Today, I finally lost enough weight to fit into the beautiful dress that I ordered for my senior prom. I graduated from high school in 2010. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my prom dress finally arrived. My prom was yesterday. FML
Today, after months of dieting, I finally reached my goal weight. Excitedly I told my boyfriend, who gave me a beautiful dress as an early Christmas present. It was a size too small. FML
Today, I finally got the wedding dress I've been waiting months to see. It turns out that my mom ordered the dress 2 sizes smaller than my size, this way it will be "an incentive to lose weight". FML
Today, marks my one hundredth pound loss. To celebrate, I put on my first backless dress I bought for this occasion. The dress fit great. Unfortunately, today also marks the realization that instead of inheriting my father's beautiful hazel eyes, the universe blessed me with his hard to get rid of back rolls instead. FML
Today, I was excited about my friend going wedding dress shopping, so before I went to go work out, I decided to try on a prom dress from high school to remember what it felt like to get dressed up. It was too tight, I broke the zipper, and spent 45 minutes trapped before I cut myself out. FML
Today, I received the beautiful dress I'd ordered on the internet. It's a size smaller than my usual, just to encourage me to lose weight. I managed to fit into it and wear it all day, but I've now been struggling for a couple of hours to remove it without tearing it to bits. FML
Today, I hung out with some old friends for the first time since losing about 50 pounds, going from clinically obese to a healthy weight. I even bought a cute new dress for the occasion to show off my new body. No one noticed the change. FML
Today, after losing 20 pounds, I decided to purchase new clothes. All of the clothes at the store were still too small for me. FML
Today, my dad informed me that my prom dress makes me look chubby from the side, gives me "back fat", and that I wouldn't want to go to prom looking like that. I tried to ignore his hurtful comments and tell myself I was beautiful. Then the clasp broke. FML
Today, I've lost so much weight from depression that I don't fit into women's clothing anymore. There's nothing like trying to find dress pants in the kids section. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Were you not fitted or took measurements for your dress? Or did you just make a hopeful guess? If the former, you should have returned it and demanded it refitted or a refund; if the latter, YDI. Either way, congrats on losing weight!

Did you order it smaller thinking it would motivate you into losing weight? If so, YDI kind of. If you fit into for your prom, then gained weight, then lost down to fit into the dress again, way to go.

On the bright side you're smaller now than you were in highschool. Many women would be ecstatic about that.

@42 Your weight doesn't define your health. I'm fat and healthy. My mother is thin with high blood pressure and several other health problems.

#43 generally speaking, overweight people have more health issues than those that stay in shape and/ or eat healthier. Weight isn't the only factor involved in a persons health, but usually it is a big indicator.

YDI because whatever the numbers, you need to buy the clothes that fit you.

Well the good news is you lost the weight, right?

Well, you finally did it. Thousands of other people are still fat and spend their time crying about some excuse for staying fat.

But they can change that you however will always be an ass.

Especially since results have shown that "fat-shaming" actually results in an increases in weight gain and health problems, whereas acceptance actually results in healthier habits and activities as a person doesn't have to deal with the hostility of people around them or even self-loathing, allowing them to put more energy into themselves.
