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, I was at the gym, when a pretty overweight guy started staring and eventually taunting me. Let me tell you, lines such as "Lay off the cake, fatty!" and "I can see your gut hanging out your ass, for fuck's sake!" don't exactly boost one's self-confidence. FML

Today, I went to the new gym I recently signed up for and started exercising in the men-filled weights room, despite being intimidated by them and the strange looks they were giving me. Workout over, I left the room and saw in front of me a door marked, "Women's weights room." Oh. 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 at the gym running with intensity on the treadmill. As I was working out, I noticed a few guys behind me staring at me. I figured they were checking me out because I was losing some weight and looking better. Turns out they were betting on how much longer "Fat Ass" could last. FML

Today, I went with my girlfriend to the gym for the first time. I knew I was in bad shape, but I bet her that I could lift more than her. Not only did I get my ass handed to me by a 5', 115lbs girl in front of the entire gym, I also have to attend Zumba in bright pink spandex. FML

Today, I went to the gym. I tried out a new machine where you do one-arm weightlifting. I took my time to get into a good position, then set the machine to the lowest weight possible. I couldn't even lift it an inch. A bunch of buff guys nearby saw me and burst out laughing. FML

Today, I was working out at the gym. A very attractive girl was watching me work out, so feeling like a stud, I tried to lift a really heavy weight. I failed, got trapped, and watched helplessly as she walked away laughing. FML

Distraction

Today, I was in the gym when I noticed three trainers who worked there staring at me. Thinking that they were checking me out, i turned the speed on the treadmill higher. Finally one of the trainers came over, and asked me to leave until I got a sports bra that actually worked. FML

Today, I was at the gym with my friends when they invited me to do a few bench presses. Since I'd never done any before, I decided to start with no weights on the bar and work my way up from there. I wound up pinned beneath the bar, calling for my friend to come free me. FML

Today, I was tricked into seeming like a sexist pig. A girl at the gym asked me to show her how to use a machine, so I did, then she started screaming at me to leave her alone. An hour later, I was all over the gym social media in a phone video heavily edited to make me look like a creepy gym bro. FML

They have problems that hitting the gym won't fix. Hang in there, OP.

I have a friend who's a large lady, anytime people give her shit about her weight she'll just glare at them and say something like "Bitch, I will EAT you!"

The gym can't fix an ugly personality. Congrats on taking the first step towards whatever makes you happy OP, best of luck to you. :)

Sorry that happened OP. If I was there, I would've reminded them that everyone knows theywere just as unfit as everybody else when they started and that they still have a long way to go.

If you are irresponsible enough to reach 360 lbs then you deserve all the insults. You people claim obesity is disability and live off others like parasites! Pro tip: burgers and fries are bad, umm'kay?

Wow really showing some compassion for your fellow human huh? She is trying to do something about it and you people still put her down. To me being fat will always be better than being an asshole like you.

Well they're ******* morons for trying to put you down while making an effort to change the reason they're giving you shit in the first place... Also you don't need a gym to get into shape- explore other options if you're feeling discouraged :) Chin up OP

There is nothing I could add that hasn't already been said but I wanted to add one more supportive comment for OP. Huge respect for doing something to change your life. As to those silly twats, tell them to kiss your butthole. Seriously!

Hey there OP, I don't know if you will read this, but I started out at 300 pounds and was 6' feet tall. It took months of dedication and drive and now I am at 250 and 6'5". I am sharing this with you because I was once in your position, I got back at them in the best way, I slept with both of those stingy bitches after I get slimmer and well built. The message here is, keep at it, and hook up with one of them or all them if you want.
