Today, my dad suggested that as an alternative to buying me new school clothes that actually fit, I should just join the swim team, lose some weight, and wear my stuff from last year. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mother threatened me if I keep wearing yoga pants to school, she's going to have my dad pick me up in a speedo. FML
Today, after losing 20 pounds, I decided to purchase new clothes. All of the clothes at the store were still too small for me. FML
Today, the school called my dad telling him they want to put me on a diet, because they're worried about my weight. FML
Today, I was talking to my parents about feeling insecure with my "beach body" as Spring Break keeps getting closer and closer. My dad warned me by saying, "Don't wear a gray swimsuit. People will try to roll you back into the ocean". FML
Today, it's my birthday. My mom got me a gym membership and a bunch of clothes that are a few sizes too small. FML
Today, my boyfriend suggested I try on some old clothes, after weeks of eating better and exercising. The good news: they fit again, and are even a little bit loose. The bad news: somehow, I look fatter now than I did before I started trying to lose weight. 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 took the kids to the pool. I'm short and 20lbs overweight but they talked me into it and I put on a swimsuit for the first time in 10 years. As soon as we got there, a girl my height but a good 150lbs heavier said, "It's so nice to see another big girl in a two-piece!" 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, my mom decided to do something new and borrowed some of my clothes. She's currently wearing a very small pair of short shorts and a very tight tank top. We're going to a very prestigious golf course and she won't change. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

A better and more practical plan would be to buy clothes at least two sizes larger than you are right now, so you can eat your way into them. Bon apetit!

ironically enough like 75% of the swimmer chicks at my school are whales... I would like to say that their fat keeps them afloat and on top of the water. basically, you will be good, however you will still be fat, which is like winning the special olympics. you're still retarded....

That's funny. All the swimmers at my school (including me) (and every other school I've seen) have had six packs since age 12.

Honestly, I don't see the point of buying an entirely new wardrobe just for the start of a new school year, especially if you're trying to make your dad pay for it. I understand that you probably don't have a source of income (I don't, and I'm going into my junior year of high school), but the reasonable thing to do is go on periodic shopping trips where you buy a few articles of clothing at a time. That way you can adjust to your changing weight over time, whether it increases or decreases, and always have clothes that fit. I don't blame your dad for not wanting to go on a mad shopping spree in this economy. Also, the swimmers that I know eat a ton of food at every meal to make up for the rigorous exercise, so their weight doesn't change much. Cardio exercises would be a better idea, especially if you aren't a strong swimmer to begin with.

Your clothes might be worn. That's a reason.

I'm a swimmer, and i know from personal experience that you don't join swim team to lost weight. you join to get/stay in shape. You'll lost fat, but gain muscle.

If you want all new clothes, get a job and buy them yourself. Otherwise, get fit and wear clothes no one remembers or cares you wore last year. Problem solved.

I say just join the swim team... that way when you come home with bills for the swim gear, insurance, travel expenses, he won't complain again.
