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

Damn Americans for being fat!!! who looks at the index the put out to determine if ur fat or not? it's mostly geared to white people because people of color are naturally curvy. just stop eating fast foods and cut out the sodas. plus working out a little won't hurt u. being healthy is not about how much u weigh cuz if u are muscular, you'll weigh more anyways cuz muscle weighs more then fat.

The worst is that the OP's boyfriend is right. There is a stereotype about Americans being fat. And that's based on the numbers, since the amount of obese people in the US is much higher than in the other countries.

i have a russian that will get EXTREAMLY DRUNK on 3 beers or2 shots of cheap Vodka so he says he is a "heavy weight" in Russia while it takes me 12 shotgunned beers to feel buzzed and then another 17 to get "drunk drunk" or my height (6ft) in long island iced tea with a (3 inch) diameter to get me ****** up. i found that out the hard way in mexico, on a cruise, with my parents there, thinking i was a chick passed out until they got binocuars and saw me. with puke around me.
