Today, when I tried on a pair of pants at the mall, I asked the salesperson if I could have the next size up. She informed me that there wasn't a next size up. I have to LOSE weight to fit into the biggest pair of pants the store makes. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after losing 20 pounds, I decided to purchase new clothes. All of the clothes at the store were still too small for me. FML
Today, I went shopping for a new pair of jeans. I was feeling good about the fact that I was going down a waist size until the cashier decided to discuss with me, three co-workers, and the ten other people in line how she didn't even know jeans came in sizes that big. FML
Today, at my new job at McDonald’s, they only had uniform pants in a size 36 or 56, nothing in between. I’m a size 40 so I squeezed into the 36. When I told my supervisor I couldn’t tuck my shirt into the pants like they asked, because I couldn’t close the top button, she told me to lose weight. FML
Today, I was trying on some new pants in the fitting room at a store. I was so overcome with joy when I noticed that I had dropped two pant sizes, that when I took them off and went outside to pay for them, I realized I forgot to put back on my original jeans. FML
Today, I've lost so much weight from depression that I don't fit into women's clothing anymore. There's nothing like trying to find dress pants in the kids section. FML
Today, a customer said the pants she was buying rang up more than advertised. I quietly told her plus-sizes were not on sale. The customer yelled in front of a whole line of people, "So I'm fat and can't read! Any other insults you'd like to throw at me?" and stormed out of the store. FML
Today, I was shopping, and tried on a skirt that was a size smaller than usual, thinking that I would fit in. Not only did it not fit, neither I nor the sales assistant could get it off me, because the zip got stuck. She had to cut me out of it. FML
Today, I have to go on a diet, because I can't afford to buy bigger clothes. FML
Today, I was at Target trying on swimsuits. I tried on a medium bottom and was so excited because it fit perfectly even though I've gained a few pounds. My self-esteem was at an all-time high until my mom told me I could never fit into a medium. I rechecked the tag. It was an extra large. FML
Today, I greeted my boss with, "Looking good, did you lose weight?" He responded that no, he'd just purchased larger pants. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

What store was it? All too many stores cater to the emaciated.

I hear ya. When I lived in South Korea, none of the stores carried sizes over a Medium (which is a small by American standards). Back then I was a plus size 20, and when I'd walk into a store with my friends the girls that worked there would almost panic. I feel your pain. If you are overweight, you'd be surprised what less soda and a little walking can accomplish. I've lost 60 lbs. If you aren't overweight and are just tall, ignore what I just said, and ignore the asshole stores that cater to the media's definition of thin - emaciated.

it very much so IS something you deserve if you can HELP being fat. people act like it's not their fault they're fat. well guess what, IT IS! If you have a thyroid condition, I can understand, but otherwise it's your fault for being fat, don't eat so much, excercise or just get out of the house instead of watching TV all day.

I think the store is stupid. Most of America is overweight. We can't all be skeletons we see in the magazines or tv (and before people call me fat, I'm a few pounds underweight for my age/height. I used to be heavier but then I got horrendously sick and lost a lot of weight). When my sister was shopping once (she was like a size 11 I think) the store said they didn't carry clothes for people her size. I wish designers and stores would realize that people come in different sizes. And there's nothing wrong with being bigger. There's everything wrong for hating and making fun of people who are bigger. Those who do that are sick, twisted freaks.

how about instead of sitting your fat ass down and writing this FML you get the hell outside and exercise so you can at last fit into a pair of jeans. You know you're ******* huge if you can't even fit into the fat section of a store.

instead of being pathetic and writing a comment, you goto the kids section of the store, buy an extra small outfit and parade your judgmental, obviously skinny ass around town in it. you don't feel so quick to judge anymore, huh? BITCH!!!!

Hey, at least I can say I'm not a fat ass! As if you've never judged anybody you hypocritical idiot, cause what you are doing writing that comment...oh right JUDGING!! Clappity clap clap congratulations on winning the moron of the year award! Don't feel so quick to be stupid anymore do you? Huh BITCH!!! haha, i bet you sit around inside all day because every time you go outside you know you can't get anywhere without hitting somebody with your rolls of fat that hang around your waist.

There's a difference between being overweight and obese...if you live an active lifestyle and that's just how you look there's nothing wrong with that...but some people are just obese and they need to lose weight...not for fashion but for health.
