Today, I finished a ballet class with a group of seven-and-unders. Afterwards, a new student's mother came up to me and thanked me, saying she was glad that her daughter had a "role model with a, ahem, fuller figure" and "not to worry about my weight." I have never thought I was fat before. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mum came to my ballet class. She spent the whole lesson sitting at the back yelling at me to, "Stop sticking your butt out!" My ballet instructor had to ask her several times to pipe down. FML
Today, a friend of mine commented that I "have a lot of confidence for a fat girl". Ummm... thanks? 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, my 6-year-old daughter walked into the bathroom where I was grumbling about my weight. Seeing how upset I was, she took my hand and said, "Mom, you're not fat. You just look fat." FML
Today, I was watching my 7 year-old daughter and her friend jump on our trampoline. I was really impressed by all the flips they were doing, and I told her, "Hey! I can't even do that." To that her friend replied, "Of course you can't. You're fat!" FML
Today, I went to my parents' house. I recently lost about 30 lbs. My mom hugged me and said, "Aww, you're not my chubby baby girl anymore." She then said she wished I were still fat because she missed it. She's the reason I lost the weight; she used to tease and taunt me. Thanks Mom. FML
Today, due to family, job, health, and pregnancy issues, I didn't dance in the past decade, but recently started doing my favourite classical dance again. In this decade, I've more than tripled in weight and can't recognise myself in the mirror or in videos. I'm still in a healthy BMI but feel so fat. 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 took the kids to the pool. I'm short and 20lbs overweight but they talked me into it and I put on a swimsuit for the first time in 10 years. As soon as we got there, a girl my height but a good 150lbs heavier said, "It's so nice to see another big girl in a two-piece!" FML
Today, I was at the local theatre watching "The Nutcracker" ballet with my mother. When the prince made his appearance in his tights my mother leans over to me and says, "Those are some well defined butt cheeks!" loud enough for everyone around us to hear. FML

You know, from a ballet standpoint, a lot of the woman are sticks. Maybe you just have a curvy figure, and she's happy her daughter can look up to someone with curvy hips instead of a coat hanger.

If you don't think you're fat then don't worry.

sigh, why would you put this up. your probably skinny as **** & the fact that you do ballet clearly means your not fat. with that said, delete your fml account and go kill yourself.

How's this an FML? She just told you your her daughters role model, seems a really great compliment to me. And she didn't say you were fat, I think she just mend you aren't one of those skinny bitches who drills her students and makes them self conscious, like a lot of ballet teacher are, but curvy and a great example for the kids. I don't want to be one of those naggy persons who takes FML way too serious but I had to comment on this one because I don't want you to think of yourself as fat, but be glad that at least your someone little kids should want to look like :)

seriously she probably meant someone with curves and an acutal womanly figure unlike half of the sticks you see today.

I hate people like that. They think that if you're not a size two and under, your fat. There bitches

I doubt you're fat OP. If you don't think you're fat, then you probably aren't. That woman is just a bitch who probably stereotypes all women over a size 6 to be fat and she's probably like a size 2 stick.

All this "reall women have curves" stuff really gets to me. I'm a size 0 and barley a 32A. I play ice hockey in the U-19 age league, and being barley 15 and pretty small, I've been working out and trying to put on some weight so I don't get pushed off the puck like I do (and to maybe get boobs Bigger than those of a 12 year old). I'm not going to complain about eating whatever I want and not gaining weight because I know a lot of women worry about that stuff, but it really sucks to be a stick.
