Today, I walked downstairs in a new outfit, after dieting for 3 months, and losing just over 20 pounds. My mom took one look at me and said "You'd better keep going." FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I proudly told my family I lost 15 pounds. My dad looked me up and down and said, "Well, you've got a looooong way to go." 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 hung out with some old friends for the first time since losing about 50 pounds, going from clinically obese to a healthy weight. I even bought a cute new dress for the occasion to show off my new body. No one noticed the change. 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, after losing 20 pounds, I decided to purchase new clothes. All of the clothes at the store were still too small for me. FML
Today, I told my mom I was finally going on a diet. She let me know how proud she is of me fighting temptation, by making my favorite cookies and dinner. FML
Today, I’ve worked hard to lose ten kilos. It took daily workouts and walking 10 kms a day to make the weight finally move, and I’m the fittest I’ve been in years. My mum, after having not seen me for a while, says in front of everyone during the holidays, “Wow, those injections have worked for you!” FML
Today, my boyfriend suggested I try on some old clothes, after weeks of eating better and exercising. The good news: they fit again, and are even a little bit loose. The bad news: somehow, I look fatter now than I did before I started trying to lose weight. FML
Today, I'd finally reached my goal weight. I went into the office where my husband was, to show him the new size 8 jeans I'd bought. He responded with "I wouldn't buy any more clothes, you'll be putting the weight back on again soon." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

20 pounds is a lot, esp. in just 3 months. don't let the success stop you from maintaining it, but ignore what your mother says. she's just jealous she can't lose that much that quickly.

My mom used to say the same kind of mean things to me. Then when she started losing weight, she expected everyone to fall all over themselves congratulating her. ... And with every pound she dropped, she got bitchier and bitchier. She lost 50lbs but my sister and I hated her more than ever. Then she gained it back and got nicer.

Dude, I'd kill to lose at least 20 pounds in that time period. It took me a whole year even with diet and exercise to go from 190 back down to 154. Your mom's a bitch, sorry.

Shenanigans. No ******* way a parent would have the pair to say that to their child.

I agree with 34. So you know, i'm 5"8 and 103lbs and people tell me i should gain weight. The thing is that the world and nature are unfair, and i have great genetics to avoid gaining weight. Yes, i eat chocolate, i drink coke (real coke, not light shit), but i can't gain weight. If you are overweight and feel bad about it, then stop being on the computer, go for a walk or on the bike when you need to move, try to eat a bit less, chew slowly, avoid little snacks inbetween meals... There's no magic formula about losing weight and getting better health:) Don't try to loose weight thinking it'll get you better. It maybe healthier for some people to lose weight, but not for everyone. I know bigger persons way more healthy and in greater health than i am

So, if losing 20 pounds didn't make a dent in your excess fat, maybe your mother is being encouraging. If you got this far, the rest should be easy, because you proved to yourself you can do it. It's not an FML. It's a "congratulations, you're getting where you want to go and just need to have faith you'll get there."

You're mom is a bitch for saying that. I would have smacked her ass as hard as I could. She had better have been kidding, and even then. Good job on losing 20 pounds. Keep it up, and forget your mom's bitchy comments.
