Today, after years of training myself to crave healthier foods in order to lose weight, I found out that some of my favorite health foods actually aggravate my hypothyroidism, and indirectly reduce my metabolism. Broccoli and soybeans are making me fat. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was trying to exercise to lose weight but I got terrible bloating. Turns out that’s a common response, because the body thinks it’s being stressed. This is right after being diagnosed with allergies to some vegetables. I’m trying to be healthy, I swear. My body won’t let me. FML
Today, despite feeling healthier than ever, losing fat, gaining muscle and having perfect blood results, my morbidly obese relatives keep telling me that my new vegan diet is "unhealthy". FML
Today, I had a food allergy test done because of an ugly acne upswing, and after over a year of vegetarianism, I find out that I'm allergic to soy. FML
Today, dieting is making me depressed and I'm so hungry. I don't even care about losing weight, but my boyfriend is and he's doing a low fat diet with me for my health, so I'm going to do the low calorie thing with him. I also feel like I'm not doing well enough in the gym and it's hurting so bad. FML
Today, after years of my very poor diet finally resulted in a long overdue health scare, I declared I must try to live healthier. Also today, I was reminded of my hypersensitive gag reflex (I'm autistic), which causes my body to vehemently protest the consumption of a variety of healthy foods. This sucks. FML
Today, I went to see a "Weight loss Manager." When I told her that I have a slow thyroid at the of age 29, she excitedly explained that it's all in my head, and that I gain weight because of the food I eat. I'm a healthcare professional and I think I went to see a quack. FML
Today, everything I eat makes me sick, so I don't know what to eat anymore now. My BMI is low and I'm absolutely starving. I can't even eat rice. FML
Today, after drastically changing my diet, going to the gym regularly, avoiding excess sugar and carbs, upping my protein, I’m still as fat as ever. In fact I weighed myself this morning, and I’ve gained 12lbs in 2 weeks. FML
Today, after a year of diet and rigorous exercise, I've still gained weight. Confused, I went to my doctor. Apparently I have a thyroid condition he forgot to mention, and therefore haven't been on medication for, thus causing weight gain. FML
Today, I found out the medications my doctor gave me for depression are making me fat. My main reason for depression is an eating disorder. Now, I'm fat instead of just thinking I am. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I always knew my parents were wrong when they told me to eat my broccoli!

I don't understand how people like those.... Just so gross... :/

I haven't had one in about 30 years so maybe I'm forgetting how gross they are. Do they still mold the compressed pork into a shape where it looks like the rib bone has been removed? I'm probably going to have to try one now, damn you!

Awesome_squash, I looked at your pic, and I have to be truthful. I was at the same time turned on, but a little bit disgusted. Your **** look great, but your six-pack looks kinda masculine. The definition around your hips was not pleasing, either. I'm sure it's a lot of hard work and sacrifice to get there, and you are to be commended for that. I just don't find it that attractive. Sorry.

Yup! Some guys are stupid!!!! The stupid ones just have a low self worth! Find a guy who appreciates!

I'm sorry you felt the need to change your profile pic. I think if you put on about 5 lbs (no more), you'd be spectacular. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, but I thought the display of your pic and description of it might mean you would like comments. I could have easily drooled all over it, but I thought you deserve honesty. Keep in mind that is just one guy's opinion. Others might prefer such definition.

If your boyfriend prefers those skinny twigs, he's missing out. Don't get discouraged! :)

Meal plans ate stupid and overly complicated. Eat only when physically hungry

I dunno about you, but I eat when I'm spiritually hungry. Don't lump all of us into the same category! |the kid|

Anything in the cabbage family will reduce thyroid function if you don't cook it. I'm guessing you ate it raw? Give avocados a try--they help up it a tiny bit :o)

Ya know, you took the right step in trying to slim down. I'm sure if you just find out what works, you'll be down a few lbs in no time
