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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

&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.

Americans ARE fat. and obese. YDI. Lose some weight fatties, you guys lead the world in obesity, AND YOU ELECTED Bush. the best part? You did it twice. Useless bastards.

Uuuuhh actually we didn't elect Bush. At least not in 2000. The majority of people made the smart choice and voted for Gore. And I sincerely doubt that whatever country you are from has never elected a stupid leader.

Um, actually, yeah, you did elect Bush twice. Hence why he was president for 8 years.. Sure, Al Gore should have won and he probably would have if they had a re-count, with the whole "rigged" counting thing but still, the fact remains, enough people re-elected Bush to make him president for another 4 years. So, I don't know if you were in a coma for the Bush's second term or if you're just stupid but Al Gore was never president, you re-elected Bush. But nice try with the whole "We didn't elect Bush." argument. Maybe you would have won! If, you know, you actually DIDN'T elect Bush. And I'm from Canada, we haven't had any truly stupid leaders in my life time. Unlike you :)

Not all Americans are fat...Some of us make good choices and DO try to decrease obesity but some people are ignorant and don't care about their health.

#55. Fat and obese? Kinda redundant. And the they deserve it for being American? You're a huge asshole. As if people can help where they're born.

55, way to generalize-you're a bigot. And you say that next statement about Bush as if EVERY American voted for him..if you knew how the voting system works, you'd realize how ******* stupid that statement was. I hope you choke on your next meal.

haha i just thought of a good comeback for that, unlike the person that commented way up when you hear her say that you go up to her/him and say "actually, i was saving this piece for you." then shove it in their face. :)

so sorry it happened to you the woman was a jerk. btw, not to sounds harsh or anything but when I was little and moved to the U.S. from Europe, the first thing I noticed is how big people were, so everyone here who says it's all stereotype.... it isn't. Of course not all Americans are fat, but there are more fat/very fat/obese people here than I've seen in Europe for sure.
