Today, I was at Target trying on swimsuits. I tried on a medium bottom and was so excited because it fit perfectly even though I've gained a few pounds. My self-esteem was at an all-time high until my mom told me I could never fit into a medium. I rechecked the tag. It was an extra large. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 took the kids to the pool. I'm short and 20lbs overweight but they talked me into it and I put on a swimsuit for the first time in 10 years. As soon as we got there, a girl my height but a good 150lbs heavier said, "It's so nice to see another big girl in a two-piece!" FML
Today, a heavy set lady came to my boutique asking for our "largest" 28in size jeans. I decided to humor her by giving a 52 mislabeled as a 28. It fit perfectly! She happily bought it and left. Later, her mother, who is a Super Karen and twice her size, came to complain about me to the owner for bodyshaming her daughter. FML
Today, when I tried on a pair of pants at the mall, I asked the salesperson if I could have the next size up. She informed me that there wasn't a next size up. I have to LOSE weight to fit into the biggest pair of pants the store makes. FML
Today, my mom and I were looking at dresses for me at the mall. The cashier pointed out a dress, and my mom said, "She's definitely not going to fit into that. She's too flat-chested." FML
Today, I bought my fiancée a dress for her birthday. She accused me of saying she was fat, because I bought it in medium rather than small. After trying on the dress, she's now not only mad at me for buying it, but also because the dress fits perfectly. FML
Today, I was chosen out of 64 women to model for the catalog of a new clothing store. Just when my self-confidence took a dramatic boost, I looked at the evaluation sheet. I was picked due to attributes such as my "extra large figure and average face" to make below average women feel beautiful. FML
Today, I finally got the wedding dress I've been waiting months to see. It turns out that my mom ordered the dress 2 sizes smaller than my size, this way it will be "an incentive to lose weight". FML
Today, I received the beautiful dress I'd ordered on the internet. It's a size smaller than my usual, just to encourage me to lose weight. I managed to fit into it and wear it all day, but I've now been struggling for a couple of hours to remove it without tearing it to bits. FML
Today, I was trying on some new pants in the fitting room at a store. I was so overcome with joy when I noticed that I had dropped two pant sizes, that when I took them off and went outside to pay for them, I realized I forgot to put back on my original jeans. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

you should sit on your mom, that should teach her a lesson.

The size on the tag doesn't matter as long as the clothes fit well and you feel comfortable with the way you look.

Wow everyone was an asshole in 2009 so one thing...targets swimsuits run small. My friend who wears a small had to get a large bottom. Nothing wrong with a nice butt! Embrace your curves!

I guess you would know all about the negative effects of excess weight, wouldn't you? Your picture looks like you're trying to hide how fat you are...

The OP is from Florida. Gaining weight over the winter has nothing to do with weather.

Awww that sucks I know it's hard but try to do something bout it Like make a habit out of running arou d the neighboothood every morning so that after a while it'll just seem normal! Try as best you can to watch what you eat, and again I know it's easier said than done, but best of luck!

You mean bottoms as in... part of a two piece? If you're a girl, that's showing a bit too much, maybe.

agreed #6, they shoudn't even make extra large two pieces. No one wants to see that.

You wouldn't be saying that about a men's size 58 speedo.
ashleymeshell 15
they make two piece suits that are halter top style or even tank top where it covers your stomach. just cause it is a two piece doesn't mean it's a bikini. smh

...Maybe you shouldn't be wearing a two piece then. >_> Sorry, I hate to sound like a bitch but larger people shouldn't wear a two piece. I mean c'mon, if you're embarrassed about your weight it's a no brainer anyway.

Your fat thumb was probably covering up the other "X" so it's an "XX Large"

Just try and excercise as best you can. You may have a slow metabolism, and its not your fault. You just need to eat less fattening foods, and pretty much just eat less, because it takes a longer time for you to digest and you gain weight quicker. Just buy a one piece! I may not be the best to give this advice seeing as I have a fast metabolism and eat boxes of chocolate chip cookies a day and still am pretty slim, but you can do it! I fit into a large at abercrombie in bathing suit bottoms sort of kind of and I was proud that I gained weight! It just depends on who you are. Be proud!!!!!!!! p.s.- your mom is an asshole :D
