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, 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 took the kids to the pool. I'm short and 20lbs overweight but they talked me into it and I put on a swimsuit for the first time in 10 years. As soon as we got there, a girl my height but a good 150lbs heavier said, "It's so nice to see another big girl in a two-piece!" FML

Am I the asshole?

Today, a heavy set lady came to my boutique asking for our "largest" 28in size jeans. I decided to humor her by giving a 52 mislabeled as a 28. It fit perfectly! She happily bought it and left. Later, her mother, who is a Super Karen and twice her size, came to complain about me to the owner for bodyshaming her daughter. FML

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

Unnecessary

Today, my mom and I were looking at dresses for me at the mall. The cashier pointed out a dress, and my mom said, "She's definitely not going to fit into that. She's too flat-chested." FML

Today, I bought my fiancée a dress for her birthday. She accused me of saying she was fat, because I bought it in medium rather than small. After trying on the dress, she's now not only mad at me for buying it, but also because the dress fits perfectly. FML

Today, I was chosen out of 64 women to model for the catalog of a new clothing store. Just when my self-confidence took a dramatic boost, I looked at the evaluation sheet. I was picked due to attributes such as my "extra large figure and average face" to make below average women feel beautiful. FML

Today, I finally got the wedding dress I've been waiting months to see. It turns out that my mom ordered the dress 2 sizes smaller than my size, this way it will be "an incentive to lose weight". FML

Today, I received the beautiful dress I'd ordered on the internet. It's a size smaller than my usual, just to encourage me to lose weight. I managed to fit into it and wear it all day, but I've now been struggling for a couple of hours to remove it without tearing it to bits. FML

Forgetting something?

By Julez - 14/01/2012 16:14 - United States

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

The size on the tag doesn't matter as long as the clothes fit well and you feel comfortable with the way you look.

XL really isn't that big, especially for Target. I can wear a medium with some brands and wear an XXL for Target brands while with most brands I just wear large. Unless you're usually a small or a medium, it's not that bad. Though your mom is an ass, she may have a point if you have large hips. No matter how skinny some people are, they won't be able to wear mediums.

Just because an XL fit her doesn't mean she's fat. I can't believe how many mean comments are on here! Some people who are tall and average weight wear XLs. And yes, the OP said she had gained weight, but you can gain weight without getting significantly fatter. She said the XL fit her perfectly, which means she probably looked fine in it.

Eat food that is healthful. Exercise at least 4 days a week. It is not remotely difficult to lose weight. If the the fact is that you are tall with wide hip bones then sure, it's not a big deal. But if you're just fat, stop complaining and start sweating!

Haha I would recommend if youre an XL type of person, not to wear a two-piece. For your sake and everyone elses.

189: i agree. i gained a good bit of weight, but all of my clothes still fit (for the most part), i have not gained many (if any at all) inches on my waist. you can gain weight without getting much fatter. and i am trying to lose weight. It is hard, no matter what people say, losing weight is hard. i do not have a fast metabolism, and I have a few health problems (not weight related) which make me tired. I was also put on a high salt diet. so there are a lot of reasons for someone being overweight. dont judge.
