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.

You can sit on them and do like sit ups? And if they start screaming, start belittling them on their screaming technique

Slap them and say "Oh I was giving them a high five for the great encouragement"

This probably seems a bit extreme, but maybe they could die from an accident with gym equipment.

I wish I could've been there to tell them to **** off. Keep at it, don't let people like that stop you from trying to better yourself.

Op I'm glad your exercising and those bitches were angry that they couldn't have magnificent breasts like yours.

It is precisely for fear of this story that I will never join a gym. Late last year, I thought I had overcome my phobia by attending a free group exercise class. The instructor literally pulled me aside, still in plain view of everyone and told me I was holding everyone back and disrupting the flow. People laughed. I'll never go to a gym ever again.

in that instance I would have asked him directly to speak to his manager.

Get strong, get buff! Use their banter to fuel your weight loss fire! And beat up the bitch girls with the awesome sexy muscles they HELPED you build! Or headphones/earbuds.

OP don't let them get to you! They are nasty girls and should be ashamed! Keep going to the gym and never sink to their level! You will ALWAYS be more beautiful than they are if you keep a beautiful attitude about you!
