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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my parents that I was going on a diet to lose weight and I wanted their support. They brought home donuts and pizza for dinner. FML
Today, I woke up early and spent hours baking and icing a three-tier cake for my friend's eighteenth birthday, which is this evening. I just found out my mother threw it in the compost bin because she's on a diet and it was "tempting" her. FML
Today, on my 30th birthday, my mom, aunt, and sister staged an intervention instead of throwing a party. Apparently I’m “ruining my life” by being 300lbs and being "single for 5 years" and I need to “get my act together.” They treated me like I’m some sort of criminal and reduced me to tears. FML
Today, my parents decided to go on a diet. This would be perfectly fine if they didn’t insist I go on one too. I weigh less than 90 pounds and am underweight for my height. FML
Today, I bought myself a Crumbl cookie as a treat for losing 20lbs. Upon seeing it, my mom screamed at me for cheating on my diet and how I was going to "gain all the weight back" and insisted she eat some of it to "help me out." She left behind a tiny morsel of the cookie with a chocolate chip chunk. FML
Today, as I'm 7 months pregnant and craving sweets, I helped myself to my MIL's birthday cake a little early. The family got so angry, they actually made me leave the party. My husband agreed with them. FML
Today, I got told I was too fat and needed to stop eating, because I need to lose weight. I was then given a full plate of food and had to eat it all. FML
Today, my mom signed me up for Weight Watchers as a surprise birthday present. FML
Today, my niece offered me a slice of cake. After I refused, she asked, "Why not? Aren't fat people always hungry?" FML
Today, while at my mom’s house, my mom told me that I need to seriously curb my food intake. Then I went to my dad’s house and he told me I need to gain weight. I can’t win here. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

fact: you burn more calories eating a celery, than what it gives you.

YDI for not letting the hobo in the park by ur house throw u the party!
Azure_Ebony 0
I'm not sure what you mean by that, but 11 was actually absolutely right. Your body burns more calories chewing and digesting celery than the amount of calories the celery has. Look it up. Anway, I'm really sorry, OP. That sucks so bad. One slice of cake can't do that much harm, and it's your birthday.

#89 Yup, 11 was right. Pineapple is supposedly the same way, I think because it's so acidic.

I hope your aunt kicked your mom's ass. Even if op is overweight - it is his birthday, One day isn't going to make a difference. FYL op- your parents are insensitive.

I see upvotes, so I'd better point out that "negative calories" are an urban legend. Neither celery nor any other food contains fewer usable calories than are used to eat and digest it. Look up "negative-calorie food" on Wikipedia for an exploration.

daamn, they coulda cut the slack on ya birthday :-/

what happened to the, "it could have been alot worse" comments??

I was wondering the same thing.. haven't seen the "could have been a lot worse" in a while now. No complaints from this corner.

not if she is fat. Procastination is never the solution to loose weight. If you're fat, why should you be allowed to be unhealthy just because it's you're birthday? Doesn't make any sense to me.

Exactly on your bday your supposed to go all out...not diet
Acheron91 13
Commendable to see in a kid that age. Also in response to an earlier comment, you can have a birthday without cake. I usually opt for pizza considering I have a low sugar tolerance.
foxyhasmybooty 16
Pizzas do work as kinda like birthday cakes just get a cheese one with some spinach or with olives and make it healthy (I should know I'm a vegetarian)

They punished everyone at your party, because you're fat? That's not cool. You could go dumpster diving!

Just loose weight! Maybe your family is just trying to help you but they shouldn't have punished the whole family.
