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

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, after weeks, I've finally reached my goal and lost 10 lbs. My sister got jealous about me losing weight, and told my parents and coworkers that I'm anorexic. Hello, intervention. FML

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

That's so good! Congratulations to you. It's hard work- (I've currently lost 42 kilos) but it's worth it in the long run. I wouldn't worry about the comment. Just be proud of what you have achieved so far.

He's right. It takes a few weeks to lose 15 lbs but you could get that weight back in a weekend. Good luck

Losing weight is a big challenge. Even just 5 pounds can be a lot for some people. Congratulations on losing that much weight though, you're dads probably just mad he can't do the same

those fifteen pounds lost have likely already improved your insulin sensitivity and fatty acid storage so ignore him and be proud and keep working toward your health goals

Dont think of that as him degrading you and take it as motivation. Keep working towards your goal

It would take some serious doublethink to take his comment as a motivating one.

Well done OP! Don't listen to your Dad, whilst you can diet and exercise to feel good about yourself, he's stuck with being a bitter old fart.

Today, my husband went out for a walk. My kids were tucked in bed and all the chores were done, so I finally had time to myself in a long time. I just wanted to watch porn and masturbate, but then my husband returned early to kiss me good night, and my son snuggled into my bed as he had a nightmare. Me time? Lol. FML
