Today, I accompanied some friends to sign up for a gym. When we got there, the guy handed me a form, too. I said, "Oh, I'm not signing up." He replied, "Out of all of you, you need it the most." He then said he was also a nutritionist, and offered a consultation. FML

Today, I was working my job checking people in at the gym. A sweaty, chubby woman came up to me complaining about how our staff seems so fit. I replied, "We like to hire people who have bodies that motivate our clients!" She gave a blank stare, then said, "So how did you get the job?" FML

Today, I went to the gym with two of my friends expecting to pay a guest fee but the cute guy working at the front desk let me in for free. On the way out after working out I started to flirt with him and he said, "Don't flatter yourself, I just let you in because I'm lazy." FML

Today, I got a surprise call from LA Fitness saying I've been signed up for a two week pass. It's from my boyfriend. Didn't see this one coming. FML

Today, I went to the gym that I just became a member of, making an extra effort to look good because I've heard there are hot guys there. The lady at the front desk said they need to take my picture, then took a second look and said, "Don't worry hun, we'll take it when you're more prepared." FML

Today, I mentioned to my boyfriend that I want to start working out and get rid of my holiday weight. His response? "Okay, just don't join a gym. People will have to see you there." FML

Today, I paid $500 for a gym membership after moving into a brand new house, since 12 years of software development has taken its toll. When I told my instructor about my goal to lose 35lbs in two months, he simply said, "Yeah... That's not going to happen. Try another gym," and left promptly. FML

Today, I felt like going to the gym. I asked my girlfriend if she wanted to come with me. She screamed at me for supposedly implying that she's fat. No, I just wanted to go to the gym with someone. FML

Today, I was chatting with the cute new receptionist at the gym. I told her that I would be going there more if she was there. She looked me up and down and said that I should go regardless. FML

Today, I was at the gym. I'm 360 lbs and have finally decided it's time to change that. Some girl and her two bitch friends thought it'd be fun to follow me and belittle me at everything I did. When I mentioned it to the staff, they said that they were just "encouraging" me. FML

Today, my daughter expressed wanting to lose weight so I took her to a licensed dietician nutritionist to get her a healthy eating plan, and even made her an appointment with a personal trainer to get her on track. I walked in on her eating a whole box of laxatives, because "this way is faster." FML

I guess you never met a used car salesman. Let's reverse roles here for a second. Pretend you're the gym guy and that guy is a potential customer. Now, let's say he came with a bunch of friends, and didn't want to sign up. Wouldn't you try a sales pitch to him? If you felt bad, or fat, or whatever, then you need to slap yourself for falling for the oldest trick in the book.

Deal with it or lose weight (unless of course he was being a jackass and you are in fact in shape).

His job is to help people get into shape... helping people fix a problem involves pointing out the problem. If you are uncomfortable with your body and don't want to do anything about it, don't go into a gym.

This is like a time I went to the mall shortly after swimming. When my hair gets wet it goes hideously poofy. Since it was just a quick trip to the mall and I'd be going back in the pool after, I just pulled it back into this afro-puff ponytail. We pass one of those specialty flat-iron stands, where the woman's doing demonstrations, and she's all like, 'oh, you REALLY need this', and proceeds to straighten my hair, trying to talk me into getting the iron ($200!!!) the whole time. She's all, oh, I can see your hair needs a lot of work, let me tell you what this thing does.. and when she was done, my hair looked exactly like it does when I do it with my $35 flat-iron.

obviously you are obviously huge hence needing to eat better. YDI for not realizing you are massive, so stop being offended when someone actually says it to you.
