Today, I asked my boyfriend what he wanted for Christmas. He then told me that he would only tell me if I promised not to get mad, so I agreed. He told me that he wants me to start working out because I'm getting fat. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I told my boyfriend that I didn't know what I was going to do over the Christmas holidays since he was going to be out of the country. He suggested that I work out and do some sit-ups. FML
Today, I mentioned to my boyfriend that I want to start working out and get rid of my holiday weight. His response? "Okay, just don't join a gym. People will have to see you there." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I gave each other early Christmas gifts. I gave him a basketball signed by his favorite player, which took me forever to find. He got me diet pills. FML
Today, my boyfriend is seriously mad at me for telling his cat what he got it for Christmas. FML
Today, my fiancé and I had a fight because he wouldn't let me get what I wanted to eat, even though it was my money. He said, "It's way too many calories. I'm supposed to help you lose weight." When I pointed out that I had given up a month ago, he looked at me and said, "Yeah, I can tell." FML
Today, I was talking to my boyfriend about our new year's resolutions. I started telling him that I wanted to lose some weight. He interrupted me, saying, "Yeah yeah, we all know you're fat, whatever." He then went on a 30 minute speech about how he'd really like to take more pictures of his cat in 2011. FML
Today, my boyfriend sent me a text that said, "I can't be seen with you anymore. You're too fat." FML
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 told my boyfriend that I didn't want to go out with him because I was having a fat day. After ten minutes of fighting, he threw a ring box on the floor and stormed out. I basically refused his proposal because of my body issues. FML

then you reply, "Too bad, you're not supposed to share your wish, now it won't come true!"

that's birthday wishes, not Christmas gifts. Nice try though.

I love how all the ignorant people start calling her fat names. Op try to be more open with your bf...get him to work at slimming down with you even if he doesn't need it. (that's if he still is the bf) Its always best to have a team behind you when trying to accomplish a goal. Also you have to lose weight for yourself not anyone else, you have to be ready to do it for you. Good Luck Op!

I love how people find it acceptable to rag on heavy people under the guise of being concerned for their "health". If a thin person goes to McDonalds every day, never works out, and drinks and smokes every day, nobody says a word to help them get "healthier". They are thin and seen as "hot" so it's okay. A heavy person can be JUST as healthy or healthier than a size 2 person. Weight is not the one and only indicator of health. 36, you sound like an as and I have a hard time believing most of that story. But even if it is true, you don't know that your ex is not perfectly happy being single. I'd rather have her life than a marriage to someone only obsessed with keeping their body "perfect".

so if 36 is an ass, what do you think of 37??

#50, let me guess - you're overweight and defensive about it, and thus anyone who rightfully points out that obesity is unhealthy (and disgusting) is just a fraud pretending false concern. No, I don't have an obsession with keeping my body "perfect" (use exaggeration much?) but rather with taking good care of it to live to old age and beyond. Fat people die young, because their bodies and organs are severely overworked and can't maintain themselves. The subject of this FML was about a fat person who was asked by her boyfriend to slim down. Bringing up a totally irrelevant example of a thin person who exhibits unhealthy behavior has nothing to do with the discussion. You haven't a clue what I or anyone else might have said or might say about that example (how do you know I DON'T frequent other forums railing against drinking, smoking and fried foods?); it's just an attempt to deflect the subject with a bogus non sequitur designed to attack someone pointing out uncomfortable truths. As I said in my original post, I don't care if you or anyone else judges me harshly for not finding fat people attractive. I will not be made to feel sorry for considering Katy Perry more beautiful than Carnie Wilson. I broke up with my weight-gaining girlfriend (who didn't have a "glandular problem" or some such BS; she was just too lazy and undisciplined to take care of herself) and found a woman who shares my views about proper weight control and exercise. It's called "living happily ever after" with a compatible significant other. And as for your absurd comment that "I don't know my ex is not perfectly happy being single" - actually, I DO know this is the case, and I DO know that it's because of her obesity. She remains unwilling to take responsibility for herself and get that gym membership. Funny how you see fit to judge people you don't know while spewing incorrect assumptions, as you moan and complain about others doing the same. You'd rather have my ex's life? With your attitude I'm sure you're probably not far from it, and deservedly so. I imagine you bitch at your doctor for advising you to lose weight, because "he just hates fat people." and in case you missed the point of my original post, you wouldn't have an opportunity to be married to someone like me because I wouldn't choose someone who didn't care enough about her body to exercise and keep fit.

I also must say people should settle down with the hurtful comments.. Sometimes you do have to hurt someones feelings to get them to wake up, but you can still provide constructive criticism. For someone who may be gaining weight and not familiar with exercise routines, the information is a LOT to take in! And not all exercises are a one-size-fits-all solution... Im overweight and pregnant and for me to have a successful VBAC I need to lose a little bad weight, while still gain good weight to insure I have a healthy child. Who the hell knows how to do that? Fitness is NOT black and white..

You exercise and eat correctly. While you are pregnant, you need to eat more of certain things that contain particular vitamins and minerals for the baby. Muscle weighs more than fat, which is how you lose "fat" but don't lose weight. You can go down in body fat AND in clothing sizes AND in inches and still weigh the same, or even more. I'd advocate swimming, since you are pregnant. It's low impact. I'd also cut out a lot of the preservative-laden food, eat a lot more fresh fruit and veggies, and go easy on the desserts. Cut out junk food and turn to healthy options if you want to graze during the day. I'm also a huge proponent of weight training. It burns fat while building muscle. Hire a trainer/dietitian if you are unsure of how to go about this.

you mean ex bf right!? exercise releases feel good hormones, and is good for you, so its a great idea, but don't do it for that jack wad, do it for you! oh, and maybe a little for the single hotties out there now that you'll be single too!

at least he's honest, would you rather he just kept his mouth shut and let you get fat? maybe he just wants you to be healthy and work out. if you need help get a trainer. I would way rather my boyfriend be honest than end up fat and wondering why he never said anything. women need to get over this weight paranoia. fat isn't about pounds, it's how you look. and not bone thin either. just a healthy body weight, and muscle. I say you're lucky to be dating someone who cares enough to let you know
