Today, I received an email with a link to a story about a man who lost 650 pounds. I ignored it, until I saw who sent it. My mom, with the message "Maybe there's hope for you." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I received a box in the mail from my mom which I assumed was a care package. It was a scale to encourage me to lose weight. FML
Today, I complimented my mom with "Hey, I think you lost some weight." She replied with "Yeah, I think you found it." FML
Today, I told my mom I lost 30 pounds because of an eating disorder. She told me to keep up the good work. FML
Today, when my mother-in-law told me I was losing weight, my husband started laughing. 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, my mother told me I've gained so much weight recently, she thinks I should get gastric bypass surgery. FML
Today, my family held an intervention and told me I needed to lose weight. It probably would've had more impact if they hadn't done this over video chat while stuffing their faces at an all-you-can-eat buffet. FML
Today, I finally read an email I'd been avoiding. I thought it would be from my dad whom I haven't spoken to in years, and that he was checking on me during the pandemic. It turned out to be spam. The last contact I had with anyone related to my dad was one of his ex's friends, saying she was in jail and needed help. FML
Today, I discovered that a company has been using a photo of me for one of those "she lost 50 pounds" online ads. I'm the "before" photo. FML
Today, I told my mom that I think I’m anorexic and she told me she didn’t care. When I asked why, in disbelief she replied, "Honey, you are 5’3 and over 350 lbs, at this point you NEED to be anorexic." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think someone is in denial about their weight

Another FML without supporting information. How should we react? How much do you weigh? Has it been a topic of conversation in the house?

I agree. Maybe she has a point.

you should send her a gift-wrapped box with a mirror inside and a note that says "I think it might be genetic..."

Me too! He used to be 650 and then lost 410. He looked so good afterward. I love weight loss stories!

Eh, she could just be a little overweight, or like me. I can count my ribs but I still have a bit of a belly, but I'm underweight. (95 lbs)

I highly doubt she weighs anywhere near 95 pounds. Unless your mom would do the same thing?

I agree, you should face the fact that you need to lose weight and your mom is just trying to help you. So stop whining about it.

Agreed. And sitting at your computer whining on fmylife.com isn't going to make you any skinnier. Just a news flash.

Write her back with, "I eat because you're a bitch".

I think your mother loves you and is trying everything she can think of to not be burying her own child. Hope that you're both around to enjoy life for quite some time.
