Today, I was watching this show about fat people. I was wondering how people could let this happen to themselves. Then I looked down and saw a giant bowl of popcorn, ice cream, potato chips, and soda. I thus figured out how people do this to themselves. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I began to daydream about going on a diet and losing some weight. As I did so, I unknowingly reached for a giant bag of chips and ate the whole thing. Now, I have stopped daydreaming and am sitting alone and depressed. And I'm all out of chips. FML

Mixed signals

Today, I got told I was too fat and needed to stop eating, because I need to lose weight. I was then given a full plate of food and had to eat it all. FML

Today, I scolded my son at a buffet after he pointed at an obese woman in a motorized wheelchair and asked how anyone could let themselves get so unhealthy. As I lectured him on genetics and thyroid problems, she rolled past with a plate stacked with an obscene amount of fried food. FML

Today, I learnt that eating McDonald's, Twisties, chocolate, and popcorn, then regretting it and going to the gym is a bad idea. I discovered how far vomit, on a moving treadmill, can be thrown across a room. FML

Today, I decided I would eat healthy in order to lose weight. Feeling powerful, I threw away all of the icecream in my freezer. An hour later, I picked the icecream carton out of the garbage and ate the entire half-melted carton. FML

Today, I was online looking up ways to lose weight, get thinner and be healthier, all the while eating a slab of brownie that was half the size of my head. FML

Today, I was waiting for my food at McDonald's. I watched the most obese, sweaty man sneeze into the chips, wipe his nose on his hand and use his hand to shovel chips into a bag. They were my chips. FML

Today, I went to see a movie with three of my friends, and I was sharing popcorn with one of them. Halfway through the movie, my friend asked me why I wasn't eating our popcorn. I then realised I'd been taking popcorn from the man sitting next to me. FML

Coach Class

Today, I was on the phone with my diet coach. I was telling her how I lost 3 pounds this week. I was saying this while eating a bag of chips, a beer in my hand and cooking a 3-meat pizza. FML

The temptation of the fries

By Anonymous - 05/04/2023 10:00 - United Kingdom - Leeds

Today, despite trying to lose weight for months and making progress, I went out to lunch with coworkers and ended up eating a huge burger and fries. When I got back to the office, I noticed that I'd spilled ketchup all over my shirt. Now I not only feel guilty about the food I ate but I also look like a slob. FML

That makes me hungry...I can eat a tub of icecream in a day all by myself....my mom gets angry because she never gets any and she bought it...I'm 16 and 130 pounds...most of my other friends are 16-26 years old and they are like 103 pounds.. not fair! but they eat more than me so it's strange...

Just because you can doesn't mean you should, and especially not often. You may not be overweight now, but those bad habits will catch up with you when you're older. You can't justify overeating because someone you know eats more. It sucks, but your friends might still have an easier time staying thin if their metabolisms slow down. They may only eat when they're truly hungry and stop when they're full. High metabolisms just need more food, more often than the average body. Those two tricks are good, healthy habits to develop that'll pay off later.

Just because you are skinny does not mean you are healthy.

79: Are you referring to me? I wasn't trying to say that. I simply meant those are two of the traits I've seen in naturally thin people. They're good habits to have and they're relevant to this commenter, but they're not the only important ones.

"Then I looked down and saw a giant bowl of popcorn, ice cream, potato chips, and soda." Eating all that junk food is bad enough... but mixing it all together in a giant bowl first? Just plain wrong! :-P
