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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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.

That is how people treat us fatties. It's horrible. They yell at us to lose weight, and then when we go to exercise, they make fun of us. I'm scared to even go for a walk; I just use my treadmill inside, or work out to exercise DVDs. I was walking my dog once for exercise and someone yelled out a window, "it's called Slim Fast!" It's the same way with food. All the time, if I am eating healthy and reasonable portions, especially if I'm at someone's house, they are always asking me if I've had enough to eat or even saying "aren't you still hungry?" etc....At a restaurant, too, if I order a salad, they are all concerned about me, but if I get a hamburger and fries, they start talking about how fattening food weighs them down. I'm just tired of it. My weight is my own business; leave me alone. I don't need your advice or your commentary. You just tell those guys to **** off and get a life next time, OP. Sorry you had to deal with that.

If you're overweight, I'm pretty sure people hide around the corner waiting for you to eat a piece of candy or drink a coke, then they jump out and yell "That's why you're fat!"

I too am overweight, and I also feel the pain of being judged for what I eat. I eat nothing in public because of it, I always skip lunch at work. No, they don't wait around the corner, but they always seem to want to talk about it.

I know what you mean. I've been going to the gym five hours a week for the past two years, doing step aerobics and jogging on the treadmill, and have only managed to lose 12 pounds. People at the gym still call me fat (while staring at my ass as I'm trying to run on the treadmill), and my doctor keeps telling me to "put down the salt shaker" (even though I rarely ever use salt in my cooking), but I'm exercising on my own terms in the hopes that, one day, I'll be able to sit comfortably in a seat or a nice pair of pants. Motivation for exercise and weight loss should come from within, not from someone who wants to put you down about your lifestyle.

Yeah, and if they're skinny, they somehow seem to think they are the experts and that you need educating. I was a biology major in undergrad, and I took several honors nutrition courses as part of my requirement, and I am currently in pharmacy school, where I've learned even further about nutrition and weight loss, specifically. That is on top of all the research I did on my own in middle and high school, and afterwards. I often know far more than they do about maintaining a healthy weight, and yet they think because I am fat, I must not know these things, or I wouldn't be fat. I can tell you right now that many of my skinny friends and acquaintances have habits that are horrible for their health, but by virtue of being skinny, they assume they are doing the right things.

I'm sorry. You are doing a great thing by exercising. What is with people being assholes lately?

The fact that he followed you in a car to say these things says a lot about him. Not that him following you on foot would've changed the fact that he's a ******* douchebag. Don't give up because one dumbass has to make his life seem better than yours by trying to cut you down, OP. Throw that middle finger up and wave it with a smile as you press forward.

OP don't worry about people like that, they're weak. Strong people lift others up (: I hope you hit your fitness goals!

That's one person...most likely no one would say anything and you get those people on occasions and if you keep finding them run in a park or neighborhood or something

I bet he was overweight himself as he DROVE away, at least you have the guts to do it OP! Respect if you don't let this deter you.

He doesn't even know you. Don't let a stupid remark tear you down. He's a jackass and he's putting you down to make him feel better.

I just want to say, I'm super proud of FML right now. Usually no matter the situation, someone has to be a jerk, but there's not one negative comment in this entire thread. Good job guys!

Except for the #18 saying "just pray he does something stupid and die", right? I really REALLY hope you don't take comment as a positive.
