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.

#15 i think you did right. #33 so its not ok for people to enjoy themselves if they are overweight? talk about being judgmental! i would have just told them that making assumptions is rude and you have no idea or right to judge others on any level. telling someone they are rude shuts them up without being rude yourself.

Why can't people just mind their own business? Unless you were shoving pieces of cake down their throats then they should just focus on their own issues.

1. You shouldn't have been eating chocolate cake anyway, fatty. 2. Buffetts with desert? It cost a lot, I hope? If not, you're tacky.

I would have turned around and once I realized what they were I would of said something like "See, thats why brits have bad teeth" "see, thats why niggers stink" ******* bigots.

Yes, because all British people have big teeth? Someone watches a lot of Family Guy... And I know what your comment meant. Like don't judge a culture on media. But come on? Where did that even come from?

#37, eating chocolate cake is fine, in moderation of course. I hope you were joking. I'm 22, about 5'4" and I just reached above 115 lbs for the first time in my life. I've been eating chocolate cake, or chocolate anything, once a month since I was 11. It's not bad for you unless you eat WAY too much of it ALL the time. About being at a buffet, this person is with their family; when I go out to eat with my family, I don't have a choice, maybe he/she (sorry, no gender specifics) didn't either. I think this is a FML, whether this person is obese or not, people shouldn't be so rude.

Americans ARE obese and if more people were like these people and said things about it we would be less prone to continuing our DISGUSTING eating habits.

perfect response!: turn around looking like you were going to say something horribly nasty and then look shocked, look at her man and go "ooh, sorry didn't realize she was SPECIAL. almost gave her a piece of my mind there!" chuckle chuckle.
