Today, when I visited my grandmother at her nursing home, I was looking at pictures she had of all the grandkids. All were normal graduation pictures etc. but mine was a cutout where she made me skinnier. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my grandmother said to me, "You look just like your mother did at your age. Except you're fatter of course." FML
Today, my grandma commented on my Facebook profile picture: "That's a great photo! It doesn't look anything like you!" FML
Today, my mom wanted to send me a picture of me at graduation, saying that I looked pretty in it. It was a picture of a different girl; definitely not me. Way to go, mom. FML
Today, I asked my grandmother what she looked like when she was young. She casually replied, "I was ugly, sweetie. Just like you." FML
Today, I sent my grandfather a picture of me because he hasn't seen me in years. I guess I should wear makeup next time, because he sent back a heavily photoshopped and cropped version and told me how beautiful I look. FML
Today, I went over to visit my sister. She had a bunch of pictures of me on her wall. I thought it was sweet, but a bit odd. Turns out she looks at pictures of me to motivate herself whenever she doesn’t feel like working out. FML
Today, we spent the day with my grandmother. During a family conversation, my sweet little grandmother looked me up and down, and without any hesitation said, "I remember you being so beautiful," before looking at my mother, mouthing, "What happened?" and laughing. She's 87. FML
Today, I proudly gave my grandma a picture I had drawn for her. She didn't seem thrilled with it, and afterwards the rest of my family seemed upset. Nobody could fathom why I drew grandma a picture of a graveyard for her 85th birthday. It was suppose to be a bridge. FML
Today, we had a group of friends over, as well as my grandma. She started talking about me when I was a kid, when I suddenly heard her saying, "Well, yeah, she wasn’t a beautiful child, not at all, she looked.… OK." FML
Today, I had to cancel my plans to go see my grandma, because I wasn't feeling too well. I called her to apologize, but she had trouble remembering who I was. When I told her my name, she said "Oh, the FAT one." Yes grandma, the fat one. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

at least it's not like me my grandma doesn't have one picture of me anywhere in her house. and she's never asked for one and she has never taken a picture of me at least your grandma cares enough to have pictures of you even if she wishes you were skinny

i miss my grandmother. She passed on in dec. So she wants you to loose weight. It may be due to her wanting you to be healthy. Maybe you remind her of her childhoood self. don't assume the worst.

Tell her you have a picture of her, but you edited out the wrinkles to make her look younger. And at #3, get over it.

#2 and #5, she is hurt by this. It's very clear that neither of you is overweight, and have no idea what it is like to have people criticize your weight. It is one of the worst feelings you could ever know. If her grandmother wants her to be healthy, she could say something, instead of doctoring a photo of her to make her look how she wishes she looks. Her grandmother should accept her the way that she is. PS: I don't know what the person who posted this looks like, so idk if you're overweight, or if your grandmother is just being rude.

yea, sounds like my grandma. she lives hours from my family and I, and one time the first thing she said when we went to visit her was "wow, this family could use to loose some weight". thanks grams, nice to see you after 6 months too. don't let it get you down!
