Today, my dad suggested that as an alternative to buying me new school clothes that actually fit, I should just join the swim team, lose some weight, and wear my stuff from last year. 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 was talking to my parents about feeling insecure with my "beach body" as Spring Break keeps getting closer and closer. My dad warned me by saying, "Don't wear a gray swimsuit. People will try to roll you back into the ocean". 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

Keeping up appearances

Today, my seven-year-old told me to lose weight. Her reason? There's a family fun day coming up at her school and she is embarrassed. FML

Stacy's mom…

Today, my mom decided to do something new and borrowed some of my clothes. She's currently wearing a very small pair of short shorts and a very tight tank top. We're going to a very prestigious golf course and she won't change. FML

Today, a new session started for my swimming squad. I walked down to the pool, tripped over a stray equipment bag, and belly-flopped into the pool in front of everyone, fully clothed. I'm the coach. FML

A better and more practical plan would be to buy clothes at least two sizes larger than you are right now, so you can eat your way into them. Bon apetit!

I still fit into my clothes from 7th grade, which was about three years ago at this point...

It all depends how old the OP is. I grew hips and boobs between 8th grade and high school. I had no control over it. This could be the case - (unless it isnt a girl??) If OP just gained a ton of weight because they don't eat healthy and stay active then maybe the dad is just trying to help. He doesn't want them to end up obese.

My mom said the same thing! Except she offered me and my bro money so she didnt have to buy new clothes.

Isn't she still technically buying you clothes? Because if she gives you money to buy clothes, the only thing keeping her from buying the clothes is going in the store with you. But it's still her money...
