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?

Misery loves company. Don't let their jealousy get you down - be proud of yourself for reaching your goal! Congratulations , OP!

He's just insecure. You confronting him about his weight problem and trying to give him useful advice makes him feel like he's being attacked, so he acts defensive, like a complete douchebag. Don't take it to heart, I'm sure he didn't mean it. It was just his big, fat ego talking. For his own sake, I hope he listens to you. And congradulations to getting in shape; most overweight people never get back into a healthy weight.

Congrats on your success OP. Maybe from your cousins point of view, I'm sure he gets "subtle" remarks all the time about his weight and couldn't resist saying something snappish at your well-intentioned attempts, because you're familiar and therefore safer to lash out at...doesn't excuse his comment but maybe it'll sting less if you know it wasn't really about you.

Don't listen to him, OP! He is just jealous that you are healthy and attractive now! Kudos to you, on your weight loss... Feel good within yourself because you have made those steps to better yourself and if he wants to stay a jealous fat pig, then let him.

he's probably just jealous and throwing out insults to make himself feel better. my mom does the same thing all the time.
