Today, I'm staying with my mother for a week. Every time I eat something, she tells me that it's "swimsuit season" and that I need to eat less. Every time I say I'm not hungry, she panics and insists I have an eating disorder. I can't win. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after I skipped dessert for the third day in a row, my mom cornered me and accused me of being anorexic. I'm actually not far off being clinically obese and I'm just trying to diet, but nothing I say will convince her. She wants me to see a psychiatrist about a disorder I don't even have. FML
Today, while at my mom’s house, my mom told me that I need to seriously curb my food intake. Then I went to my dad’s house and he told me I need to gain weight. I can’t win here. FML
Today, my mom asked me if I had an eating problem because I've been eating less. I only started eating less because she told me I ate too much. FML
Today, I felt sick to my stomach, so I told my mother I didn't want to eat dinner. She started accusing me of being anorexic, so I ate a little bit anyway to make her stop. I then threw up, only for her to take it as confirmation that I have an eating disorder. FML
Today, my step-mom asked if I was having some eating issues. I admitted that maybe I've picked up some bad habits from friends and school. Now she won't stop bombarding me with self-help books and therapy websites. FML
Today, I found out my mother-in-law is trying to force me to lose weight, even though I am trying, and have a medical condition. FML
Today, I admitted to my parents that I have an eating disorder. Instead of trying to help, my mom stared at me and said, "Duh". FML
Today, my mum was saying she needs to gain weight because she was underweight according to her doctor. She then said she's going to eat like me in order to gain more weight. FML
Today, my morbidly obese mother gave me an angry lecture at dinner, saying without any trace of irony that my vegetarian diet is "unhealthy and utterly unacceptable". FML
Today, I told my mom that I'm bulimic and have been for a few years, and that I needed help. She responded by saying, "Well that's clearly not working for you. Why don't you try anorexia?" She then patted me on the head, smiled, and walked away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm sorry, mothers tend to over react to things their kids do. Personally, I think it's because like to always be in control of our lives. Out

Next time you're on the phone with her, ask if something is wrong with her phone cause she sounds fat. Start shrinking her clothes and injecting bacon fat into all the food in your house. She will be too busy being self conscious to worry about you.

That is really mean. Even if the mom is freaking out she only wants what is best for OP. I think it's somewhat heart warming, even if the mother is going about it the wrong way.

But then OP's mom will still think she has an eating disorder if she's eating less frequently!

Next time she tells you it's swimsuit season, tell her off and inform her that whenever you say you're not hungry she insists you have a eating disorder. Like saying "WTF is wrong with you mom?!"

Finally, an FML where I can read my favorite line from White Chicks! *squeezes rolls* ITS TINA THE TALKING TUMMY!!! You

You know it relates somehow.

Not really.

You just never saw white chicks before. So you wouldn't know, smartass.

My mother does this. But different. My step mother accused me of bullemia, and i went and told my mother because I thought it was hilarious... my mother went 'Are you?' now she constantly complains I'm too thin.

eat a big mac and a baconator in front of her
Ali_Br_fml 33
Yeah, but eating that in front of her won't stop her from believing that, b/c they'll just think she threw it up later. If it was anorexia, then that would work. It's harder to prove that you're not bulimic. They'd have 2 follow you to the bathroom after each & every meal.
4bbaf9d3caaa8f84 20
That wouldn't help. Bulimics binge (eat a lot at once) and then purge (throw it up). Her mother would probably accuse her of binging.

Baconators are the ish!!
