Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Family time
Today, my parents decided to go on a diet. This would be perfectly fine if they didn’t insist I go on one too. I weigh less than 90 pounds and am underweight for my height. FML

Today, my parents came for a visit and spent the whole time pressuring me to ask my doctor for medication to lose weight. FML

Skinny love
Today, despite begging my parents to get food other than diet and weight loss stuff, they refused. I'm bullied for being skinny on a daily basis. FML

Today, while at my mom’s house, my mom told me that I need to seriously curb my food intake. Then I went to my dad’s house and he told me I need to gain weight. I can’t win here. FML

Today, I told my parents that I was going on a diet to lose weight and I wanted their support. They brought home donuts and pizza for dinner. FML

Keeping up appearances
Today, my seven-year-old told me to lose weight. Her reason? There's a family fun day coming up at her school and she is embarrassed. FML

Hangry people
Today, my parents yelled at me for ordering too much fast food. The only reason I’m doing it is because there isn’t any food in the house. Not only that but I’m also trying to gain weight. FML

Mixed signals
Today, I got told I was too fat and needed to stop eating, because I need to lose weight. I was then given a full plate of food and had to eat it all. FML

Today, my father told me that my mental health issues, which have been confirmed by multiple doctors and tests, are all caused by the fact that I'm slightly overweight and don't exercise a lot. FML

Kids are assholes to each other
Today, I have discovered that my daughter is struggling with anorexia. When I sat down to talk with her about it, she said it’s because, "all the other kids at school keep calling her fat." She was underweight before, and has now gone to being severely underweight. FML

That's because you live in one of them socialist countries where the gubbermint has a vested interest in your health. The US is a free country where we have the liberty to get early-onset diabetes and heart disease. Those are good for business. If schools had to call the parents of all of the fatties, they'd need to hire more full-time staff!

It isn't mentioned if it's over- or underweight, also Sweden isn't a socialist country :)

I think it sucks more that your parents needed the school to call them before they realized you had a problem with your weight. Otherwise, you should be happy they care and want healthy students. Bad habits as a kid turn out into worst habits as an adult. Good luck!
