A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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

Target goals
Today, I officially completed my weight loss journey, only for my wife, who'd previously threatened to divorce me if I didn't lose weight, to tell me that she realized she liked me better when I was fat and that "you don't know what you have until it's gone." FML

Classic Mom moment
Today, I went to my parents' house. I recently lost about 30 lbs. My mom hugged me and said, "Aww, you're not my chubby baby girl anymore." She then said she wished I were still fat because she missed it. She's the reason I lost the weight; she used to tease and taunt me. Thanks Mom. FML

Roll with it
Today, my boyfriend encouragingly told me that he could tell I was losing weight, all because I had one roll fewer than usual on my stomach. FML

Bodyshaming ain't cool
Today, I was video chatting with my dad. He handed the phone to his wife, whose first words out of her mouth were, "Why are you getting so skinny?" This was also the same woman whose first words out of her mouth when they came to visit us 3 years ago was how much weight I've gained. FML

I don't really get it. How would the mother-in-law know that the OP was losing weight in the first place? That and why would it be funny to be losing weight? If you're fat, then you're achieving something positive. If you're skinny, then you better eat some more. I don't really see any of those scenarios as funny.

Basically her mother in las gave her a compliment saying she looks slimmer and her husband laughed because apparently to him she hasn't lost any weight .. So he's basically calling her fat !

Why tell her that she's losing weight? That's such a quantitative thing to say, and doesn't really make sense without any data to support it. Saying that she "looked slimmer" would have made more sense since it's subjective.

Your husband should not have laughed! He was being rude.

Wat a dick..... Depriving someone of sex just makes the other person get it some where else. Duh, its common sense.

Wow usually its the mother in law acting like a dick

It was nervous laughter. When one spouse decides to lose weight, it's usually not for the other one, but to find someone else. Happy couples tend to bulk up together.

22-I meant that the mother-in-law would end up insulting her, not complement her 29-I know that theres a lot of relationships where spouses get along with their mother-in-laws, but a lot of times when i read about something involving mother-in-laws on here, shes normally not complementing the OP

When you see people a lot you usually can't tell the difference. So he's probably laughing at something else. Maybe you had a booger.
