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

why don't you and your daughter get a gym membership together, obesity is a problem but it is not a curse

i doubt your daughter is fat. the cheerleaders are probably around 90 pounds and think that anything above 100 is gross and fat

Judging by your spelling and grammar, your daughter's expulsion from the cheer squad had nothing to do with her weight. I would guess that a failing grade in English was the culprit.

You're a ******* idiot. Who says the daughter even has English? Stop making assumptions about other people's lives and get your own.

My mother and family are fairly large and I've spent my whole life defying that and staying below 125 pounds. Not all fat moms have fat kids. Isn't it against the rules to kick a girl off the squad for a non legit reason? Or is being a bit overweight a reason for expulsion in cheerleading? What made them accept her into the squad in the first place?

Mine are too, but my father's parents (I never met my mother's, they died before I was born) were both skinny as hell. Genes aren't always evident and often skip generations. They're incredibly complicated and even people who study them for a living don't fully understand them. Fun fact: people whose maternal grandmothers smoked during pregnancy are more likely to be overweight. Not exactly something you can change there. Some people can lose weight and keep it off, but just because they can doesn't mean everyone can.

I'm the coach for the squad, and she was kicked off for skipping practice.

I don't think all the girls would have to be tossed up. Some girls are designated base and if weight was the case then OPs daughter should just be a base for the throws. if weight gets you kicked off the squad she must have been smaller when she tried out.

that's strange. I've seen very many beyond overweight cheerleaders.
