Today, even though I'm overweight, I was feeling alright about the way I looked in the historical costume I'm required to wear by my job. A little kid came in and asked me if I was having a baby. Guess I don't look as good as I thought. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while on the bus, a small child asked me if I was having a baby, and I replied "Yes." I'm not. I was just too ashamed to admit I was fat. FML
Today, at school, one of my students confidently told me that I "wasn't hiding my baby bump very well anymore." I'm not pregnant. Just fat, apparently. FML
Today, it was Halloween, and I was giving candy to kids. When a group of kids who looked like they were around 4 years old came up to me and said, "Hey mister, do you have one of those things that make it look like you are fat under your shirt?" I didn't have one of those, but I lied and said, "Yes." FML
Today, while working at a certain California theme park in full costume, I was approached by a kid in line, who looked at me and exclaimed, "Hey look, its Indiana Jones!" which felt pretty amazing. His sister, who was maybe seven years old, glanced over at me and said, "No, he's way too fat." FML
Today, I greeted my boss with, "Looking good, did you lose weight?" He responded that no, he'd just purchased larger pants. FML
Today, I was taking my 3 month-old nephew for a walk in his stroller, when a lady stopped me to coo over him. Then she patted my stomach and said, "Don't worry, you'll lose the baby weight soon." I've never had a baby. FML
Today, I was at work refreshing the shelves when a man turned the corner and said, very surprised, "You look 12!" A few weeks back, two people did the same thing, only they said I looked 9. I'm almost 21 years old, and just very short. Starting to get just a little self conscious here. FML
Today, I discovered that I can fit back into the clothes I wore in High School. I was proud of this until my husband told me that I look like a stuffed sausage in them. FML
Today, my son was looking through old photos and showed me a picture of myself and asked who it was. When I told him it was me, he responded by saying "But mommy, the lady in the picture is not fat!" FML
Today, I was carrying some bags out of a store, and my shirt had scooted up a little. I had no free hands, so I ignored it. A woman stopped me to tell me that bare midriffs are only attractive on skinny girls, "not fat ones." I'm 6 months pregnant. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

take it as a compliment, pregnant women are beautiful

It's not much of a compliment if you aren't pregnant.

No. Pregnant women CAN be beautiful. Being pregnant does not make you beautiful.

Well it can make you have glossy hair and glowing skin, plus a general air of excitement if the baby is wanted. I've definitely noticed a couple of my (already pretty but of course I'm biased) friends being more radiant during and after their pregnancy.

So the pretty people stayed pretty while pregnant? Is that supposed to prove that pregnancy makes people pretty?

dont listen to some bratty kid as long as you arent crazily overweight then you have the choice what skin you feel comfortable in

All the ones who said the OP deserved it, you're pretty messed up. FYL... Sorry, OP. You didn't deserve that. Kids will be kids. They have no filter. Adults are supposed to, but you know as well as I do... some "Adults" never grow up.

At least kids tell the truth

YDI for being overweight. People need to stop pretending it's possible to be fat [enough to have visceral fat picked around your organs] and healthy.

Doesn't mean that you don't look good ;) Besides, you have a body, ind, and soul - embrace all three! :D

I would love to embrace my ind, if I only knew what it was.

It could be that you don't look "fat"/pregnant in the outfit, but that it just looks unusual and the kid thought it was some kind of maternity wear, especially if it's billowy and comfortable-looking.
