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

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 went shopping for a new pair of jeans. I was feeling good about the fact that I was going down a waist size until the cashier decided to discuss with me, three co-workers, and the ten other people in line how she didn't even know jeans came in sizes that big. FML

Today, at my new job at McDonald’s, they only had uniform pants in a size 36 or 56, nothing in between. I’m a size 40 so I squeezed into the 36. When I told my supervisor I couldn’t tuck my shirt into the pants like they asked, because I couldn’t close the top button, she told me to lose weight. FML

Forgetting something?

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

Today, I've lost so much weight from depression that I don't fit into women's clothing anymore. There's nothing like trying to find dress pants in the kids section. FML

Today, a customer said the pants she was buying rang up more than advertised. I quietly told her plus-sizes were not on sale. The customer yelled in front of a whole line of people, "So I'm fat and can't read! Any other insults you'd like to throw at me?" and stormed out of the store. FML

Today, I was shopping, and tried on a skirt that was a size smaller than usual, thinking that I would fit in. Not only did it not fit, neither I nor the sales assistant could get it off me, because the zip got stuck. She had to cut me out of it. FML

Today, I have to go on a diet, because I can't afford to buy bigger clothes. FML

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, I greeted my boss with, "Looking good, did you lose weight?" He responded that no, he'd just purchased larger pants. FML

Not ever fat person is fat because of eating too much. Some have health problems that prevent them to lose weight and even medicines can cause weight gain. And there are a lot of "fat" people who develop eating disorders like anorexia or bulimia but because they're "fat" no one notices. Being fat doesn't always have to do with eating and being lazy.

not that i don't agree about fatty-put-the-fork-down, but some people are legitimately just bigger... it's hard to know without seeing them. and, #29, hollister does make smaller sizes than most clothing stores. i'm a size 4 and i can say that. go back to middle school, when hollister was actually cool.

wow people can be such dicks. I personally am a size 16, but I don't look like it. People are shocked all the time when I tell them what size I wear. And it's not because I'm obese that I wear a 16. It's because I'm healthy, and it's because I've got really wide-set hips and broad shoulders. Not my fault. So until you know someone or their story, don't judge. Because then you just sound like the biggest dick in the world Don't worry about it, you're just normal, not overweight. Some stores just have ridiculous expectations...
