Today, my 15 year-old daughter got kicked out of her cheerleading squad because she was overweight. I heard one of the cheerleaders say, "She must be overweight because her mom is." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I have discovered that my daughter is struggling with anorexia. When I sat down to talk with her about it, she said it’s because, "all the other kids at school keep calling her fat." She was underweight before, and has now gone to being severely underweight. FML
Today, I told my mom I wanted to try out for the track team. Her exact words were "good luck, fatty". FML
Today, I caught my mother telling my 11-year-old daughter that if she wants to be happy in life, she needs to start exercising now, because fat can creep up on you, and rich guys never marry fat girls with nice personalities. I was fuming. FML
Today, like every other day, my daughter thinks that degrading skinny people is very "non-conformist" and "edgy". This time, though, a slightly slim girl punched her in the face when she accused her of being anorexic. Now people think I gave my daughter her new black eye. FML
Today, I discovered my 17 year-old daughter has an eating disorder. When I confronted her, she confessed that she’s doing it because she wants to stay thin, so that her boyfriend doesn’t dump her like her father dumped me for not being thin enough. FML
Today, my seven-year-old told me to lose weight. Her reason? There's a family fun day coming up at her school and she is embarrassed. FML
Today, I tried out for cheerleading. The judges, two head cheerleaders, sized me up, burst out laughing and made fat jokes towards me. I fought back and called them, "twiggy fucking sluts." At that moment, the coach walked in and saw and reported me to the principal. The judges got off scott free. FML
Today, I went to my parents' house. I recently lost about 30 lbs. My mom hugged me and said, "Aww, you're not my chubby baby girl anymore." She then said she wished I were still fat because she missed it. She's the reason I lost the weight; she used to tease and taunt me. Thanks Mom. FML
Today, I was watching my 7 year-old daughter and her friend jump on our trampoline. I was really impressed by all the flips they were doing, and I told her, "Hey! I can't even do that." To that her friend replied, "Of course you can't. You're fat!" FML
Today, I told my kids that our family dog was getting too fat and we should give him a little less food. My youngest daughter whispered to her sister, "Mommy's fat and we still give her food." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Baby where'd you get your body from? I got it from my mama! That's harsh. I don't think that someone should get booted of the cheerleading team just because they're overweight. It should be about how well they cheer, not how hot or skinny they are. They are just commenting on yours and your daughters weight because they're stupid twats. Don't worry about it OP. I'm sure you're a better person and way nicer than them cheerleaders.

It's pretty ****** up that out of this situation, you used a girl you don't even know thinking you're fat as the "punchline", rather than the fact that a *fifteen year old girl* is being excluded from high school sports because her body isn't acceptable to the people in charge. Presumably if she wasn't fit or good enough to do the cheers, they'd use that as the reason. It's bullshit like this that causes self-esteem issues, not being "fat" in the first place. Why don't "overweight" (many of whom are actually pretty damn normal sized, people are REALLY bad at estimating this these days) girls deserve role models, or even to participate in sports?

how do you guys know that what she was saying is based on the girl calling her overweight ... well "she must be overweight because her mother is" has the girl who said it actually know/ seen the mother? and is the girl simply 3pounds over a weight that those "bitchy" calls class as normal?? high school girls are bitchy, and that is life. the mother is feeling upset both that her daughter is exposed to such behaviour that raise self esteem issues... but as demonstrated, it doesn't matter what age you are, snide comments still hurt deep down. your daughter has a right to be a cheer leader. and those girls should shut there trap... :)
