Today, I weighed myself. When I was fifteen, my mom yelled at me, saying that I was going to end up being 200 pounds by the time I was forty. Well, mom, you're wrong. At this rate I'll be 200 pounds by the time I'm twenty. FML

Today, I had to sit through yet another one of my mom's, "You need to grow and gain some weight!" rants. I'm 22 and she doesn't believe me when I tell her I'm done growing. I'm pretty sure I'm not getting past 5'2". FML

Eat Y'self Fitter

Today, my patient, a chubby little girl, stood on a scale to measure her weight. She was 5 years-old and weighed 65 lbs. I started giving her advice on eating healthy: fruits, vegetables, and more greens. She turned to her mother with shocked look and said, "But mommy, the doctor is fat too!" FML

Today, I went in for a doctor's appointment. When I got on the scale, I was really excited to see that I'd lost ten pounds since the last time I weighed myself at the gym. The doctor then severely lectured me on the fact that I had gained twenty since my visit last year. FML

Today, while at my mom’s house, my mom told me that I need to seriously curb my food intake. Then I went to my dad’s house and he told me I need to gain weight. I can’t win here. FML

Today, my mum was saying she needs to gain weight because she was underweight according to her doctor. She then said she's going to eat like me in order to gain more weight. FML

Today, when I stepped on the scale this morning, I broke it. Now my family won’t stop making fun of me and calling me names like "chubby" and "fatso". The scale was really old and I weigh 110 pounds. FML

Today, I caught my mother telling my 11-year-old daughter that if she wants to be happy in life, she needs to start exercising now, because fat can creep up on you, and rich guys never marry fat girls with nice personalities. I was fuming. FML

No! Just stop eating junk! Start eating less meat, less fatty foods, and stop listening to your bitchy mom and start feeling like you are worth something. And excersise - not because you're fat, but because ypur life is better when you do. Maybe you'll loose weight, maybe you won't. But you'll be healthier.

You shut the **** up. You're probably a fat **** yourself, so stop yelling at her. Some people can't help being fat, it's in their family or they just eat out of boredom. Have some heart and stop being a asshole. **** you.

To Toaster: Bullshit. If they're "eating out of boredom" then they CAN help themselves by recognizing that and working to stop. As for the "it's in their family" line? That's crap too. Having fat parents isn't an excuse for being fat. They may be more predisposed towards obesity because of negative influences/slower metabolism/not learning proper eating habits, but it is NOT an excuse and people CAN help themselves. People like you who spout off this bullshit like, "It isn't their faaaaauult," or "they just caaaan't help themselves," aren't doing anything helpful. By giving them an out, you're moving the responsibility for a person's health and weight from where it belongs, THEIR shoulders. Instead of realizing that it is their bad habits or that they have an obstacle to overcome (slow metabolism, etc), they can now just sit there and say "It doesn't matter what I eat or do, since I can't 'help' but weigh this much and there's nothing I can do." All you do when you say that "Have a heart, they can't help it," spiel is enable overweight people to continue their unhealthy practices, or give them an excuse to not work past personal obstacles. You further the problem, you don't help solve it.

Oh, yeah.......the old "it runs in my family, I can't help it" bulls**t.........90% of the people in my family (both my mom's and my dad's side) are overweight and, while it is true that I have a slower metabolism and gain weigh easily, it doesn't mean that it's impossible to get in shape! I used to be overweight, but I decided to eat less, reduce my fat intake and exercise more and....guess what!!?!......I dropped the extra weight! It's been half a year since I've stopped dieting and I haven't gained any of that weight back. No, I'm not rail thin (nor was I intending to be) but I'm a size 4 and that's good enough for me.

Try to get control of your weight when you are between 15 and 20. When you get older, it becomes MUCH harder. Plus, you'll be missing out on prime time to get laid. (I can't possibly say anything that is only wise advice!)
