Today, my grocery shopping consisted of Poptarts, SpaghettiOs, Lucky Charms, Popsicles, Easy Mac, and Twinkies. I'm a 25-year-old woman with no kids. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mother went shopping. She bought three boxes of Popsicles and a giant stuffed dog. She did not buy dinner or toilet paper. I've eaten nothing but cereal and popcorn for three days now. FML
Today, as I searched for food to take to work for lunch, I noticed that the only recent addition to our fridge is chocolate milk and popsicles. My mom went grocery shopping yesterday. FML
Today, I went to the grocery store, and I realized that all I bought was cat food and $30 worth of protein bars. Yes, I have become THAT single woman. FML
Today, I was grocery shopping. When I got to the frozen foods, I saw some Lean Pockets, which I haven't had in forever, so I bought a couple of boxes. Around lunch time, I was hungry and thought I could have some, until I realized why I stopped buying them: I don't have a microwave. FML
Today, I accidentally washed an entire box of macaroni and cheese with a load of laundry. I'm 25 and do not have kids. FML
Today, I sent my boyfriend to the store to get groceries while I was at work. Instead of what I listed, he came back with hot pockets, ice cream and beer. I'm lactose intolerant and pregnant. FML
Today, I stopped at a mini-mart and bought a family-size bag of potato chips, a tub of dip, a box of toaster pastries, and some snack cakes. The guy at the counter said, "Wow, someone's hungry!" I told him it wasn't all for me, paid, and left in a huff. It was all for me. I ate it all by that evening. FML
Today, my fiancee asked me to text her a grocery list. I asked for meat, fruit, vegetables, you know, the staples. She came back with tons of sugar cereal, pop tarts, cookie dough, and other unhealthy crap. We have no other food, our monthly budget is gone, and junk food gives me horrible stomach cramps. FML
Today, we have nearly no food in the house. My husband went shopping with the kids and returned with a sack of tomatoes. Time to make lunch. FML
Today, I was craving some popcorn, so I went to the supermarket and bought the microwaveable type. When I got home, I remembered I didn't have a microwave. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Blasphemy! You forgot the cocoa-puffs.

What the hell is wrong with you? You consider THAT food? How could you possibly live on that crap? You clearly forgot the Oreos and beer.

besides the fact its kid food its junk food that isn't a good health choice op you should reconsider your shopping list

Agreed! That is a terrible health choice. It's ok to eat those foods once in awhile, but at least mix in some fruits/veggies and lean protein!

#29 didn't say that the OP couldn't eat that junk food, but that she SHOULDN'T.

While there are health implications that go with not eating natural foods, Op might have had more stuff on the list she just did not share for space reasons. Or she loves her Twinkies. Either way, she is a working adult, you only live once, and I want some ramen now.

I'm not saying op shouldn't. I'm saying it'd be wise for their health not to eat it so much. is it yummy? yes. is it cheap? depends. is it expensive when you eat enough to cause health problems down the road? yes. so if youre concerned with ops wallet eating enough crap to get sick is more costly than the occasionally healthy option

I don't know why this is an fml. This sounds like the best shopping ever. You're never too old for any of that.

That's on my shopping list as well being single, 25 and no kids. Its not all that's on the list, though. Comfort food, snacks, and quick meals aren't too bad. Many people will complain about healthy habits, but what's wrong with some of your favorite kiddy foods now and then?

Sounds like a right-proper feast to me.

Maybe you can get the guys at a nearby college to give you a pantry raid.

So? I buy spaghetti o's and chef boyardee stuff all the time with my boyfriend. Better than most of my mom's cooking :P if you like it and can afford it, who cares? Food is food!
kinky44 28
Yeah! F*** long term health problems! If you live by those standards (food is food eat whatever you want), you better buy a Rascal and get used to not walking much.

Umm, okay? I'm a college kid and between homework and stuff at home, I don't necessarily have the time to cook. My mom makes healthy food, but it's horrible. MY personal choices are none of your business. Not to mention right about now, no, I really don't care about the effects of it. I've been underweight all of my life and I just got to a weight of 110 recently. Reasonable for my 5'4' height. Once I actually have time to focus on my health and not worry about what assignment is due what day, then I'll focus on it. K? K.

Lol I'm a college student too. And miraculousy I still find time to eat healthy. That whole "I don't have time" excuse holds no weight because between work and full-time school I have plenty of time each day. Also, don't know why weight is important but I'm tipping the scales at 138...and it literally affects none of my decisions.

The food you eat is probably better than what my mom makes. I don't mind some of it, but eating spaghetti sauce that tastes like she just got a bunch of tomatoes, smashed them and used it isn't very wonderful. It's sour and gross. This isn't the only food I eat, but it's a lot more convenient than taking out time needed to study for a test. It's not that I'm necessarily getting defensive about what I eat, but rather a personal attack on me. My life, my choices. Who are you to bash me when you don't know me or my life? I know I'm putting it out there because I'm commenting about my life on a public forum, but it's still annoying.
kinky44 28
I'm saying it because your first comment sounds like it doesn't matter what you eat, whether its healthy or not, just because you like it. If you take that as a personal attack, that's your problem. I'm saying to everyone who does eat like that, find a way to fix it, fast, because it will only hurt you.

If you want OP I can send you some quick and easy recipes if you are really unhappy with how you eat

Thank goodness you don't have kids, or you'd probably be feeding them that crap too.

Apparently I was out of context with my earlier comment. Sorry OP you feel this is a FML situation but I still say all those things are awesome. Sounds like the food of college.
