just how broke I am OP.
unknown_user5566 27
I think you're the only one calling attention to your own financial situation.
FML_Master2133 6
It's not that bad. Over half the world weighs less than their bank account, or (if they don't have one like in 3rd world countries) any of their money at all! So, be thankful you can pay for food.
speckledots 29
since when is it bad to relate your life to OP'S? because I'm pretty sure I see it all the time. I wasn't taking attention away from op or taking the spotlight if you will. Its called relating.
speckledots 29
Also 105 I didn't disclose my entire financial situation. so since you mentioned it, I can't actually afford food either. And before I get crap about a job I can't get one. I lost mine due to disability.
evig_fml 16
Thanks for the life story.
LadyCarter89 6
142 - I don't mean to poke holes through your story, but if you can't afford food then how can you afford Internet/phone bill to be on FML?
speckledots 29
Its a family phone plan. I've been on the contract for years and paid by own part until a few months ago when the accident happened that lead to my disability. My family also refuses to take my phone off the plan even though I can't pay it right now because I need my phone "incase something else happens."
onlychildFTW 34
I like food. It's good.
LiterOfCola 16
What a bullshit story. You can't legally be fired and cut off because of your disability, so that's obviously not true. If it is, you should take a government class to know your rights. And if you have the time to make these comments, you have the time to do something about your situation regardless.
fmldude79 3
Eww your gross speck..no wonder
OldMemoriesFade 8
Time to work out, and start saving... The sooner you start the better..
norotors 16
Food is expensive.
deadlydeathhound 3
You can't save and loose weight at the same time... Healthy food is expensive and so are gyms :P
mcrepas 19
Push ups don't cost a dime neither does running. Healthy foods are expensive, but most of the time just cutting back on amounts and liquid calories does the trick. No excuse for being a fatty.
SillyGirl4602 23
Just because she weighs more than what she has in her bank account it does not mean she/he is fat. It could just mean that they are broke.
jojimugo 20
Much change is needed in your life OP, good thing is the first step is recognizing you have a problem
vatty_196 0
Nah I think change is no good. Bills on the other hand
accioshannon 17
I spent a while trying to think of a pounds-weight vs. pounds-currency joke, but it just wasn't working.
monstersocks 5
it's the thought that counts
ryry013 6
The thought that counts, you're right. It's different though when you bring your unfinished thought to us as a final product.
silvercamaro 22
Had to think about this for a second, reminds me of the scale and the phone # joke
