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

Today, I asked my grandmother what she looked like when she was young. She casually replied, "I was ugly, sweetie. Just like you." FML

Thanks, I hate it
Today, my grandma told me that I'm starting to look like my sister. I jokingly replied, "Uh-oh I'm in trouble then." She gave me a very disapproving look and said, "You should be happy. She's beautiful, unlike you." FML

Today, we spent the day with my grandmother. During a family conversation, my sweet little grandmother looked me up and down, and without any hesitation said, "I remember you being so beautiful," before looking at my mother, mouthing, "What happened?" and laughing. She's 87. FML

Backhanded
Today, my aunt said that it looked like I lost some weight. I was pleased with this, since I've been trying to lose some. My mom, for some reason, thought it was insulting. She pulled me to aside to assure me that I most definitely don't look any skinnier. FML

Photoshopped
Today, when I visited my grandmother at her nursing home, I was looking at pictures she had of all the grandkids. All were normal graduation pictures etc. but mine was a cutout where she made me skinnier. FML

Faint praise
Today, we had a group of friends over, as well as my grandma. She started talking about me when I was a kid, when I suddenly heard her saying, "Well, yeah, she wasn’t a beautiful child, not at all, she looked.… OK." FML

Today, my son was looking through old photos and showed me a picture of myself and asked who it was. When I told him it was me, he responded by saying "But mommy, the lady in the picture is not fat!" FML

Are you taller than your mother? If so, ignore Gma. We've gotten taller and bigger with each generation. Thank technology, creating differing food sources, some vitamin rich, some carb rich... You get it.

Just remember op,guys would rather have curves than a toothpick

People who try and make excuses with the whole "curvy" bullshit piss me off. Judging by you profile pic, you're a girl, so let me tell you, all guys would rather have a skinnier girl. Some make excuses to not offend girls, some think they can't so any better, but in the end, everyone would rather have a skinnier girl.

Indeed, and I'd like to add some people seem to be confusing curves (as in big breasts, small waist, big hips/behind) with curve (where breasts, belly and behind sort of just become one). Also, some people seem to think getting in shape just means having any shape. Being the shape of a circle means something is being done wrong :D

And guys who think the way you do piss me off. You are entitled to your opinion, but I completely disagree. First, because not all guys are that completely shallow, and second, if you just want someone just for their body, that's just sad (although I know that some physical attraction is needed, but shouldn't be entirely based on the relationship as you make it sound) . I'm a girl, and pretty much throughout high school, I was chubby. I had one of the cuter guys in school pick me over my skinnier best friend because I was fun and shared some of his interests. Also, he thought I was pretty. Wow! :o All I'm trying to say is, guys who think like you miss out on a lot of good relationships that could have more meaning underneath than just looks. And who says a big girl can't be pretty?

people like different things. I thank god my boyfriend loves me because I'm extremely thin and it seems no one likes that. which sucks cause I can't gain weight. enough about me. people like what people like.

I never said that physical attraction was the only important attraction to me. I'm simply saying, that if there were two identical girls, except one was fat and the other normal, 99% Of guys would go for the normal one. I have nothing against dating fatter people, I'm just trying to get a point across.

To be honest, I wish everyone was as brutally honest as this. We'd really get to know our problems and maybe get motivated to solve them rather than live on lies and harm ourselves. If I ever have kids, I'm not going to spoil them with undeserved compliments.
