Today, I found out my boyfriend's mother has invented a new kind of cake and named it after me: not because it's delicious, but because of the amount of fat in it. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I woke up early and spent hours baking and icing a three-tier cake for my friend's eighteenth birthday, which is this evening. I just found out my mother threw it in the compost bin because she's on a diet and it was "tempting" her. FML
Today, I found out my mom intentionally puts extra butter and oil in the food she cooks for me because she wants me to be fatter than her. FML
Today, it was my friend's birthday, so I baked him a cake complete with his name written on it in homemade frosting. After I gave it to him, his mother berated me for it, saying I should have checked with her first before making a cake for her son. He's 28. FML
Today, after several months of eating right, exercising, and weight loss, my mother has yet again arrived at my house, unannounced and with a very sugary cake. She's been doing this most weeks since I lost 50 pounds. FML
Today, my mother in-law made dessert. It was a beautiful chocolate cake, chocolate cookies, and every other thing had chocolate in it. I'm deathly allergic to chocolate and she knows this. FML
Today, I made my boyfriend a vanilla cake for our anniversary. We sat down to eat it and one bite in, my boyfriend gets a weird look on his face. I take a bite and notice that it tastes like corn. I found out later my dad had replaced all the flour with cornmeal without telling anyone. FML
Today, I explained to my dad that I had spent over three hours baking, frosting, and decorating a cake from scratch and how proud I was of it. Without even looking up at me, he replied, "You really need a boyfriend." FML
Today, after telling my mother-in-law about my recent miscarriage, she cheerfully made a cake to celebrate. FML
Today, I bought a cheap cake topper online for my sister's birthday. It arrived with the words “Happy Birthday Mom.” I covered “Mom” with icing and thought nobody would notice. My sister's first comment was, “Why does my cake call me Mom?” FML
Today, I surprised my boyfriend by baking him some cookies for the first time. He took a bite and said, "Wow, these taste exactly like the ones my mom used to make!" I couldn't bring myself to admit that I'd used a store-bought mix, because I can’t bake to save my life. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I don't see the problem. Whether you're fat or not, cake is AWESOME!!! You should feel special to be named after the best food of all time.

Wow. If this is true, and not a misunderstanding, your boyfriend's mother is a childish bitch. If she had a problem with you, she could have handled it in a much more mature way (such as sitting and talking with you) than deliberately hurting your feelings and playing a high school prank. She's an adult and has raised a child, you'd THINK she would have an ounce of decency. You may not be a confrontational person, but personally I'd pull the bitch aside and politely (but firmly) ask her what her problem is, and what could we do to fix it. Hopefully she will be a woman about it instead of a prepubescent schoolgirl, or else this could definitely cause problems further down the road. If this is a serious relationship, I see an obsessive, controlling MIL in your future...

This is just cruel. Why do people have to be so mean to fat-asses?

Borrow one of her cake tins, collect a weeks worth of crap, and name a cake after HER. Tell her you named it after her because shes a piece of crap too. Just an idea :)

Eh, sounds like either you deserve it or she's being a bitch. If you're overweight? Well, you deserve it. She's not being evil by pointing it out. Lose some freaking weight. It's not hard. You've just got to be a little active for a little bit of time. Start jogging, fatty!

What's even more depressing are how immature some of the posters here are. FYL indeed, to first get called a fatty by your boyfriend's mother and then come here to have everyone else turn five years old and call you a fatass.
