Today, I discovered that I've lost thirty pounds since having my second child. However, I still weigh just as much as I did when I was full-term with my first child. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my twin sister gave birth and somehow now weighs less than before she was pregnant. She also has huge boobs now and not a stretch mark in sight. Meanwhile, I’m still carrying an extra 15 pounds, even though I gave birth 5 years ago, and so many stretch marks I look like a fat zebra. FML
Today, I ran into an old friend at the store with my infant daughter. As we caught up, she assured me that I could get rid of all my baby weight from the pregnancy. If only I had actually been pregnant. My wife carried her and looks fantastic. FML
Today, I visited my old job to pick up some paperwork. Since leaving over a year ago, I’ve lost over 60lbs, but I’m currently 6 months pregnant. Not a single person believed that I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I noticed that I have gained enough weight to give me back boobs. FML
Today, my friend was complaining to me that she's gained 20 pounds and it's all gone to her butt and boobs. Meanwhile, I've also gained 20 pounds, and it's gone straight to my stomach. She looks better than she did before. FML
Today, after months of grueling hard work, I'd finally gained five pounds. Too bad I lost it all and then some, due to one good stomach flu. FML
Today, I realized that I haven’t lost weight. All my clothes have just stretched to fit. FML
Today, after finally dropping my weight from an overweight 200 to a slim 135, my skin is now loose everywhere, and stretches about two inches out on my stomach. FML
Today, after I completely starved myself for a week and exercised every day in an attempt to lose weight, I instead gained 5 pounds. FML
Today, after losing five pounds from being sick, my first customer at work greeted me with, “Aaaahhhh, you’re expecting!” I’m not pregnant. I guess I didn’t lose my gut. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I hope you only planned on having a couple of kids. Given the recent results, I don't think your hubby will be gearing up for kid #3 anytime soon.

Why are you complaining? You've lost 30 pounds - that's great! It's not as if you have to stop now. Keep going. Stop focusing on the negative.

I agree with #17. It does suck that you've gained more weight since your first child, but 30 pounds is a lot of weight so be happy you've made it this far :)

You've had three kids, give yourself a break. You'll get there:3

Think of the accompliment you've made though. And some extra baggage is a small price to pay for having a beautiful baby of your own. Some people only wish to be so lucky! Quit bitching and be happy for what you have!!

If it makes you feel any better, I've been having huge weight swings since I was a teenager. I can gain or lose up to 40 pounds. The fact that you've gained some weight, also implies the opportunity of losing it as well. There's nothing you can't do about it so don't blame yourself for the weight gain. Just keep following a healthy diet and working out.
