Today, I found out the hard way that if you spontaneously begin to lose weight, you may have cancer, not an increased metabolism. FML

Today, I finally lost some weight. Unfortunately, that's only because I had a testicle removed due to cancer. FML

Crash diet

Today, I found out my sudden weight loss wasn’t because I changed my diet. It’s because I have heart failure FML

Today, a customer that I've been waiting on for years came into the restaurant after a long absence. I said to him, "Hey man, it looks like you lost a lot of weight! How'd you do it?" He replied, "I got cancer." FML

Don't attempt this

Today, after I completely starved myself for a week and exercised every day in an attempt to lose weight, I instead gained 5 pounds. FML

Today, I had a doctor's appointment because I've recently lost weight. I'm already underweight, and I was concerned because the weight loss has been causing some other health concerns to worsen. My doctor's exact words of advice? "Eating food usually leads to weight gain." FML

Today, I found out that I've been using a "Trick Scale" that my family bought to boost my self esteem so I'd think I was losing weight. I found this out at my physical, where I learned I have actually gained ten pounds. FML

Today, I found out my diet and exercise plan wasn't nearly as effective when it comes to weight loss as I had originally thought. It turns out what really accounts for all the weight I've been losing is tapeworms. FML

Doctor time!

Today, and over the past six months, after 20+ years of habits aiming at not gaining weight and succeeding in doing so, I've suddenly LOST a lot of weight at 40 years-old due to bad circumstances. No matter how hard I try or how much I eat, my system just seems to have forgotten how to build fat. FML

Fortunately, you're covered by Algemene Wet Bijzondere Ziektekosten and the Netherlands continues to rank as one of the best places to receive healthcare in the Euro Health Consumer Index.

I'm so sorry to hear that, but a sudden change in how your body functions (without any change in your actions) is never a good sign. I hope it's not too far along for treatment.

sorry to hear that, OP. my mom's a survivor. there's hope for you. hope you feel better. as far as everyone asking "how could anyone vote ydi" I believe they might be doing it as in "you deserve it for not knowing that weight loss is a symptom of cancer" rather than "you deserve to have cancer"

Today, as my new boyfriend was taking me home from our first date, a family of ducks walked across the road. I yelled at him to stop, but he ran over every single one of them. His logic? “They shouldn’t have been in the way,” and it was “natural selection anyway for them being so stupid.” FML
