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

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

I really think I would suggest none too politely that if they don't like it, they should return to their country of residence. That's bullshit, racist, and they deserve to be kicked in the head for it.

HAHAHAHAH TROLL! I lived in the US for 3 years and it's true too many of them eat crap all the time, and too much of it at every meal. And the people probably didn't mean that all Americans are fat, but when 30% of your population is overweight, it *IS* something to be ashamed of or at least to do something about. You can eat whatever you want, it's the "how much" that makes you fat, not the "what".

I disagree here. It is about how much AND what.

It is true that the couple that was behind you was being inconsiderate and rude. But as someone who is Canadian we get to see a lot of American television and it's all reality shows about obesity and losing weight, not to mention the talk shows. I remember watching one talk show about a women who never left her couch for over 2 years and became fused to her couch and her family just let it happen. How awful to be so depressed to live like that and have a family that supports that. Then I hear about many states taking Gym class out of the curriculum from public schools or high schools or not making it mandatory. The entire Western world is becoming more obese because we're eating more fast food, watching more TV, playing more video games and surfing the net at all hours of the day and night. It's just with Americans that it's in our faces all the time. It doesn't help that most of the world hates your government and what it does. Thank God, people are only allowed to be president for two terms down there. Thank God, Obama was elected. Someone who appears to be intelligent and have a head on their shoulders. It's the stupid Americans that give the United States a bad name, but as far as the Americans I've met, you all seem to be normal people trying to deal with a bad situation.

Yeah you watch a show over it that doesn't mean every ones like that and I do agree with just about every but the video game part... I don't play that much but I like my far amount of cod. But really why does anyone care if someone's fat he/she might like being who they are and if not... Well it's not anything a little bit of running could fix.
