Today, I was with my family at a buffet getting dessert. As I had my chocolate cake in hand, I grabbed an extra slice of cheesecake for my mom because I knew she would like a slice. Upon returning to my table, a couple walking behind me commented, "See, that's why Americans are so obese." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I scolded my son at a buffet after he pointed at an obese woman in a motorized wheelchair and asked how anyone could let themselves get so unhealthy. As I lectured him on genetics and thyroid problems, she rolled past with a plate stacked with an obscene amount of fried food. FML
Today, my niece offered me a slice of cake. After I refused, she asked, "Why not? Aren't fat people always hungry?" FML
Today, after taking vacation time to visit her, my mom told me she was glad I was leaving so she could get back to her diet. I'm prediabetic and have been trying to manage the condition. She ordered dessert at every meal and was the only one in the family who did. FML
Today, we had a family gathering at my mom's house. I offered to bring dessert, and I was very proud of my homemade cheesecake. As I set it on the table, my uncle decided to do a magic trick with it and make it disappear onto the floor. FML
Today, I bought myself a Crumbl cookie as a treat for losing 20lbs. Upon seeing it, my mom screamed at me for cheating on my diet and how I was going to "gain all the weight back" and insisted she eat some of it to "help me out." She left behind a tiny morsel of the cookie with a chocolate chip chunk. FML
Today, my dad insisted on taking us to a local buffet that is known for bad food and botulism. He kept piling things onto a plate for me, despite my objections. A waitress commented on how much was on my plate. I told her I wasn't hungry, and it was my dad's doing. Her response, "Your skinny self needs to eat." FML
Today, I was told it is "fatphobic" to "assume someone's weight is related to their food choices" and that I have a "problematic relationship with food." All because I didn't want to eat a bigger slice of the cake someone brought in at work. FML
Today, I volunteered to bring a homemade dessert to a family dinner. I made a cheesecake, decorated it beautifully, and carried it across town on the train. When I arrived, everyone complimented it. Then I realized I'd forgotten the removable bottom of the pan, so the cheesecake was still sitting inside a metal ring and couldn't be served. FML
Today, my parents threw out the beautiful birthday cake my aunt made me, and served celery sticks at my party because I need to "watch my weight." FML
Today, I told my parents that I was going on a diet to lose weight and I wanted their support. They brought home donuts and pizza for dinner. FML

&that's when you should have turned and said, "Actually, this cheesecake is for my mom, and American's are so obese because of restaraunts like this one and you are helping them stay open by eating here. Ever think about that?" and then just walked away. Some people, I swear.

That lady was 100% right, how the hell can you eat that "fat stuffed" shit? No wonder you are fat! And then your stupid american parents comfort you by saying: "You are not fat, just big boned! Here, have another Big Mac/Cake/"whatever greesy shit you eat there"! There is no f*cking bones, THAT huge!!!! You are not big boned - you are FAT and that's that!

I'm with #23 on this one. And, #8, I think this has more to do with arrogance, kyoto, Irak, and all the things that american people don't have a thing to do with, but well, it's all that we can see from the outside. And, I know, my english suxx. XD And, well, I have to admit that when I read the comments on FML, I read them with the idea that they're written by 12-42 years old persons, mostly from the US, and so they must represent the opinion of the majority of them. And, I (and I'm not the only one) found most of them.. well, to be politically correct, I found a lot of them old-fashioned.

that is incredibly rude. D: usually if I see someone with multiple plates of something, i assume they're grabbing something for a friend while they're up.

I would've said something back to them. I hate assholes like that.

Should've smashed the cakes in their faces.

One piece of cake at a family buffet is probably already over-eating.

well america is the fastest country in the world, its a fact, and it can be shocking to people who don't live there and see it everyday. i was shocked the first time i went to a kmart and saw hoards of people on little skooters meant for old people or disabled people just because they were too fat and too lazy to walk around and shop. if in fact you are a healthy conscientious person and happened to have eaten a reasonable meal and left some room to enjoy dessert, then i guess it was an unfair and rude statement. however if you just took advantage of an ALL YOU CAN EAT CHINESE BUFFET, went for dessert and ARE OBESE then i would say you deserve it.

Several island nations and Kuwait have higher obesity rates than America. But I agree with te rest of your comment.

Actually, it's only around the 8th or 9th fattest. Learn first. Then speak.
