Today, I told my mom I wanted to try out for the track team. Her exact words were "good luck, fatty". FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I asked my mom if she thought I looked skinny in my shorts. She jiggled my leg fat, looked up at me and walked away. FML

You tried
Today, I was told how cruel and selfish I am for rubbing my weight loss in my mom’s face. I’ve literally begged my mom to walk, jog, workout with me for months. She went exactly once. She complained the whole time, then called me a bitch for finishing my run while she sat in the car. FML

Classic Mom moment
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, I finally went running to help me start losing weight. I got 50 metres before someone in a passing car shouted out "Run fatty, run". I can't work up the courage to go for a run again. FML

Classic narcissist mom
Today, I told my mom that I’m pregnant. She said I could use it as an opportunity to “trim down.” I’m 130lbs and muscular. FML

Hush
Today, I caught my mother telling my 11-year-old daughter that if she wants to be happy in life, she needs to start exercising now, because fat can creep up on you, and rich guys never marry fat girls with nice personalities. I was fuming. FML

Today, I got cut from my track team. My coach told me it was because my sprints were "too fast" for his liking. Huh? FML

The shape of you
Today, I told my gym trainer I’d do anything to get in shape. He challenged me to run a mile without stopping. I agreed, then got winded halfway through and dramatically collapsed on the track. A 70 year-oldish woman jogged past me and said, “You’ll live.” FML

Thanks for the unsolicited advice!
Today, my mother once again brought up how I would have done so much better in my Track season if I just smiled while I ran. Apparently, if you just smile, your brain won't know you're in pain. I don't think it works like that, but thanks for the advice mom. 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

Prove her you can make the team

Diets are so silly. Just eat healthy and go for walks or something. Dieting is just delaying eating healthy.

I think she's already trying out for the track team. soooooo does she really need a diet?

Eating healthy is a diet dumbass?
commietaco 0
eating healthy is only a diet if you do it for a period of time, if you are changing it permanently it's just called being healthy.

Just do Discus.... Then all you have to do is throw. And you make the team.

Probably a better idea than just going on a diet would be also to invest in some exercise equipment. I'm not talking treadmills and that - hell, some pretty cheapo dumbells or something would do. And keep them in a place where OP can see them a lot. Pretty likely it will motivate the kid to use them rather than lamenting about having wasted money on them. Build is no indicator of physical ability.

Hell it's simple things. Once I got driving o got lazy n gained some. All I started doing was walking to/from work(about 40 mins each way) and I lost 30lbs.

The very track thing can help you lose weight, OP. Go for it. It is astonishing though how many FMLs are about people who are absolutely unfit to be parents. Way to be supportive and helpful. Don't let it bring you down, OP.

"Good luck, Fat-... I mean Patty" :3

Uh, maybe all of you morons will realize that no matter what you eat, healthy or otherwise, it is still "your diet." The way you suggest this person should diet is wrong because they already are dieting. The diet in question just isn't a healthy one.

The mom shouldn't have said "Good job honey I KNOW you will do good because you are in tip top shape!" Now the mom will be able to say "I told you so" when the girl comes home crying saying she didn't make the team!

Nothing like a bit of loving encouragement to get you motivated.....

That's true, Op can always use her mother's doubts against her joining the track team as motivation to run. I was on the track team all through high school, and when I felt like I was literally going to die; I thought about all those people that pissed me off; and I keep going as if my legs weren't about to fall off.
