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?

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.

You're either obese or have a great metabolism. Or you just started buying these foods lol.

There is nothing wrong with those foods, but having come out of a relationship where all he wanted to eat was those foods, I felt like shit most of the time. I craved shitty foods, ate shitty foods, and that made me look and feel... well not my best. I have lost the weight gained by that relationship, but if you buy only those foods I cannot imagine you will feel at your best. I would suggest adding some natural foods, at least. Nothing wrong with junk food, but eating it all the time will make you feel crappy.

I love how everyone is saying to lay off OP because it's her CHOICE to eat nothing but crap, but if this was a FML about smoking 90% of you would be telling her to change her lifestyle habits.

While it's true that no one can tell OP what to eat or not to eat, I do like how some are giving advice on simple, healthier food choices or offering quick recipes. It's seems to me that maybe OP is dissatisfied with her purchases anyway (otherwise, I am unsure why this is an FML). Of course, we don't know if OP purchased healthier items also, but if not, what is wrong with giving her some advice like throwing in the occasional fruit or vegetable? And no- I'm not referring to those who are telling her that those food choices are flat out wrong. Because that is not their place.

Rohawk, do some reasearch please. Obesity (partially due to poor diet, and partially due to lack of exercise) is becoming the #1 killer in America. Just because something doesn't cause cancer doesn't mean it won't kill you. Poor diet leads to heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure (AKA the 'silent killer'). If you think eating nothing but twinkies and poptarts is less damaging to your body than smoking, you are sadly mistaken.

I would have gone with Cap'n Crunch and Toaster Strudel, but whatever floats your boat.

"Uh-Oh! SpaghettiOs" Everything in moderation. But if that's the only type of food you feed yourself, I feel bad that you don't realize the poison you're putting in your body.

So? I'll be doing the same thing at that age.
