Today, my very handsome, fit, Russian boyfriend tried to make me feel better about being a little overweight by telling me, "It's okay, you're American, everyone expects you to be fat." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was hanging out with my boyfriend. Everything seemed to be going well, when all of a sudden he turned to look at me with a pensive and thoughtful expression. I expected him to say something important, but instead he just said, "I was wondering, how does it feel to be fat?" FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I gained a few pounds and thought I looked fat. He replied that I looked the same and that I shouldn't worry because he likes fat girls. I never thought I was fat before this. FML
Today, I was talking to my boyfriend about how I'm self conscious about my weight. He looks at me and says, "Don't worry babe, I've always been kind of a chubby chaser." FML
Today, my boyfriend sent me a text that said, "I can't be seen with you anymore. You're too fat." FML
Today, while having dinner with my boyfriend's family, his mom told me that it looks like I've gained quite some weight. When my boyfriend told her that this was a rude thing to say, she said it wasn't rude, just the truth. FML
Today, a Russian guy came up to me on the train and informed me that I look exactly like a typical Russian woman. He then went on to explain that I even had enough fat to survive their cold winters. FML
Today, I was telling my boyfriend about how self conscious I am and how I obsess about my weight. He said, "Don't be ridiculous, you don't need to lose THAT much weight." FML
Today, my chunky boyfriend told me that he'd be less attracted to me if I gained weight. I have low self-esteem. FML
Today, several Ukrainians didn't believe me when I said I was American. Apparently I'm not fat enough. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because I'm now about 15 pounds overweight. When I called him a hypocrite as he's over 40 pounds overweight, he said that his weight didn't matter because "it's the girl's job to look hot." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I guess people assume Americans are fat like they assume Canada is a barren winter wonderland where the inhabitants live in igloos, ride moose and polar bears, and are governed by Tim Hortons. :P

Watch Harry Potter. Both the guy who played Vernon and the guy who played Hagrid are overweight (well, were in the case of the first guy, as he passed away this year)

Ok rushiee you are starting to get obnoxious. As if Americans are the only ones that do that. And no it is not proven that Russians have high metabolism. I don't know where you're getting your facts lady. But stop trying to bring Americans down in every post you make. Every country has their fits (not anorexic, liposuction, all the things you listed, etc) and their fatties. Granted that Americans do have overweight issues, but calm the hell down. You are getting so worked up about it.

HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA got served by a Russkie. The sad part is that for the most part, that stereotype is actually true, but then again all stereotypes have some truth in them

^ This. After traveling overseas and then returning home, or hell, even just seeing a bunch of American tourists while overseas, everyone looks so bloated. You can kinda see in facial features what people *should* look like, but... Same goes for grocery stores and WalMarts. I've seen expat friends get completely overwhelmed upon "reentry;" it's like a product overload.

Funny how usually when someone posts a 'I'm overweight'-FML, everybody is up in arms of how he or she sucks and should lose some ******* weight. Insult the US and it's okay to be too fat, because all Russians are evil. So ironic!

Americans are only the second fattest country around... Mexico is worse... learn your statistics... Then again, a bit of US Bash is always fun, but even that gets boring in the long run... :)

And here we go again with you racist *****. First: I've made many trips to Mexico since I was a child, and the fattest person that I saw there was not even close to the ones here. So take that stick out your ass, be a man, and admit that our country has the highest level of obesity. FYI: Mexicans tend to not eat fast food a lot. They eat homemade meals. Second: Believe me, Mexico has received many more bashes than the U.S.
