Today, I found out the hard way that if you spontaneously begin to lose weight, you may have cancer, not an increased metabolism. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally lost some weight. Unfortunately, that's only because I had a testicle removed due to cancer. FML
Today, I found out my sudden weight loss wasn’t because I changed my diet. It’s because I have heart failure FML
Today, a customer that I've been waiting on for years came into the restaurant after a long absence. I said to him, "Hey man, it looks like you lost a lot of weight! How'd you do it?" He replied, "I got cancer." 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, I had a doctor's appointment because I've recently lost weight. I'm already underweight, and I was concerned because the weight loss has been causing some other health concerns to worsen. My doctor's exact words of advice? "Eating food usually leads to weight gain." FML
Today, when my mother-in-law told me I was losing weight, my husband started laughing. FML
Today, I found out that I've been using a "Trick Scale" that my family bought to boost my self esteem so I'd think I was losing weight. I found this out at my physical, where I learned I have actually gained ten pounds. FML
Today, I found out my diet and exercise plan wasn't nearly as effective when it comes to weight loss as I had originally thought. It turns out what really accounts for all the weight I've been losing is tapeworms. FML
Today, and over the past six months, after 20+ years of habits aiming at not gaining weight and succeeding in doing so, I've suddenly LOST a lot of weight at 40 years-old due to bad circumstances. No matter how hard I try or how much I eat, my system just seems to have forgotten how to build fat. FML
Today, I noticed that I have gained enough weight to give me back boobs. FML

That's terrible news. Best of luck, and avoid that awful chemo poison! However, I feel that anyone should seek medical attention if something "spontaneously" or suddenly changes with your body. That's somewhat common sense.

For all of you morons that said YDI, you are awful heartless people and if you clicked that just to get the fml badge, you're jerks. No one, I mean no one deserves cancer (except pedophiles) but serious it's a shitty disease and I hate Cancer. it's not a joke and not something funny. I'm so so so sorry Op. don't let any of those morons get you down!
