Today, after months of exercise and diets and finally reaching my ideal weight, I told my morbidly obese cousin about my success, hoping to motivate him to do the same. He replied, "Why would it matter, you're still ugly." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I overheard my ripped, handsome, genetically perfect brother telling my mom how "fat people" make him "nervous". I have only recently accepted my weight, after struggling for years. I now understand why my brother rarely talks to me. FML
Today, my cousin asked me what it's like to be so fat. I chastised him and said that was a rude thing to ask. He apologized, then asked me what it's like to be such a pussy. He didn't stop until he, a 10 year-old kid, had reduced me, a 26 year-old woman, to tears. FML
Today, I saw my uncle after six months. The first thing he says to me is, 'I didn't even recognize you! You've gained so much weight.' Gee thanks uncle. Just what I wanted to hear. 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, a coworker complimented me on losing weight, and said that she wished she could drop a few pounds too. I was too embarrassed to tell her that the only reason I've lost weight is because I haven't been able to afford to eat. FML
Today, after losing twenty pounds to please my husband, the only comment I received was, "At least now only your personality sucks." FML
Today, I was having a race with a little kid. I let him win to make him feel like a champion. After the race, he turned to me and said, "Maybe if you weren't so fat you would have won." 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 proudly told my family I lost 15 pounds. My dad looked me up and down and said, "Well, you've got a looooong way to go." FML
Today, I officially completed my weight loss journey, only for my wife, who'd previously threatened to divorce me if I didn't lose weight, to tell me that she realized she liked me better when I was fat and that "you don't know what you have until it's gone." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least OP would survive a zombie apocalypse

Sounds just like my best friend.. I have been losing weight and getting healthier and she has been nothing but negative to me because she doesn't want me to be smaller than her. You never realize the true nature of people until you start changing for the better.

Lol... Should've had a v8

I understand that she just wanted to help but if you go up to someone who weighs a lot more than you and tell them about your weight loss, it might have just come off as bragging. maybe he was just getting defensive? (abeit in a really mean way)

@42 You have to be able to pull your own weight before you can pull bitches.

You cousin is really rude... Good job OP your awesome for doing that! And it sounds like she doesn't want to try cause she knows she'll still be ugly.

Umm... Both are male. >_>"

I think like he was just trying to have his cousins best interest at heart. Not at all bragging

Op might have had his cousin's best interest at heart, but to someone overweight... I am sure he has heard the same song and dance before. Op comes up to him, saying "look at how fit I am, you should be like me" and of course he would react in a negative way.

I thought fat people were supposed to be jolly

ya I don't think we know the whole story op. if you normally brag about yourself then you sound annoying and I'd say the same thing to you if you were telling me how much weight youve lost. no one likes a cocky stuck up person always throwing their success in your face.

What's that I smell? A hater with hint of BBQ sauce from last nights mcdonalds

Actually there's not a single state in the union where it's illegal to have sex with or marry a first cousin. As of a year or so ago, at least.

Awe, The stench of Hateraide is strong with this one. No worries OP Hatets make you famous. Oh look, you're already published. lolz.

And he will still be fat. Jealously is a terrible thing.

Unhappy people try to make others unhappy. Congrats on your success. I hope your cousin finds his motivation.

Why did you tell your morbidly obese cousin though? OP if you bragged to him to make him feel worse for being out of shape, then you deserve it.

Try reading the FML a second time.
Zebediabolical 45
Just because OP thought he was motivating the cousin doesn't mean the cousin didn't take it as an attack. People are ****** in the head.
Sirin_fml 47
That doesn't mean that the OP was in fact bragging to make him feel worse.

I agree #13 -- OP may have thought he was motivating but it could easily have come across as bragging. We don't know what his cousin was thinking.

One mans motivating is another mans bragging.
