Health, Relatable and Miscellaneous: Low blow

Low blow

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I found myself crying in the bathroom because I started to feel lonely and depressed. My mother came into the bathroom, hearing me cry and gave me an hour long speech about what a beautiful human being I am… And to not forget to lose weight. FML

Classic Mom moment

By me - 28/06/2013 15:51 - United States

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

Today, I came home crying and informed my mother that someone had called me a 'fat bitch' today. She held me at arms length, looked me straight in the eyes, and lovingly said, "You can't change who you are." FML

Today, my mom tried to give me a pep talk to boost my self confidence. Somehow, it ended up turning into a conversation about how much of a loser I am and how I have no friends. FML

My body, my choice

Today, I had to sit and listen in mortification as my mother tearfully told our therapist how much sleep she loses over my being morbidly obese. She doesn't seem to care that I'm body positive and happy with the way I am. FML

Today, feeling very self-conscious about my looks, I told my mom I felt ugly and wished I could be as beautiful as her. She only said, "Yeah, I'm pretty, I wonder what happened to you." FML

Today, my mom told me that she heard me and my best friend in my room grunting and talking about how hard we were. She said she loved me and accepted me no matter what. Thanks mom, but we were working out. FML

Today, my mother told me to 'quit having a pity party'. I was just diagnosed with depression. I've lost my boyfriend, my job, my academic standing, and I just got rejected from every graduate school I applied for. And my mother thinks I'm a cry baby. Great. FML

well moms tend to exaggerate, at least it my experience. my girlfriend has a little more meat on her bones than everyone else, but her mom pretty much won't feed her because she thinks she's obese, when she's actually just like 5 pounds away from being overweight. OP might just not be as thin as everyone else is and her mom thinks she's fat.

Why do people always assume that not being skinny=ugly? Maybe your mom just cares about your health.

This can be a math question! 0 > op > -5 op + (-4(op3-3)) = way positive number. (a) m = op's mom's advice a•m = am • -m = ops current mood. (translation: op's mom tried to do the right thing and succeeded but then failed) MATH BITCHES!

8- First of all you shouldn't say that too people, because it's rude. Like really, my niece is more mature than you and she's 7. And second, why call people fatty when you're fat?

97, your comment reminded me of a bad infomercial. Telling people they're beautiful, and then selling your product. And I honestly can't stand when people try to force ways on others without knowing their situation.
