Today, my niece offered me a slice of cake. After I refused, she asked, "Why not? Aren't fat people always hungry?" FML

Cake is everything
Today, at my maternal grandmother’s wake, I decided I deserved a piece of cake as it had been a hard day. I was serving myself a slice when my paternal grandma caught my eye from across the room, making a “fat face” at me. She called out, loudly, “You don’t need it Pudgy.” FML

Kids say the darndest things
Today, I was babysitting my niece. While we were at the grocery store, she pointed at me and loudly announced, “She says she’s on a diet, but she eats cookies in bed!” She wasn’t wrong. The cashier raised an eyebrow. FML

Make it make sense
Today, I was told it is "fatphobic" to "assume someone's weight is related to their food choices" and that I have a "problematic relationship with food." All because I didn't want to eat a bigger slice of the cake someone brought in at work. FML

Today, I was hanging out at a friend's house. Her adorable 5 year-old sister came up, gave me a hug, and said, "You're fat. When are you going home?" FML

Today, my parents threw out the beautiful birthday cake my aunt made me, and served celery sticks at my party because I need to "watch my weight." FML

Today, my co-worker offered me sweets, then chocolate and then biscuits. Repeatedly. She knows I'm trying to diet for my wedding. She does this every day. FML

Today, I was with my family at a buffet getting dessert. As I had my chocolate cake in hand, I grabbed an extra slice of cheesecake for my mom because I knew she would like a slice. Upon returning to my table, a couple walking behind me commented, "See, that's why Americans are so obese." FML

Today, my coworker asked me if I was on a diet for my New Year's resolution. When I said no, she replied, "Why not?" FML

Today, my sister asked me if any of my family members had commented on my recent weight gain. I told her, "No, not really." Her reply? "They must just being saying it behind your back then." FML

Unusual cruelty
Today, I found out that my overweight daughter’s teacher starved her during a pizza party. She made her wait an hour until the entire class got a slice and their seconds. When it was her turn, there was only one tiny slice. According to her, she, “looks like she hasn’t missed a meal, she’ll be alright.” FML

The FML here is that your niece is clearly retarded, right? I mean, surely you already knew you if you were fat or not, right? This couldn't be another one of those my-life-is-******-because-someone-told-me-I'm-fat posts. Of course not. It must be the niece-is-retarded thing.

All you people are seriously pathetic. Honestly. I'm fat. I'm not obese, but i'm 20 kilos heavier than I'd like to be. Why? Because I eat too much. My bones aren't too big. I don't have some disease. My legs aren't broken, i could exersize if I wanted too. Why don't I lose the weight? I try, of course. I don't want to be fat. Perhaps I lack determination. But let me get to my point. I don't ask for sympathy for being fat. I just ask not to have it yelled at me across the street from strangers. I mean I don't get on the scales, look at the number and expect a hug, but just because I'm fat does that mean I should be insulted on how I look by people I don't even know? The OP was merely saying she was upset that her neice hurt her feelings. The FML doesn't read; "Today, I ate a cake. I'm fat. FML." so stop acting like she clubs baby seals with orphans.

#8 u better watch your mouth ... that's not true and who are you saying all skinny people have eating disorders... it's a serious problem that u probably know nothing about

I don't know if you're just slow or are intentionally 'missing' the sarcasm from #8. I agree that the idea that fat people are always hungry is about as ridiculous as the idea that all skinny people have eating disorders.

why does "you're fat" have to be an insult? why can't it just be an observation? It seems the most likely since it is coming from a child.

"You are fat" is an observation. I am sorry to say that for most of society it has negative connotations. I wish it didn't. You could always refrain from commenting on people's appearances. It is easy to avoid commenting on people's weight, and tact should be encouraged from a young age. Teach your kids to say "It's great to see you!" or "You look great!" instead of "Have you lost weight?!" or "It's good to see more of you!" It's not that hard, my fellow imbeciles.

Not everyone has high metabolisms and excercise regularly. They do not eat 5 times the amount that thin people do.

Allow me to remind everyone about the FML regarding a man with Parkinson's and how everyone ran to his defense, saying how rude it is to make fun of somebody. Then reflect on what more than half of you are saying. Absolutely love the deterioration of respect in this society. /sarcasm.

The big difference here is that you cannot avoid having Parkinson's, it's not that person's fault that he has it. There are some exceptions, but generally, if you're fat, it's your own damn fault! The OP deserves it for being fat and expecting us to give her sympathy for it. Watch what you eat and get to the damn gym!

Generally, there are solutions. Generally. The fact that this woman politely REFUSED a piece of cake says something about her eating habits though, does it not? So maybe (probably) she's on her way to a healthier lifestyle. Does she deserve to get beaten up in the meantime, until she's skinny? That's the equivalent of assholes at gyms, looking at "Chubby" on the Stairmaster, and instead of saying, "Good for her for taking control of her life!", they say, "Why the **** did she let THAT out of the house?" Many people refuse to offer recognition or support until the weight is 100% off, and that's one reason major weight-loss is a difficult task to complete. Given, yes, the FML is in regards to a little girl who does NOT have that filter. But all these people being extremely critical of her condition have no idea what this women is currently doing about the situation. Again, her denying a piece of cake implies that she is aware of what she's eating and therefore on the journey to do something about it. My reference to the post regarding Parkinson's was more about everyone saying "You shouldn't make fun of anybody for ANY reason", and well, this happens to be "any" reason.

"You shouldn't make fun of anybody for ANY reason" Seriously?? This site would be non existent if that was the case

I was having trouble replying, if this posts multiple times I apologize. You bring up a good point, dear. But those aren't just MY thoughts on the subject...that was a sentiment shared by MANY in the Parkinson's post.

I swear, this needs to be it's own category on FML. "I'm a fat woman, and someone called me fat, and now I'm depressed and I'm going to drown my sorrows in chocolate pudding." YDI x1000.
