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

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 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

Today, whilst trying on wedding dresses with my mom, she told me that I looked fat and awful in the dress I liked. When I told her how hurtful she was being, she told me that I should be grateful that she told me what she thought instead of laughing at me behind my back. FML

Today, my friend was complaining about how fat she was. To make her feel better I said, "Psh, you're not fat! In fact we're about the same weight!" She looked at me for a second, then burst into tears sobbing, "I'm fat! I'm fat!" FML

Today, after being bodyshamed by my mother for being too fat (I'm a size 14) and how I shouldn't be wearing shorts because it makes me look ugly and motivates people to comment on my body, I texted my boyfriend to tell him about it. His reply was, "Aww. you cutie. You know she's not wrong." 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, 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 6-year-old daughter walked into the bathroom where I was grumbling about my weight. Seeing how upset I was, she took my hand and said, "Mom, you're not fat. You just look fat." FML

Today, I told my mom that I'm bulimic and have been for a few years, and that I needed help. She responded by saying, "Well that's clearly not working for you. Why don't you try anorexia?" She then patted me on the head, smiled, and walked away. FML

You can definitely change. It's called exercise and an attitude adjustment. But in all honesty, your mom should have comforted you, not put you down.

What other people say about you says much more about them than it does about you.

F**k those who say you should go on a diet! I think it's equally beautiful with big girls as skinny girls. It's only the way you look at yourself that defines how others look at you. If you're happy with what you look like, you shouldn't care what others think of you! And, also, your mom is a b*tch for saying that!

If she was happy with what she looked like, she wouldn't have been crying just because someone called her a fat bitch. Therefore, those saying that she should go on a diet are correct, because that would help her lose some weight, and thus, you shouldn't be saying F**k them.

39, I don't know what planet u live on, but image does matter. Also, for her own health, if she is fat she should try loosing weight, she will feel better all the way around. I hate it when people encourage others to accept the fact that they are fat, people should be encouraged to take their health and weight seriously, and learn ways to improve their lives. Are you aware of the health costs obesity costs this country???

I would have to agree with 74. Being fat is a rather *large* health risk. And if you eat, exercise better, you will feel better all *around*. And yes, I believe self-control is in with everybody's ability.

i dont know how fat she is, but sometimes if you are seriously fat, it poses a health threat. she could be much healthier.

Bullies have to put others down because of there own insecurities just to make themselves feel better and to get the attention that they crave..... As for your mom that's a whole nother subject what she said to you was wrong on so many levels.... And as for you if your happy the way you are I wouldn't change a thing just to appease others :)
