Today, I bought a new armband to hold my iPhone while working out so I can listen to music and I was excited to start getting in shape. Unfortunately, when I tried it on, my arm was too big and it didn't fit. FML

Today, I was excited about my new fitness tracker that I decided to go for a run to test it out. Midway through, I looked down and realized I'd forgot to turn it on. FML
Today, I decided to try a new fitness tracker. After walking around all day, I looked at my app to check how many steps I’d taken, only to realize the tracker had counted every time I flailed my arms in frustration trying to figure out how to set it up. FML
Today, the "My body is beautiful" t-shirt that my therapist gave me didn't fit. FML
Today, I bought new earphones for my phone so I could finally listen to music again. Not an hour later I broke it. FML
Today, I got my new smartwatch that I ordered for myself on the promise that I would use it for tracking my new exercise routine. Instead, I used it for playing Pong whilst eating cake and drinking wine. FML
Today, I was thinking about my new diet and workout plan as I was getting dressed in the morning, feeling much thinner and more energetic. Just as the thought passed through my brain, the button on my skirt popped off. FML
Today, I wore a new shirt I was really pleased to have bought. As soon as I put it on, I noticed it was a bit tight, but I thought it would stretch out. By the end of the day, I looked like I was wearing a sausage casing. My coworkers couldn’t stop laughing. FML
Today, after losing 20 pounds, I decided to purchase new clothes. All of the clothes at the store were still too small for me. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. I was feeling good about it, until I realized that I'd forgotten my workout clothes and was wearing jeans. As I attempted to do squats in my tight jeans, I split them down the middle. FML
Today, I went to the gym to try to get into shape. While I was running on the treadmill, my beer belly pushed against the emergency stop button, twice. FML

Think of it as a motivation…

It could have been a kids one. Who knows. But this is a great opportunity to set a goal. End of week/month/year/whatever to make it fit around the arm.

The OP could buy strips of Velcro (both the soft and rough side) and extend it like you would with a power cord. That is however, a strap situation to be in.

OP could wear it on their wrist and then move it as it fits.

I love how the FML community becomes a problem solving hub when a person genuinely didn't deserve what happened! This is why i don't give up on humanity! Oh and I agree with these solution ideas.

This will be me in the future. I can just see technology, my vice, turning on me.

#14 - I apologize for criticizing your ubiquitous presence the other day, and alleging you overused puns to the point where it was getting old. That comment was quite clever, and I shall enjoy to see more 'pun' comments from you in the future. All the best. OJ101

28: You took the time to write that...why? "I don't usually like your puns but that's a good one!" is rude with little room to call a compliment. This is before we get to the words many will need a dictionary to understand.

Don't worry OP, you can workout without music for awhile an then when you are fitter you can! :)

Buy a bigger one?
Pleonasm 35
Just use a little elbow grease, OP!

Yeah and some headlight fluid.

It's just an extra push. You will eventually get there. Good luck.

Don't let it discourage you OP! It's great you're trying to get in shape(: maybe just workout without music until it fits? It can be your inventive to lose weight! Good luck OP!!

*incentive You would think that with everything my phone can do, it would know that "incentive" does not need autocorrect...
onlychildFTW 33
Maybe your phone is trying to tell you to be more inventive.

An incentive to be more inventive by making an autocorrect shortcut for the word "incentive".
