Today, about 10 minutes into my first jog in months, someone in a car started following me, yelling stuff like "Oh my god, it's Shamu!" and "Run faster, fatty!" I ended up breaking down in tears before he finally sped off, roaring with laughter. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I finally went running to help me start losing weight. I got 50 metres before someone in a passing car shouted out "Run fatty, run". I can't work up the courage to go for a run again. FML
Today, I decided to get back into shape. I went for a jog around my neighborhood. The ice cream truck followed me for my whole jog, mocking me. FML
Today, I was jogging with my shirt off, feeling confident and athletic. A car slowed down next to me. I expected a compliment, but instead, a kid leaned out the window and yelled, “Put it back on, Shrek!” FML
Today, while out for a jog, I noticed that you never know how fast you run until you're being followed by someone in a car you don't know, and they're continuously honking at you. I later found out it my dad in his new car. FML
Today, I went outside to start jogging for improving my ever declining fitness. A kind stranger yelled, “You’re doing great!” as I was wheezing after my first block. I was sitting on a bench. FML
Today, I decided to get back into shape and go for a run. With a 1/4 mile left to run, I saw a hot chick a block ahead of me running. Trying to show off I ran hard and passed her stopping just outside my complex. I started to throw up right as she came past me because I had run so hard to pass her. FML
Today, I was walking on a path through a park by myself. I glanced at the ground and saw a shadow behind me. Thinking of an attacker, I screamed as loud as I could and began flailing my arms to ward him off. Turns out, it was a jogger. He had to stop due to his uncontrollable laughter. FML
Today, I walked outside to see my friend frantically waving and running at me, yelling something I couldn't understand. I smiled and started to jog over to him until I realized he was screaming "RUN!!!" We spent the next 10 minutes running from his neighbor's 5 vicious chihuahuas. FML
Today, some guy on a bike kept taunting me about my weight while I was out jogging. He ended up hitting a street lamp and fell off his bike. I had a real good laugh at him for all of 5 seconds before he got mad and really made me run. FML
Today, feeling out of shape, I went for a jog. I got mugged. FML

What the hell? That's disgusting. I'm sorry, OP. That dude was obviously bored with his own sad life and needs to get a job or something to occupy himself.

I find it a little ironic that someone following you in a car said that. Tell that lazy ass to get out and run with you. The only thing I can suggest is that you get a treadmill but that costs money so like someone else said. Keep at it and you will get results

Am I the only one who thinks that OP should have called the cops as soon as a car behind them started to slow down suspiciously? It could have been someone who wanted to kidnap or otherwise harm OP... next time someone is following you slowly, even if they're just screaming insults at you (which isn't okay at all, by the way, what an asshole) please immediately note the plate and call 911 to report suspicious behavior or something...please be safe, OP!

I feel your pain. I used to get teenagers yell out their windows at me when I would go walking. It's so stupid. They tease you because your bigger and then tease you when you try to lose weight. Idiots the lot of them. Keep your head high and keep at it. I'm so proud of you.

That's horrible! So many overweight people just sit and complain about it. I'm proud of you for deciding to do something! Don't give up. Get some headphones and do your thing. I know it hurts right now but one day they'll drive by and they'll be whistling at you ;)

That just shows people are pathetic. Bully's are worthless. I'm short and trying to bulk up and get called worthless but I use those harsh words to help me push myself of lifting heavier weight. But be strong.

Don't let that guy get to you! He was being an ass! You have more guys than you think trying to better yourself! Keep up the good work and soon that asshole will be totally jealous of how much you have improved yourself! And you'll also feel a lot more confident!

Don't listen to 'em, OP. At least you're doing something productive.
