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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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?

either your mother's really mean or you're really fat, if it's the latter then you should get off the computer and do some laps around a track

Good god... People really are idiots... We have no idea how much this girl weighs so kindly shut up. For all we know, the mother's one of those crazy bitches who thinks you're fat unless you're under 100 lbs. So unless more information is to be had, quit making assumptions.

Ah, I love when people make assumptions. Do you know how much the OP weighs? Do you know if she really is fat? No. Some parents are abusive bitches. One of my best friends struggles with anorexia. She's 5'1", 103 lbs, and she freaks out at the slightest weight gain because her guardian (her grandmother) will begin to make comments about her being fat, even though she is nowhere near fat. It's had a serious effect on the way she thinks and feels about herself.

I feel bad for fat people and am proud of them when I see them out walking, or at the gym. Right now I'm struggling to drop 10 lb so I can only imagine what it would be like to have 100's of lb to lose.

If you're getting messages like that, it's likely you do need to drop some weight. Just get to it.
